Presbyterian banner & advocate. (Pittsburgh, Pa.) 1855-1860: August 16, 1862
Died in Franklin, Va., May 26th, Sergeant Major W. Silvanus Stewart, aged 24 years
and 2 days. He was a native of Blairsville, Pa., where his aged mother and three
sisters still reside. Several of the last years of his life have been spent in
Southern Ohio—principally in Oxford, Hamilton, and Cincinnati. From the latter place
he volunteered for the service of his country, 'in the 76th Ohio Regiment. For
meritorious conduct he was promoted to be Sergeant Major of the Regiment, which
position he held at the time of the battle of McDowell. On that bloody field he
fell, wounded in the arm and side. Thence he was carried to Franklin, where, after
fourteen days of suffering, he fell asleep. There died a noble man, a true patriot,
and a sincere Christian. He had been for a number of years a member of the
Presbyterian Church, a teacher in the Sabbath School, and a leader of the choir in
the church to which he belonged…  A few days before he left for the seat of war, he
was united in marriage with Miss Lizzie McMaken, of Butler County, Ohio.
