Charles Stewart, Itasca County Independent, 18 March 1909

 

 "The angel of death enters the Stewart home. Charles Stewart, age 73 

years, a resident of this village for the past five years, quietly 

and peacefully passed to the great beyond Tuesday morning March 9th, 

at three o'clock. Death was due to paralysis and bronchitis. He had 

seemingly been enjoying his usual health till a week prior to his 

death at which time he was stricken with paralysis. Tho he was cared 

for by a faithful and loving wife and other devoted members of the 

family as well as sympathetic friends, death was inevitable and the 

frail bond was broken, his spirit taking its flight to that home 

prepared for those who have faith in their Maker."

 Chas. Stewart was born Dec. 9, 1835, at Park Corners, New 

London county, Prince Edwards Island. He came to Minnesota in 1869. 

In 1871 he was united in marriage to Miss Isabel Wilcox at Little 

Falls. Four  children were born of this union, three of whom are 

living. They  are: Fred Stewart of Hankinson, N. D., Bert and Mamie 

Stewart of  Hill City.

 In the death of this townsman, the community has lost a kind 

neighbor, and an industrious and upright citizen while his family 

has lost a thoughtful husband and loving father. Those who came to 

know him were  impressed with his gentle manners and his Christian 

character.  Altho his residence was not taken up in this village till 

he had  almost reached his 'three score and ten' he made many warm 

friends  in this short time. To his widow and family who will yearn 

for 'the  touch of the vanished hand and the sound of the voice that 

is still'  the friends and neighbors express their sincere sympathy 

in this  hour of bereavement and bid them be strong to bear the burden 

of sorrow thus allotted them resting with the assurance that 'blessed 

be they that die in Christ.
