FANNY D. LIVENGOOD

  Mrs. Fanny Davis Stewart Livengood, second wife of William S. Livengood, 
editor emeritus of the Meyersdale Republican, died at the home of her daughter, 
Mrs. Sibyl Risch at Arnold, Mo., near St. Louis, Saturday, June 4.
  She was 20 years younger than her 88-year-old husband, whose wife she became 
June 28, 1938, at Ava, Mo.  After about six months residence in Meyersdale, they 
moved to Harrisburg, where Mr. Livengood received an appointment as assistant 
postmaster of the House of Representatives. Two years later Mr. Livengood 
returned to Meyersdale while Mrs. Livengood continued to reside in Harrisburg.
  In October, 1948, while on a visit to her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and 
Mrs. Max Risch, Mrs. Livengood became ill, and was a patient in the Lutheran 
Hospital, St. Louis, for some weeks, after which she returned to the Risch farm-
home where she lingered as a sufferer from a heart ailment, resulting in 
coronary occlusion which caused her death.  
  Besides her husband and daughter, Mrs. Risch, Mrs. Livengood is survived by 
two sons - Attorney Lynn Stewart, right-of-way agent and chief counsel of the 
Philips Oil Co., with headquarters in Amarilla, Texas, and Attorney Fred 
Stewart, right-of-way agent ? counsel of the Standard Oil Company of New York.  
Her first husband, Judge Stewart, was a widely known jurist as circuit judge of 
seven counties of southwestern Missouri, with residence in Ava, county-seat of 
Douglas county.
  The late Mrs. Livengood was a religiously devout person.  In her girlhood she 
became a member of the Baptist Church, and her later years were enriched by her 
affiliation with the Unity cult.  In her later years she was elected to the 
leadership of the Unity Center in Harrisburg, in which position she ably served 
until her fatal illness.
