Grandma Stewart, as she was lovingly known by all, joined the Methodist church at Strang, Nebr., while a young woman, and her life has been a steadfast example of all that is noble and good. She gave an untiring devotion to her family, to whom she was best known, and her thoughtfulness and lovely character were all the more pronounced during her last long illness. Her memory will always be cherished by those who knew and loved her.
Funeral services were conducted from the home in Alexandria, Father Smith, pastor of the Episcopal church of Fairbury officiating and interment made in the Alexandria cemetery, Sunday afternoon.
