The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday May 5, 1899 James C. Stewart. Last Friday news was received in LaCygne of the death of "Uncle" Jimmy STEWART who resided several miles southeast of this place and who was well known by everyone in this section of the country. The old gentleman had not been well during the winter and and his aged condition could not stand the sudden changes of the weather. James C. Stewart was born near Dublin, Ireland in 1822 and came to America in 1836 where with his parents he settled in West Virginia. He was married to Miss Fannie McCOACH in 1854 and they moved to Knox county, Illinois, in 1855. In the year of 1859 they removed to Kansas and located in Linn county where they have since resided. Mrs. Stewart, three sons and three daughters, are left in sadness by his death. The deceased was united with the Presbyterian church in 185? of which he remained a member until 1886 when he united with the Methodist Epsicopal church and of which demonination he was a member when he died. The funeral services were held at the West Zion church Sunday morning at 10 o'clock by Rev. J.E. WHITHEAD of the M.E. church of LaCygne, after which the remains were interred in the Mount Zion cemetery. The sympathy of our people is extending to the bereaved relatives, for all knew "Uncle" Jimmy and his smile and pleasant word for everyone will be missed.
