Mrs. Elizabeth White Stewart, widow of the late Bishop Isaac M. Stewart of Draper, died Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. A. H. Taylor, her daughter.
She leaves a record of a long life spent as a quiet worker for culture and education, and as a deeply religious and devoted wife and mother.
Mrs. Stewart was born in London, Feb. 22, 1838. She emigrated to the United States in the sailing ship Horizon, which landed in Boston May 23, 1856.
She walked across the plains from Council Bluffs Iowa, arriving in Utah, Nov. 30, 1856, and settled in Draper and remained there until 1896, when she came to Salt Lake, Where she had made her home.
Mrs. Stewart is survived by six daughters, Mrs. R. A. Ballantyne of Logan, Mrs. W. W. Fife of Ogden and Mrs. R. H. Stringfellow, Mrs. John D. Fife, Mrs. James Porter and Mrs. A. H. Taylor of Salt Lake and three sons, Judge Samuel W. Stewart, C.B. Stewart and Banard J. Stewart of Salt Lake. She is also survived by 61 grandchildren and 41 great grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held in the Thirty-third ward chapel next Thursday at 11 a.m. Bishop Edwin S. Sheets residing. Other speakers will be Bishop George Romney, Prof. Levi Edgar Young, P.A.

Footnote: I know for a fact that Elizabeth White was part of the Willy Handcart Company that was stranded in Wyoming in 1856, as my Great Grandmother Esther Brown wrote in her history that Elizabeth was her best friend and they came over from England on the same ship and traveled to Utah in the same handcart company. That Elizabeth came to Draper to the Stewarts and my great grandmother came to the Joseph Gurnsey Smith home. Info provided by Esther Smith Kinder
