LOCAL OBIT - Shell Rock Newspaper -The demise of William Stewart came as a severe shock to the people of Shell Rock and vicinity. Mr. Stewart had for many years been afflicted with heart trouble, but as of late had suffered no unusually severe attacks. Sunday morning, after eating breakfast, he attired himself to attend church, but was taken with a severe pain in the region of his heart and was compelled to lie down. Becoming alarmed, Mrs. Stewart summoned the neighbors and a doctor was called, but before the latter arrived the sick man had passed away. William Stewart moved with his parents to southern Wisconsin when nine years of age. Here he enlisted in the Federal Army of Feb. 27, 1864, receiving his honorable discharge from Co. B, 4th Wisc. Cavalry, May 28, 1866. He was appointed sergeant of the company, under Capt. Horatio Parker, during his period of service. In Sept. 1866, he came to Iowa and has resided in and near Shell Rock ever since. He was married Nov. 28, 1869 at Janesville, WI to Mary Elizabeth Townsend who survives him. To this union were born five children, all of whom grew to manhood and womanhood on the old farm near Shell Rock. In Mr. Stewart's death the people of this place are called upon to mourn the loss of a good citizen, a man who led a life above reproach. Throughout his many years of residence in this locality, all his transactions with men would bear the closest scrutiny and his word was in truth as good as his bond. Always of a retiring disposition, he was a man with whom acquaintanceship wore well, as a consequence of which he leaves friends innumerable. He was a valued member of Escallop Lodge, A.F. & A.M., at the time of his death holding the highest office in the local order. Mr. Stewart's wife and children have the deepest sympathy of the entire community in their great sorrow. Funeral services were held at the home this (Wed) afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. E.A. Knight preaching a short sermon. The remains were escorted to Riverside Cemetery by the local Masonic Lodge, where the impressive ritualistic services of the order were held at the grave.
