John Stuart, aged 81 years, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jud
Nichols, in Richland, South Dakota, Wednesday evening, December 20, 1911,
after an illness of two days, the immediate cause of death being paralysis.
Mr. Stuart was born at Dover, Canada, December 19, 1830. He came to Richland
over twenty years ago and lived there continuously for fifteen years, after
which time he removed to Sioux City, where he made his home for four years.
About a year ago he moved back to Richland to make his home with his
daughter, at whose home he died. Ten years ago Mr. Stuart suffered a stroke
of paralysis and now suffered a second stroke on the 81st anniversary of his
birth, from which he failed to recover. In 1865 he was united in marriage to
Miss Julia Payne. To them were born one son and five daughters, all of whom,
with his loving wife, survive him. The funeral services were held in the
Richland church conducted by Rev. H. E. Rice, of Elk Point. Interment was
made in the Richland cemetery. Will Webster and mother, Mrs. Webster, and
Mr. and Mrs. Blue, of Sioux Falls, came to attend the funeral.
