Stewart Cemetery is in Section 35s-Twp 21e-Range 5, in the community of Bethany, in the Myakka City postal delivery area. It is approximately 2.5 miles east of Bethany Baptist Church. It is southwest of Kibler Ranch Road on private property, off of 34th Avenue East. The Manatee River lies to the south of the cemetery. The property owner keeps his gate locked so there is no public access without prior permission. This cemetery is approx. 70' x 70', surrounded by field fencing mounted on wooden posts. It's in a heavily wooded area and down a long, winding dirt trail. The gravesites are in a clearing; the property owner maintains this as part of his 39-acre piece of land. The last burial took place at this cemetery in 1914, according to dates on the headstones. Recently, some descendants have discussed the possibility of moving the headstones to the Bethany Baptist Church cemetery. Two large headstones dominate this burial ground: "Mother" Mary E. Rich and "Father" Alfred Rich.
