WILEY E. STEWART
Wiley E. Stewart was born Nov. 10, 1911 and died Feb. 9, 1986. Wiley was born in Jensen Utah, the son of Ida Woodward and Ezra Lloyd Stewart whose families were early settlers in the Jensen Valley. He died in a special care unit 'called The Hospice of Monterey Peninsula in Carmel, California after a long illness. Until the last few days of his life he was cared for at horne under the loving care of his wife, June; his daughter, Roslyn; and his sister-in-law, Wanda.
During the last week of Wiley's life he had the JOY of having all of his children together again, with him, as well as his granddaughter, Julianne.
He is survived by his wife June after 47 vears of marriage and three children: Roslyn Stewart Grose of Heber City, Utah; LLoyd Wiley Stewart of Lafayette, California; and Sheila Ann Wheeler of Jensen, Utah. Wiley and June have ten grandchildren: Destiny Grose; Julianne Wheeler Merkley; Laurie, Charity, James and Emily Wheeler; Tom, Adam, Jamie, and Megan Stewart.
Wiley came from a family of seven children. Ezra Stewart of Jensen, Vera Caldwell of Vernal, Luther Stewart of Jensen who died in 1983, Enoch Stewart of Murray, Utah, Raymond Stewart of Vernal and May Massey of Vernal.
Those who knew Wiley well can testify to his sense of humor and his love of teasing those around hlm. He was never mean in his teasing but really enjoyed a good Joke on himself or those near to him.
As a young man Wiley's greatest fun as a school boy was to tease his fiery tempered younger sister May by giving her a big wet kiss and bear hug. Each morning before school he would kiss her and send her into a temper and then chuckling, go off to school leaving his parents to cope with an outraged youngster. His father threatned him punishment even though he was a mild mannered man, if he kept it up. One morning he was all ready for school and about to leave when ,he reached over and kissed May and then ran. Wiley had to really,move because Dad Stewart was hot on his tail. Fortunately for Wiley he managed to out run his Dad that time.
Vera, his older sister, is probably the one who can be thanked for Wiley's loving, easy going nature. When his mother was busy caring for and feeding the rest of the family, and other myriad of duties of a ranch wife, Vera would rock Wiley for hours and play with him and help take care of him.
His brothers were open game for Wiley's sense of humor. He took great pleasure in doing his part to keep them from falling into a simple routine. He made sure he was the first one up in the mornings and then he would casually take the pick of everyone's clothes and leave his unsuspecting brothers to rummage for shoes, socks, and pants.
In his early twenties,.after attending Brigham Young University for two years, boarding there at his uncle's home, Dr. Hugh Woodward, he decided to see the world. He worked for a while crossing the United States with two friends eventually being employed at Macy's Department Store in New York City. He then got a Job on a ship and spent a year in the Merchant Marines traveling around the world.
After this he returned to Jensen and at the age of 26 he met and married June Farnes, a young teacher at Uintah High School.
Patience and kindness were two of Wiley's outstanding attributes and he showed it in every way as his three children were born. Roslyn was born in Vernal, but when Pearl Harbor came that eventful day for people of Wiley's generation, Wiley went to Salt Lake City and began working for Remington Arms. Lloyd was born in Salt Lake City and then Wiley was transferred to the Hanford Engineering works in the State of Washington. He worked on the Manhattan Project which developed the atomic bomb. Sheila was born in Richland, Washington at the end of World War II.
Wiley and June and family lived in Salt Lake City, Worland, Wyoming, but always wanted to and eventually did return to the Uintah Basin, where Wiley developed a cattle ranch in Jensen at the age of 55.
Wiley had a real love of animals and the land. He liked his fields level and his grain rows straight. He especially loved horses. Early in their marriage Wiley traded 11 of his prized horses to a Vernal doctor for June's appendlcitus operation. He taught each one of his children to love and respect animals. Sheila and Wiley used to enJoy challenging each other to see who could make their horse walk the fastest without breaking into a trot. His family spent many wonderful hours out of doors and camping in the mountains with Wiley.
Wiley participated in a nunber of community and church projects. His last civic project in Uintah County was as Chairman of the committee which organized Mosquito Abatement in Uintah County.
Wiley brought his sense of humor, patience and kindness to all who knew him. Within the family there was always a sense of fun and a positive attitude. June often had to bear the blunt of everyone's teasing, which she took good naturedly. Wiley loved small children and especially his grandchildren. He took great pride in them and in their accomplishments.
Wiley will be sorely missed by his loved ones and those who were fortunate enough to call him Friend.
