• Notes

  Aged Lady's Death Mrs Elizabeth Stewart, of Fillmore Passed away Tuesday The venerable mother of George Stewart of Wykoff, passed away at the home of her son. W.J. Stewart of Fillmore, Tuesday morning, Jan 15 at 10:30. The deceased had not enjoyed good health for years and her death was due to the simple wearing out of the vital organs. Elizabeth Farrel was born in Ireland almost 83 years ago as she was 82 year and nine months of age at the time of her death. She came to America with her parents when about 14 years of age, locating in Philadelphia. When about 18 old she was united in marriage to William Stewart. Shortly after their marriage Mr and Mrs Stewart came west, locating for a time at Galena, Ill from there they removed to Colsberg, Iowa where they resided for 10 year; until 1856 when they came to Minnesota locating on a farm 1 ½ miles East of Fillmore Village. Mrs Stewart was the mother of 12 children besides one adopted son. The husband crossed the dark river several years ago and laid to rest. Those living are W J Stewart of Fillmore, George Stewart, of Wycoff, Alex Stewart, of Minneapolis, Mrs. Mary Schriner of Madison S.D. , Mrs Rebecca Durfey, Wife of D W Durfey of Fountain Township and the adopted son Charles Stewart of Saxton N. D. The Funeral services were held at the M. E Church in Fillmore today, (Thursday) at 1 o'clock PM, . Reveran Healy, the Pastor officiating. The remains were laid to rest beside those of her husband & Children in the Fillmore Cemetery. Coming to Minnesota as she did in the Pioneer days , the deceased had a larger circle of acquaintances who will remember with the kindliest of feeling and respect and they join the Messenger in extending sympathy to the bereaved relatives. Birthplace of Coagh (Coke) is split between County Derry and County Tyrone. According to Sheila Morgan, the family bible says County Tyrone. I am not using the name Hannah, which I believe was a result of an error in memory by Sheila Morgan's source, confusing Elizabeth Farrell with a sister-in-law. See my additional notes.
