Mr Stewart was born on Kenmore farm, the eldest son of the late Duncan Stewart, who came here from Blair Athole, Perthshire, Scotland. He was 72 years of age. Forty years ago he was married to Miss Charlotte Watson, daughter of the late John Watson of Ramsay. The late Mr Stewart had not been in the best of health for a number of years.
