J. HANDLEY STEWART DIES IN ATLANTA, GA.

Wedowee, Ala., March 14

The many friends in Wedowee of J. Handley Stewart, 57, were saddened when 
the message of his death was received here Monday evening, March 13. Death 
came at the home of his daughter Mrs. Hall in Atlanta where he had gone for 
treatment last December. His condition gradually grew worse and he was never 
able to return to his home here.

Mr. Stewart left Wedowee in his early manhood to become private secretary to 
J. Thomas Heflin, who was at the time U.S. Congressman. He has held a number 
of positions in the state, among which was that of clerk of the State Senate 
during two administrations.

At the death of his father the late J.W. Stewart, J. Handley Stewart 
puchased the old home place here, known for many years as the Stewart Hotel, 
and since that time has lived here at intervals, especially during the time 
of his failing health.

The deceased is survived by his wife; a small son Donald; two daughters, 
Mrs. Hall of Atlanta and Mrs. Murphy Mostellar of Wedowee; and four sisters, 
Mrs. Emmett Thomasson of Ranburne; Mrs. J.D. Bradley of Atlanta; Mrs. Willie 
Belle Veasey of Gadsden and Mrs. Sam Parrish of Atlanta.

Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church, South, at 2 o'clock Tuesday 
afternoon with Revs. J.H. Harris and Hobart Murphree, local pastors, 
officiating. Interment was in the Wedowee cemetery.
