SUDDEN DEATH OF A. M. STEWART

PROMINENT FARMER AND LEADER IN SEVERAL MOVEMENTS DIES OF HEART FAILURE

END COMES WITHOUT WARNING

He Was Secretary of the Farmers' Institute and Grand Treasurer of the Horse Thief Detectives

A. M. Stewart, one of the most prominent farmers of Montgomery county and a leader in several lines of agricultural activity, died very suddenly last night at his home four miles southeast of Darlington. Except for a slight indisposition of the stomach a few hours before the end came he had been in his usual excellent health. About half-past nine he was taken with a severe pain in the heart. A hasty telephone message to the doctor brought forth instruction for a simple emergency treatment until the physician could arrive, but while they were being carried out Mr. Stewart fell back on the bed and expired immediately. The cause is supposed to have been neuralgia of the heart.

Mr. Stewart was a native of Montgomery county, having been born Dec. 28, 1861, on the farm which joins his own place of 120 acres in Franklin township. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. John A Stewart, early settlers of that part of the county, both of whom are now dead. On Nov. 10, 1886, he was married to Miss Addie Jones, who with two children survives him. The children are Harold Stewart, now employed in Detroit, and Lloyd, a pupil of the Darlington high school and a member of this year's graduating class.
Mr. Stewart also has two sisters and two brothers living, Mrs. Sarah Hammack, of Frankfort, Mrs. Emma Mount, of Connersville, James H. Stewart, who lives on the Stewart home place, and William Calvin Stewart, of this city.

He was a member of the Methodist Church. He was an enthusiastic worker in the Knights of Pythias, having been chancellor commander of Darlington Lodge No. 159. For years he has been prominent in the organization of Horse Thieves Detectives and was at the time of his death grand treasurer of the national association. He was also secretary of the Montgomery County Farmers' Institute and was taking a great interest in the boys' corn club now being formed.

Genial, affable, wholesouled, genuine, industrious, he was considered one of the leading farmers of the county with a high respect for his calling. He was popular and sincerely loved by all who had the privilege of his friendship.

The funeral will occur Saturday at ten o'clock in the Methodist church in Darlington, conducted by the pastor Rev. J. H. Rayle. The Knights of Pythias will have charge of the ritualistic work and the burial will be in the I. O. O. F. cemetery in the lot of his brother, W. C. Stewart.
