STEWART Author: M.T. T. Date: 30 Apr 2001 12:00 PM GMT Email: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Lincoln County Leader, Jan. 25, 1895, Toledo, Oregon IN MEMORIAM Mrs. Nancy S. Stewart, departed this life at her home in Gosper County, Nebraska on Wednesday, December 19, 1894, aged 67 years, 6 months and 14 days. Nancy Scott Martin was born in Henry county, Kentucky on June 5th, 1827. While yet in her girlhood, she removed with her family to Indiana and on the 26th day of April 1859 (the date isn't clear, this is my best guess) she was united in marriage to George N. Stewart. To them were born twelve children, seven boys and five girls. Of this family there are still nine living, three of the girls having passed away. The beloved subject of this memoriam continued to enjoy the faithful companionship of her husband until May 28,1878, when death claimed her life's helpmate and she was left alone with her children. With them she continued to reside in Indiana until 1881 when with the greater part of her family she emigrated to Gosper county, Nebraska where she homesteaded a piece of land and on which she made her home until the time of her death. In her early girlhood, she united with the Christian or Campbellite church, but later on severed her relation with that church and united with the Baptist church that she might worship with the same demonination as her husband. Of the latter church, she was a faithful and consistent member for more than twenty-five years. But her conception of the Christian religion did not stop with the carrying of her name on the church record, her life was filled with many kindly deeds of Christian charity, love, forebearance and fortitude, the memory which will be a shining light for many feet that follow after her. A loving and faithful wife, she could be nothing else than a loving and patient mother. In her family, her life seemed central. Her chiefest aim was the welfare of her children, and the griefs and trials born uncomplaingly, the sore sacrifices made cheerfully and the silently uttered prayers for the welfare of her children which she has made may never be known only by Him who knoweth all things and by whom the fall of even a sparrow is noted. That she was a loving and true parent, the writer of these weak lines to her blessed memory can attest. About two years ago, feeling the weakness of age coming upon her, she quit housekeeping and lived from that time to her death with her children who lived near and with her. In the winter of 1892-93, she was attacked with the lagrippe, which was then prevalent in that country. She apparently recovered but the insidious disease had undermined a hitherto strong constitution, and during the present winter she began to fail rapidly, the disease taking the form of the dropsy of the heart. On Sunday, December 16, she began to get rapidly worse and word was telegraphed to her children, but owing to distance some of them did not get to her bedside in time to see her again alive. She passed peacefully away to her better home on Wednesday, and on Sunday, December 22nd, she was laid to rest in the beautiful little cemetery at Arapahoe, Nebraska. In her death the community have lost a good Christian woman and the family have lost that dearest friend on earth, a "kind and loving mother". In trying to find words that will tell of her many loving traits and kindess, we realize how weak are words and yet there is one word that will ever be clustered around with all love and veneration and which in our recent loss we find a new meaning. To her whom we loved and who loved and lived for us, we will give that name which now is nearer and dearer than ever--she was our mother. J. F.
