HENRY STEWART

The Stewart family were all natives of Schley County, Georgia.  Henry, with 
his family, moved to Worth County in 1900 from Ellaville and settled near his 
brother Peter Stewart, just north of Sumner, Ga.

He was a Confederate soldier, enlisting at Butler, Ga., in the 10th Ga. 
Regiment, Company 8, in 1864.  He was too young to enlist sooner.  He 
surrendered at Doctortown.  He received a pension in Worth County.

He came back to his home in Schley County after the war.  Like all the South, 
he was left dependent on his own exertions and initiative. for his existence 
and success.  Through his perseverance, good management, and industry he 
accumulated enough of this world's goods for his family and himself to live on 
comfortably down to old age.  His splendid country home on his farm where he 
lived for 30 years, and where he died April 13, 1930, is a monument his 
effort.  His son, H. Bartlet Stewart, now lives at the old homestead.  

His religious faith and convictions he lived every day.  He was a member of 
Ephesus Church located in his community.  He discharged the full measure of 
his duty as an honest and patriotic citizen with an eye always to the welfare 
of his home, church, community and country.

He was born Oct. 24, 1847, married in May, 1881 to Lillian Jane McCrary.  She 
was born Feb. 1st, 1866.  Their children are:  Lillian Stewart, married Clyde 
B. Chapman, H. Bartly Stewart, photographer of Sylvester, married Mildred 
Little, John Stewart married Orrel Williams, Paul J. Stewart, unmarried, 
Sophia Stewart married M.T. Chapman.
