  W. B. Stewart received a telegram yesterday morning announcing the 
death of his mother, Mrs. Rebecca Stewart, on Saturday evening, near 
Manor Hill, Huntingdon county.  Mrs. Stewart for the past year had 
resided in this place with her son.  Week before last she decided to 
make a visit to relatives and friends in Huntingdon county.  She was in 
the enjoyment of good health until a few days ago, when she was 
stricken with paralysis and died after an illness of three days at the 
age of 74 years.  The widow of James Stewart, deceased, she was the 
mother of three sons, who survive to mourn the loss of a kind and 
affectionate parent: Rev. O. M. Stewart, of Kansas City, Mo.; John M. 
Stewart, of Manor Hill, and W. B. Stewart, of this place.  Mrs. Stewart 
was an earnest and devoted Christian woman, having connected herself 
with the Methodist Episcopal church more than fifty years ago, of which 
denomination she was a consistent member until death.
