ALVA T. STEWART DIES VERY SUDDENLY

Well-known Retired Farmer Expires Without Warning, Due to Heart Disease Had Just Gone to Bed When Summons Came
Planning to Arise Early to Go to the Country, and Commenting on Delightful Change in Weather, Mr. Stewart Gasps and is Gone--Owned Much Fine Farm Land.
Death came suddenly, and without any warning whatever, to Alva T. Stewart, a well-known retired farmer of this city, at 10:30 Thursday night. Mr. Stewart died shortly after going to bed, and after making plans for the morrow, when he expected to arise early to go to the country. The death proved a profound shock among the family's many friends here and in Taylor and Vienna townships, where Mr. Stewart lived for so many years before coming to town.Mr. Stewart had never been known to complain of any trouble, and was the picture of health. He was up and about as usual Thursday, and spent the afternoon with old friends in the Woodbury block, where a club room is maintained, and where the members meet to play checkers and whist. Thursday night Mr. Stewart was making his plans to take his daughter Nellie to the old home place, eight miles north, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. William Stewart, to spend the day picking cherries. Mr. Stewart had just finished telling his daughter that he wanted to get started by 5:30, so as to make the drive while it was cool, when he went to his own room to bed. Commenting to Mrs. Stewart on the delightful change in the weather Mr. Stewart was heard to gasp, and without a struggle was dead. Dr. Nichols and Dr. Boucher were both called at once, and both pronounced valvular heart disease the cause of death.

Owned Much Fine Farm Land. Mr. Stewart was a heavy owner of some of this county's finest farm lands, possessing 700 acres of finely improved farm land in Vienna, Liscomb, and Taylor townships, all of which could not be bought for less than $200 per acre. Mr. Stewart also owned his residence at 112 North First Avenue, where he died. Served Thruout Civil War. Mr. Stewart was a native of Cortland county, New York, where he was born May 7, 1843. When a lad of 12 he came west with his parents, who settled near Dixon, Ill., and here their son Alva was reared to manhood. When the civil war broke out, and troops were called for, the four boys in the Stewart family responded, the son Alva enlisting on Aug. 19, 1861, in Company D, Thirty-fourth Illinois infantry. He served thruout the war, being discharged at its close, on July 5, 1865. Mr. Stewart participated in several engagements, including Shiloh, Bentonville, N.C., Resaca, Ga. and Liberty Gap; At Shiloh Mr. Stewart received a severe wound in his leg, and was in the hospital eight months. The wound never healed properly, altho sufficiently to permit the young soldier to return to duty. At the battle of Liberty Gap Mr. Stewart was again wounded, being shot in the same leg, near where the Shiloh wound was received, and in the shoulder. The second wound in the leg had the effect of properly healing the first one. Came to County in 1866. Following the war Mr. Stewart returned to his old home near Dixon, and a year later, in 1866, came to the newer Iowa country, and settled in this county, in Marion township. He lived there for about a year when he moved to Taylor, on the old farm that he still owns, eight miles north of town on the Taylor-Vienna line. On May 23, 1872,

Mr. Stewart took a wife, in the person of Miss Dora Randall, a daughter of the late I. W. Randall, who died at his daughter's home in this city last fall. Following their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Stewart moved across the road from their farm into Vienna township, lived there for ten years, then went back to the Taylor township farm, where they remained until they came to this city three years ago. Aside from his wife Mr. Stewart is survived by four children--three sons and a daughter. The sons are William R. Stewart, of Taylor township; Charles H. Stewart, of Mountain Home, Idaho; and Burt A. Stewart, of Vienna township. The daughter is Miss Nellie Stewart, a teacher in the Anson school in this city. The son from Idaho is expected to reach the city Sunday morning. Aside trom his immediate family Mr. Stewart is survived by one half sister, Mrs. H.H. Cully, of Kewanee, Ill., and one step sister, Mrs. Watson, of Malden, Ill. Mr. Stewart has been a prominent farmer of the county for many years, and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He was a republican in politics, and took an active part in the party, altho aside from holding township offices never sought office excepting at one time, about twelve years ago, when he received the republican nomination for county supervisor. After receiving the nomination Mr. Stewart's health was not good, and he declined the nomination. Mr. Stewart had no lodge affiliation, altho he was a member of Frank M. Thomas post, G.A.R.
