Regarding Dinah McKinney Stewart:
"In the mother were characteristics peculiar to the house of MacKenzie-determination, earnestness, high aspirations, piety, meekness, dignified reserve, ambition. She gave her best efforts to her family. In no wise did she slight her duty, but sought to make it a pleasure. In the full enjoyment of health in the years of womanhood, she used her energy in her home for its purity and ennobling. Her life was full of usefulness. Her capabilities were such that she made great achievements in every line of work which, tended to the upbuilding or advancement of any worthy cause.
Frank, straightforward, despising hypocrisy, she was trusted as one competent to advise, expressing her opinion freely when desired. Firm in her convictions, strong in her views on religious subjects, she knew the right and was fearless in her denunciation of wrong doing, exercising a firm parental government Her husband had a well equipped library which gave the children in her home an opportunity to train their minds. She was thoroughly Calvinistic and rigid in observance of the Sabbath day. With her life of self-denial and care of her household she did not lose the quick elastic step, and bright, winning interest in people and things until after the milestone of three score years and ten had been passed. The dimness of vision through which she battled, rendered her dependent on her sons and daughters, who gave her all that loving attention can bestow. She was patient and submissive, and exhibited the same spirit of heroic fortitude in this as in other afflictions and disappointments. She manifested a bravery, born only of grace and faith during the period of her last illness she was most beautifully remembered, and her welfare earnestly solicited by many who had been benefited from her liberal hand, by whose generosity they were bountifully provided for and assisted. Not a house in the village that had not been blessed by her presence during sickness or bereavement. She and her husband with five children are buried at York Springs, in the Presbyterian graveyard, of which church they were members."
*Note: Though not listed below among her children, William Warren Stewart was also one of her sons. I have attempted to contact the administrator of that page, requesting that a family link be made, but have been unsuccessful.
