Brave Struggle With
Sickness.

Had Been Suffering Since the Holidays.

on Fifth Avenue This MornIng-A Self
made Man for Whom the Whole Com
munity Mourns.
A death of peculiar sadness was
that of William Stewart, who
breathed his last at II o'clock this
morning at his home, 201S Fifth ave-
nue., after brave struggle against the
ravages of disease. Mr.. Stewart was
taken down with sickness during the
holidays. First he suffered from grip,
and from this developed an attack of
acute Bright's disease. which was the
direct cause OF his death. He had
been lowering between life and death
for a week, and although the at
tending physicians despaired of
saving him, he would revive at
intervals, bringing in a ray of hope to
those dear to him who had been pre-
pared for the worst, that he might
eventually conquer over the ailment.
But each succeeding sinking spell APP
parently brought him closer to the
end. and the last one. which began
during yesterday. resulted in dissolu
ton At the hour above stated.
Native of Rock Island.
Mr.. Stewart was born in Rock ISL
and Sept. %, 1860. He attended the
public schools until II years of age,
when he set out TO earn his own liveli-
hood, securing employment with
David Don, with whom he remained
until 1856. having in the meantime
learned the timers trade; and was for
awhile engaged in the stove business
at Huron, 5. ID. Oct. 1, 1856. Mr..
Stewart and A. j. Lloyd embarked in
der the firm name of Lloyd * Stewart.
Mr.. Stewart bought out his partner in
1895 and had since conducted the
business himself.
Mr.. Stewart was married to Miss
Francis Gansert April IS, 1886. The
widow survives with two children,
Gustav G. and Magdaline Stewart.
Mr.. Stewards mother. Mrs. Elizabeth
Whistler, resides in Davenport.
Fraternally, Mr.. Stewart was a
member Of the Knight, of the Globe.
St. Paul lodge, X of p, and Island
City, camp NJ. w. 4 and was also n
prominent mem Der of the Rock Island
Club and OF the Retail Merchants
Protective association. In former
years he took an active part in the
affairs of Company y, l. y. G., en-
tering the ranks a. n private and ris-
ing to the position of 1st lieutenant.
Model Citizen.
Mr.. Stewart was a citizen Of real
worth. None of Rock Islands bust
ness men stood higher than ne, either
among his fellow-merchants or the
community as whole. Always
courteous and cordial, he was ever
"eady ia respond cheerfully to APP
peals in behalf of any worthy cause.
From humble beginning he made
his way to success through his own
energy and faithfulness. Sorrows to-
day expressed on all sides over his de-
mise. Rock Island has lost a citizen
and business man whose place it will
be difficult to I'LL.
