Mrs. Chas. Stewart Dies at SDearfish Last
\ Monday.
One of the saddest deaths the STAR
has been called upon to chronicle for a
long time is that of Mrs. Chas. Stew
art, which occurred at Spearfish last
Monday morning at 2 o'clock. Two
weeks ago the STAR announced the
happy marriage of Miss Margaret
Landers to Mr.. Chas. Stewart, the GER
emony having been performed We'd
nesday, June 25. Immediately follow
ing the marriage the young couple left
for the Northern Hills upon brief
honeymoon. Mrs. Stewart had COM
planned some during the morning of a
slight indisposition but thought moth.
ing seriously of it. The next day while
riding from Deadwood to Spearfish by
train she felt worse and by the time
Speartsh was reached physician had
to be called. She gradually grew
worse, though at times her physicians
and attendants thought they observed
an improvement in her condition. All
that medical skill, the best of nursing
and loving hands could do was done
for her. but after suffering great agony
for nine days death claimed the loved
one at o'clock Monday morning July
Just twelve days after the joyous
wedding. The cause of death was in
tiammation of the stomach and bowels.
Besides the heart t-broken young hus-
band, w. Fl. Stanley and wife were
present during most of the time of her
illness and at death Mrs. Stanley being
a sister-in- law of deceased. Miss Nell
lie Landers, sister of the deceased, and
DR.. Jennings had started Sunday for
Spearfish, but the train being several
hours late prevented their arriving
there until after death had come.
The remains were brought to Hot
Springs Monday evening. Funeral
services were held at the home of DR..
Stewart in this city Wednesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, being conducted by
Rev. DIR. Sparkling, of the Episcopal
church, OF which deceased was a mem
Der, assisted by Rev. G. H. CRUDE, and
were attended by large number of
sympathizing friends and neighbors.
At the services Mrs. I. r. Crow, of
Lead, sang two beautiful solos, "One
Sweetly, Solemn Thought" and .Asleep
in Jesus" The remains were laid to
rest in Evergreen Cemetery.
1t was just two weeks before at the
hour when these services we're being
conducted, in the same room, surround
ed by many of the same persons who
we're now in mourning, that. the we'd
ding ceremony was performed by Rev.
CRUDE. So soon was the home of joy
turned into a home of sorrow and
mourning! Death always brings grief
but it seems that in this instance it has
brought deep grief indeed. Only two
weeks before all the joy and hope that
comes through welded bliss filled the
cup of this popular young couple, and
today the young husband is a mourn
ing widower and his cup of sorrow
seems running over. Under such sor-
rowful circumstances words seem cold
and are truly comfortless, but all that
tenderest sympathy can feel and offer
are sincerely extended upon this sad
occasion to the broken hearted young
husband and the afflicted family ofthe
deceased.
Miss Margaret Landers was born at
Alerton, Iowa, September, 1S, 1880, and
would have been % years of age next
September. She came to Fall River
Co. with her father and family twelve
years ago, and has resided here since.
For the past two years she has resided
in Hot Springs, where she made nu-
merous friends by her ..amiable and
happy disposition. She was a hand
some young woman, whose untimely
death brings sadness to all who knew
her. Besides the young husband, the
deceased leaves father, five sisters,
and three brothers to mourn her death.
