WILLIAM J. STEWART
William J. Stewart, aged eighty
years, died at his home on Nevin
avenue, on Wednesday, after an
illness of three weeks, from heart
failure. Mr. Stewart had made his
home in the Valley for many years,
coming here after the Givil war in
which he participated in numerous
battles, and was a member of the
Pennsylvania Gavalry. He was
also a member of Sewickley Lodge
I. O. O. F., being one of the oldest
of the charter members of that
order, -and was a member of the
Methodist church for thirty-five
years. The funeral was in charge
of Post 3 G. A. R. Services were
held at the residence, Friday afternoon, at 2.30 o'clook, interment
later in the Sewickley cemetery.
He is survived by three sons and
four daughters, Mrs. E. L. Keys, of
Boston, Mass.; Mrs. R. H. Minteer,
of Cadiz, Ohio; and William, of New
Brighton; George, Gharles, Emily
and Mary at home.
MRS. CAROLINE S. ALLISON.
Word was received here this
week, of the death at the Markleton
Sanitarium, of Mrs. Garoline Snow-
den Allison, widow of Dr. James
Allison, for many years editor of
the Presbyterian Banner. The
deceased was over eighty years of
age, Some time since, while on a
visit to the Park Place Hotel, she
fell and fractured her hip. She
was sent to the sanitarium but
never rallied from the shock.
S
Nice Pice of Work.
Mr. S. T. McDonald, the painter,
has made a very pretty job of ths
lettering on the bass drum of the
Gitizens' Band of Sewickley. The
lettering is fine, but the large eagle
perched on the rocks with the folds
of Old Glory waving about him is
better. Mr. McDonald deserves
credit for this piece of work.
