STEWART – Dale Co. / Geneva Co., Ala. The subject of this sketch, John W. Stewart, was born in Dale Co., Ala., near Ozark, in November 1867, the son of C. J. and Julia Stewart. When he was about 20 years of age, the family moved to Geneva Co., Ala., where he soon met and married Matilda Adams, with whom he lived 64 years. In early life, she united with the Primitive Baptists, but Uncle John stayed out of the visible church until late in life, when he became a member of Mt. Giliad Primitive Baptist Church at an impressive home service conducted by Elders F. A. and J. J. Collins. He lived a devoted life to his family, his community, and his church. The death angel called Jan. 30, 1956. Funeral services were conducted at the home of Elders F. A. and J. J. Collins, with songs from Lloyd’s Hymns led by Deacon A. E. Sorrells. Uncle John is survived by his wife, one son, W. J. Stewart of Hartford, and two daughters, Mrs. Troy Hall of Panama City, Fla., and Mrs. Ralph Reynolds of Arizona. Interment was in the Hartford Cemetery, where he was buried beneath a mound of most beautiful flowers. (Elder) J. J.
