The death, of Mrs. Stewart was announced last week; will further any Eliza Cabine Stewart was born in Ireland, June 11, 1811; emigrated to America in 1838, lived in New York state until 1868, when with her husband and only child came to Burr Oak, Iowa, While in New York she was a member of the United Presbyterian church. Since coming to Burr Oak there being none of that denomination here, she never united with any other, but remained faithful to her vows with the church of her choice. Her husband, Wm. A. Stewart, died March 20, 1877, and for the past 21 years she has had her home with her daughter, Mrs. David Rice, where she died May 1, 1904, aged nearly 93 years.
Transcriber's Note: In the Burr Oak Cemetery records, there is a William A. Stuart and a Mother Stuart with the year of birth as 1811, so I feel that the name is misspelled in the obituary.
