Harry K. Stewart, the oldest son of Robert John and Mary Lovina Stewart, was born on 9 Aug 1873, in Eureka, Kansas.
.. During his early years, from the age of about ten years, he worked with his father training horses. He was kicked just above the right eye, and this injury never received medical treatment. Since some of the bone structure along the eye was damaged, this injury affected his sight for the rest of his life.
.. He continued his interest in horses, however; for a least the next 30 years. He worked as a steamfitter, a dry cleaner, an insurance salesman, and a civic leader in the city of Topeka, Kansas in the later years of his life.
.. On 15 Oct 1898 he married Harriet Ruth HAMILTON in Topeka, Kansas. Harriet (Hattie) was born 14 Oct 1876, in Eskridge, Kansas. She was an artist, a naturalist and a housewife. For many of the years when she was raising a young family, she did commercial dying for the major department stores in the city of Topeka to augment the income from the dry cleaning business operated by her husband.
.. Harry K. died 8 Dec 1949, and is buried in Mount Hope Cemetary in Topeka, Kansas.
.. Harriet Ruth died 22 Nov 1959 while visiting her daughter, Betty Jean, in Little Rock, Arkansas. She is also buried in Mount Hope Cemetery."
