A. Stewart, who has been sick since last May, died Saturday morning. At first it was supposed he had the grip, but the disease soon took on the unmistakable signs of consumption. He was a man with, many friends, suffered in silence and much patience, always hopeful that he would soon recover. All that a loving wife and child could do, with kind friends, failed, and he has gone to his much needed rest.

"We would not wish thee back again,
Though sad our home is left;
Thee suffered long and patiently,
Sweet be thy peaceful rest."

Alex. Stewart was born In Norfolk county, Ont., April 5, 1839. At the the{sic} age of 12 he came to Winnesheik county, Iowa, and has passed the most of his life here, with the exception of a few yours in Dakota. In 1887 he was joined in wedlock to Miss Lillie M.
