OBITUARY OF ARCHIBALD O. STEWART

Archibald O. Stewart was born in York District, S.C. on Nov. 5, 1805. He 
died at his home in Texas on Jan. 3, 1883. This short record tells the 
beginning and the end of the busy life of more than an ordinary man. When 
quite young he moved with his father from South Carolina to Morgan county, 
Georgia where he grew up and was married. In 18_2 (?) he moved to Cherokee 
county, Ala., where he lived for 32 years and accumulated a fortune, which 
was swept away by the War. Though sixty one years of age, he bore his 
misfortune with philosophate coolness and gathering the remnant of his once 
vast fortune about him, struck out for the West, and pitched his tent in the 
state of Texas, boldly confident of his ability to hold his own with the 
struggling spirits of that comparatively new country. The winter fell he in 
with the company of which Mr. Stewart formed a partnership with and traveled 
with it to Texas, they knowing that the boldest and most confident spirit of 
that party was he.

In early life he had professed religion and was a member of the Presbyterian 
church at the time of his death. Loving his church, he was very liberal to 
it. Loving his Savior, he was a friend to the poor. Bold, adventurous, large 
hearted and a consistent christian, he was such a man as men admire in life 
and mourn bitterly in death. Peace to his noble ashes. A friend.
