GEORGE W. STEWART
Prominent Jefferson County Man Dies
After Long and Useful Career In
Brookville.

Expressions of shocked surprise we're
heard on every lip on Tuesday evening
when 1t became known that George w.
Stewart was dead at his home In this
place, the death messenger having
called him at $40 o'clock that evening.
Mr. Stewart had been ailing for some
time past, and for couple o; days pre-
vious to his death had been In quite
serious condition, but his many friends
were not prepared for the cad news of
his demise, His ai.ment was heart
affection, his death coming suddenly.
George W. Stewart was born Decem-
Der 1lth, 1S47, being In his 62nd year
at the time of his death. He was united
In marriage October 13th, 1874, with
Miss Blanche Arthurs, daughter OF the
late Richard Arthurs, of this place,
this union being severed by the death
OF the wife June 7th, 1890. One son
was born to them, Arthur B. Stewart,
Esq, OF Brookville, who survives his
father.
Mr.. Stewart was the soul Of genlslity,
and numbered his friends by hosts.
Among the younger generation par
ticularly he was a favorite, the ap.
proach OF age never affecting his boyish
disposition, and the death of "Pappy"
Stewart, as he was known to hundreds
of the young folks, brings heart
twinge which only time can heal.
The deceased was member OF the
Episcopal church, with which he had
been identified since its organization
here, and he took an active interest In
the labors OF that congregations
