Stewart born in Ireland and Rebecca Nesbeth, married Rachel Gourley and had six known children, Mary, Alice, Arch, Thomas, Kate, and Hattie. died November 12, 1908 in Villisca, Montgomery County, Iowa, F. S. Williams, M. D., burial November 15, 1908 in Villisca, Rose Hill Cemetery, Montgomery County, Iowa, J. L. Smith, undertaker, informant was Mrs. Bryson. DEATH CLAIMS WM. STEWART The sudden death of Mr. William Stewart of heart failure at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Alice Bryson, in this city last Thursday morning at half past four o'clock was a keen shock to this community. Mr. Stewart was advanced in age but was not known to be ill, although he never enjoyed the fullest measure of health and robustness that falls to the lost of some. His death was probably produced by old age. He was 81 years, and very nearly 3 months. Mr. Stewart was a man among men. His pastor, the Rev. J. K. Driver, said from his pulpit Sunday he would rather have the eulogy pronounced over the mortal remains of William Stewart at his funeral than to have it said he was worth a million. The obsequies were held at the home of Mrs. Bryson Sunday after noon at half past two o'clock under the ministration of Rev. Driver. Interment was in Villisca cemetery. William Stewart was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, July 17, 1827. He married to Miss Rachael Gourley in 1850 and was the father of five daughter and two sons all of whom survive. The family came to Iowa in and has lived in Montgomery County since 1867. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart moved to Villisca sixteen years ago. The latter died March 19, 1895 Mr. Stewart was of Irish descent, his father coming to this country at the age of five years. The latter was an elder in the U. P. church for twenty years. Deceased was a consistent Christian all his life. Said Rev. J. K. Driver Monday, and about four years ago transferred his membership to the Presbyterian church of Villisca. He was never in robust health yet he loves the house and the people of God and only two Sabbaths ago was in his accustomed place of worship with the people he loved. His live was one of humble faith and his chief ornament a meek and quiet spirit. His Bible was his great solitary life: his chief concern was for the children of God had given him. His influence will continue to life in the hearts of all who knew him. All the family were at the funeral of their sainted father. "He fought the fight He kept the faith". He lived the allotted span of human live. He has received the crown of life laid up for him. Among his last were: "The Lord has been good to me, May we die the death of the righteous and may our last hours be like his. The best and most eloquent eulogy is his quiet consistent live: the best possession his believing trusting faith; his best legacy the influence he has left behind. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were lovely and pleasant in their lives and now by their death are not divided." A large crowd attended the funeral services. Mr. Stewart's seven children are: Mrs. Jennie Bean of Lincoln, Nebraska: A. M. Stewart of Tina, Missouri: Mrs. A. L. Hallam of Steele City Nebraska: Mrs. Mary Bolt of Red Oak: T. G. Stewart of Bedford: Mrs. Charles Patton of Atlanta, Georgia, and Mrs. Alice Bryson of Villisca. All were present at the funeral.

Stewart of Tina, Missouri; Mrs. Hallan's daughter Hazel of Steel City: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Luppod of Red Oak: Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Zimmerman of Creston: Mr. and Mrs. C. W.
