He was married to Sarah Catherine Richardson in Wabash, Wabash Co, Ind. in 1861.
(She must have been born in 1845, as her father's list of children shows that she was born after John who was born in 1844 making her age 16 at time of marriage in 1861).
They moved to Iowa in 1886 stopping at Malvern in the fall, then to Thurman for the winter. In the spring they moved onto the James Michael Walt farm. Since that time their home has been in and around Glenwood.
His wife died about 28 years ago (she would have died around 1893-1895)
leaving Mr. Stewart alone with three young children to raise. He kept the home together until the children were all married and homes of their own but one, Sherman the youngest child.
For the past thirteen years he has made his home with his children.
He leaves ten living children. Three passed away in the early years of their lives. The living children are: John Stewart, Malvern; Jennie Slack, Omaha; Frank Stewart, Idaho; Arthur Stewart, Greenwood, Nebr.; Clara Hubbell, Glenwood; Bert Stewart, Glenwood; Jess Stewart, San Anna, Calif.; Hattie Hunnicutt, Omaha; Alma Racobs, Glenwood and Sherman, Comfrey, Minn. There are 54 living grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.
Based on the above info that Sarah's husband, Robert William Stewart, never moved away from the family homestead since Sarah died they would have seemed to have been buried at the same cemetery.
There is a possibility that she may have been visiting family in Kokomo, Ind. or Wabash County upon her death. An orbit has not yet been found.
