OBITUARY V. A. Stewart was born Dec. 9, 1867, in Platte County, Mo., moving to Jefferson County, Kansas, Oct. 24, 1878, where he spent alibis life. Dec. 15, 1923, he was united in marriage to Flossie Dick, of Pulaski County, Kentucky. To this union was born one child, Edith. For several months he has been a patient sufferer, bearing with unusual fortitude, the pains which wracked " his body until Feb. 7, 1926, he was relieved of the handicaps of the body and went home to his Heavenly Parent's abode to continue his unfinished tasks. At the time of his departure he was 58 ye?rs of age. He was a member, and in good standing, of the Masonic Fraternity and a Christian of true attitude to his Lord. He was baptized while Bro. Rogers was the minister of the Christian church of this place and united with that body, .where he was held in esteem by all his brethren. Thus we see a combination of social connections that cannot be exceeded a Mason and a Christian. We judge, by the man we knew, that Bert is alright. We, therefore, leave him to enjoy the rewards which he merits and concentrate our thoughts upon the needs of the living. He leaves to mourn his death his widow, Flossie, and infant daughter, Edith; 4 brothers, G. C, of Council Bluffs, Iowa; G. D., Salina, Kan , E. C, Michigan Valley, Kan; John, of Lawrence, Kan., and two sisters, Mrs. I. T. Hurd and Mrs. Curtis Johnson, of Winchester. Three brothers and one si ter hay rcf d d him in death Lqt us hope that eventually all nine of this family may receive the richest re yards in a union of mutual acquaintance and knowledge and love and progress to a greater extent than could possibly be obtained while laboring in a world where all good intentions, hon-st resolutions and highest achieve ments are opposed by the united strength of all enemies I am sure his message ,to the bereaved would be taken from fine Bryant: ' "So live that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan that at meeting plan moves To the pale realms of shade, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Scourged to his dungeon, but1 sustained and soothed I By an unfaltering trust approach the grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him and lies down to pleasant dreams."
