Prof. Stewart died at the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. Evans, in Iowa Center, on Tuesday morning after a lingering illness. He was compelled to give up his place as principal of our school in March, having had a severe hemorrhage of the lungs. It soon became evident that his trouble was consumption. He contemplated a trip to the mountains, but was never able to start. The funeral was held in the M. E. church Thursday at 2 p. m. The sermon being preached by Rev. C. E. Bentley. Mr. S. was a well educated young man, a christian gentleman, and a man that made friends wherever he went.
