Mrs. David Stewart obituary in the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette (Lancaster, Ohio) Wed 26 Oct 1960 Page 2
Mrs. Claire Stewart, 83, a native of Bremen who had been living in Denver, Colorado, and more recently at the Normandie Hotel, Columbus, for the past 30 years, died Tuesday afternoon in the University Hospital, with third degree burns covering 90 per cent of her body.
Mrs. Stewart sometimes had trouble sleeping and apparently had been smoking. Early yesterday morning, the night watchman at the hotel smelled smoke and summoned firemen.
When they entered her smoke filled room, they found Mrs. Stewart lying on the carpet near her smoldering chair. She was taken to Grant Hospital for emergency treatment, then on to University Hospital where she died.
Termed the "grand little lady of the Normandie Hotel," she was a source of inspiration to other elderly residents there despite the fact that she was crippled with arthritis.
Mrs. Stewart taught school in Corning, Ohio and Pittsburgh and suburban schools for 25 years. Her father Dr. C.B. Holcombe, was a doctor in Bremen, and company physician for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
She leaves her sister, Miss Margaret Holcombe, Bremen, and several nieces and nephews, among them Robert Frasch, Bremen. Her husband, David a Securities broker, preceded her in death.
Funeral Thursday, 2:30 p.m. at Snyder Funeral Home., Bremen, Rev. John T. Wriggins officiating: burial, Grandview Cemetery, Bremen.
Friends may call at the Snyder Funeral Home today from 2-2 p.m. and from 7-9 p.m.
