Levi E. Steward.

Levi Emery Steward died at the
home Of his daughter, Mrs. F. A.
Nolin, Sunday morning last, aged 50
years. Heart trouble was the cause
of his death and he had been conhn-
ed to the house for about one week.
Mr.. Steward was a native of this
town and had always lived here. He
was a farmer through most of the ac-
tive period of his life and was also
extensively engaged in numbering for
many years, being associated in the
latter enterprise with the late Abner
Coburn and the late William Parker.
He was married, November IA, 1844
to Fannie Wyman, whose death oc-
Cured August II, 1899, and for the
nine years since he had made his
home with the daughter above men
toned. A brother, Philander, living
here, six children, ten grandchildren,
and one great grandchild survive.
OF the six children five reside in
Skowhegan, Wyman and John H.
Steward, Mrs. F. A. Nolin, Mrs c. L..
Webb and Mrs. Ida Leavitt, and one
son, Levi P. in Minneapolis.
Funeral services were observed at
the First Baptist Church, yesterday
forenoon at eleven O'Clock, conduct
ed by the Rev. T. L. Frost.
The following eulogy of this estim-
able man is by his pastor, the Rev.
Mr.. Frost.
IAN honest man is the noblest work Of God"
To have known Levi E. Steward
was to have known man of remark =
able integrity. Born nearly Sc years
ago on the old homestead on Middle
Road, he grew to manhood and be-
came engaged in numbering for the
Coburns.
Later he was member of the firm
Of William Parker and Co. He re-
tired from active business life over
twenty years ago. Throughout his
business career none could point to a
dishonest business transaction of
which he was guilty. Men trusted
and respected him as an upright bust
ness man and a worthy citizen.
Material things did not take his
thoughts from spiritual realities. In
the winter of 1848, as young man of
twenty five he was baptized through
the ice into the fellowship of the
Baptist Church, now called the First
Baptist church. He proved a loyal
follower of Christ, and for sixty years
faithful member of the church he
loved 80 well. For years he was the
parish treasurer and collector, and
since June 1886 an honored deacon.
Even during his last years of declin-
ing health and strength he has been
in his accustomed place at the morn
ing worship of the church, and al
though he could hear little of the
service, he could glorify God by his
presence, and could impart blessing
through his strong manly hand grasp,
and pleasant greeting. In laying
him to rest the church parts with one
Of It's most valued members, and loyal
supporters.
In his family life, Dea. Steward was
a good Christian father, setting be-
fore his children an example of
Christian living which they can never
forget. How can we better sum-
marize this noble life than to say in
the words of the Psalmist: "Mark
the perfect man, aud behold the up
right, for the latter end of that man
is peace.o
