While not unexpected the death of Rev. Olin S. Stewart on Thursday night last was a great shock to the community. While it was generally understood that there was no grounds for hope, his friends hoped against hope. Funeral services were held at the ME Church on Sunday at half past two, the body lying in state for the hour preceding. Rev. U.G. Leazenby, District Supt had charge of the service, assisted by Revs. Boyer, Stovall, and Appleby. The singing was by the district male quarter of which Mr. Stewart had been a member consisting of Revs. Grant Howard, Guy Tremain and Israel Holton - Mr. Harris of Crawfordsville taking Mr. Stewart's place. The auditorium was crowded and many turned away. Burial at Maple Ridge. Olin Scott Stewart was born in Jefferson Ohio the 3 day of June 1882; moved with his parents at age 7 to Jasper Co IN at which place he spent his boyhood days. He was united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at the age of 13 and was always active in Sunday School and Church work even prior to his taking up the ministry. He was united in marriage to Ethel L. Pearson Aug 26, 1903 - to this union four sons, Glenn, Albert, Delmar and Austin. Six years immediately following the marriage he taught school in Jasper and Tippecanoe Counties and it was during this work that he felt the call to the ministry, in which work he has completed more than 13 years of continuous service. His first pastorate was at Pence; then going to Montmorenci, and for the past 6 years has served at Waveland and New Market. He was a member of the Masonic and Knights of Pythias Lodges. About 5 weeks ago the deceased was stricken with his last illness death coming on Thursday evening Jan 19, 1922 at the Methodist Hospital, Indianapolis. He is survived by his wife, 4 sons, father, mother, one sister and two brothers, besides other relatives and other innumerable friends. A man has gone from our community who stood four square to life's responsibilities. As a minister of the gospel he was faithful to make plain the words of the Master and his heart was tender and open towards all, whether of his way of believing or not. He was always ready to carry encouragement to the sick, to console the dying, to speak words of hope and cheer to the bereaved. His Christianity transcended church lines, and he was indeed a true minister. When the World War came he accepted his full share of the burden. He was head of the Red Cross work in this township and truly worked in season and out of season, organizing and carrying on the work, when - with the war - the influenza epidemic paralyzed Waveland, he went everywhere with words of encouragement and material help. His services were always in demand to preside over public meetings or to give addresses on the subject of the hour. To these demands he always responded freely, and what he had to say was always worth hearing. Desire for popularity never led him to vary from what he thought to be the true and proper thing to be said. He was at home in social and fraternal gatherings and always welcome. He took a deep interest in our schools and one of the last services asked of him was the bible class in the High School.
