FORMER RESIDENT, WIDOW OF POSTMASTER, DEAD

  Mrs. Anna S. Stewart, whose husband, Colonel Frank B. Stewart, was 
postmaster of Altoona from April 5, 1869 to Feb. 8, 1877, died on

years. The remains will be brought to Altoona on Thursday afternoon on 
train No. 15 for burial in Fairview cemetery.
  Mrs. Stewart for some years following the death of her husband 
resided in Altoona but her health becoming such that a change of 
climate was deemed advisable, she had resided for the past five years 
with her daughter, Mrs. R. H. Stone of Washington. 
  Mrs. Stewart prior to her marriage was Miss Anna S. Hawksworth, the 
daughter of George and Susan Hawksworth, former well known residents of 
this city. She was 74 years old at her death. 
  She is survived by her daughters, Susan, Mrs. R. H. Stone and 
Georgetta, all of Washington, and Mrs. Thad Trout of Lima, O., and one 
sister, Mrs. Ella J. Paul of Neff's Mills, Pa.
