The Rev. L.A. Carrington and the Rev. George Cagle officiated at the rites. Burial was in the Pine Grove cemetery under direction of the Green-Kleinegger Funeral home.
Mr. Stewart, who was life long resident of Minden, was an active farmer and was also employed by the Agriculture Conservation Program here.
In addition to serving as secretary-treasurer of the Dorcheat Soil Conservation District Board of Supervisors since its formation in 1939, Mr. Stewart took an active interest in the Louisiana Soil Conservation District Supervisors' Association and the National Association of Soil Conservation Districts.
