ed edit: When I read this memorial's bio, I noticed a few typographical errors. My correction would read as follows, with one issue still remaining (see the " *** " in and after the bio paragraph):
A retired commercial electrician and a proud U.S. Marine Corps Veteran. Stewart was a pistol marksman serving with the U. S. Marines during World War II. He trained at Parris Island, South Carolina, and was stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina in 1941. He served in the famous Solomon Islands Campaign which took place *** in the South Pacific. His great-great-grandfather was Domingo Fernandez of Spain, who was a large land holder in northeast Florida (including Amelia Island) in the late 1700's. Stewart's death was due to lung cancer.
***I am not sure what was meant by this: Peleliu was one island, but it was in the Palau Islands group. (This can be verified at: https://www.usmcu.edu/Research/Marine-Corps-History-Division/Brief-Histories/Marines-in-World-War-II/The-Battle-of-Peleliu, or by the top Google search results with the term Peleliu Islands.
[By the way, in case you wanted to hyperlink it, the great-great-grandfather referenced in the bio *appears* to have his own Find a Grave memorial at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/41941297/domingo-figuerola-fernandez.]
