From his Obituary -
"Mr Stewart was a pioneer of Utah and a pioneer Latter Day Saint. He underwent the hardships and suffered from the persecutions of the Saints before Utah was dreamed of. He came to Utah among the first and suffered all the hardships that went with the development of the country. Later he was among those who was made to feel the punishment that was inflicted on many members of the church in this state.
Mr. Stewart was born in Tuscaloosa county, Alabama on June 2 1839. He became a Latter Day Saint in eastern Iowa in 1839 and was among those who suffered because of religious persecutions in Iowa. He came to Utah in September 1847, less than two months after the original pioneers reached Utah.
In 1869 Mr. Stewart came to the Sevier Valley where he had resided continuously up to the time of his death. He was the first bishop of Inverury ward. On charges of polygamy, Mr. Stewart served two terms in the Utah state penitentiary. He is survived by a widow, five sons, ten daughters, 72 grandchildren and 35 great grand children."
