  	Ian Scott, http://www.borenich.co.uk/Ross_Document/RossFootnote_Alex.html Neil Stewart died on 28th April 1904, and the following obituary appeared in the local paper. " The Grim Reaper has claimed another of the old residents of Lanark county in the person of Mr Neil Stewart of Beckwith, who passed away on Thursday of last week at the age of 93 years. In December of 1902 the Gazette had the privilege of presenting to its readers an engraving of the deceased, as well as of his brother, Mr Duncan Stewart, of Ramsay, and short sketches of their lives at that time. The deceased was born in the parish of Pitlochrie, county of Perth, Scotland, in the year 1811 and was the oldest of his father's family. He came to Canada in 1835 and worked in Bytown, then a small village, for five years. Mr Stewart married his cousin, Isabella, daughter of Mr John Stewart, of Ashton, and afterwards bought a farm on the seventh line of Beckwith. Mr Stewart had learned the trade of carpenter in Scotland and when circumstances would permit he still followed that occupation. His wife died in 1899. Of the children, three daughters and two sons are still living. The daughters are Mrs Albert Lewis, Brockville and Misses Lizzie and Bella at home, and the sons are John B., 8th line Beckwith, with whom deceased spent his declining years, and Duncan B., of Lennox, Manitoba. The deceased was a man of stirling character, and was honored and respected by all who knew him, and his name will long be revered as that of a sturdy champion of right and truth. He was for many years an elder in Knox Presbyterian church at Black's Corners. In politics he was a staunch Liberal. The funeral took place on Sunday morning to Dewar's cemetery and was very largely attended. Rev. Mr McFarlane conducted the service. "
