Research Notes:
Tragic Ending-B.H. Stewart Found Dead in Masonic Temple Building-This community was mentally stunned by the report that B.H. Stewart was found dead in the toilet room on the second floor of the Masonic Temple building a few minutes before eight o'clock this morning, with a bullet wound in his head, whether accidental or not is not known at present. Those who saw and talked with him a few minutes before say he seemed to be in his usual spirits and did not notice anything that would cause particular attention to his manner. His body was taken to the undertakers and prepared for burial at once. The deceased was born in Little York, Illinois, April 19, 1882, and was one of a large family, and had six brothers. He came here to work on the Tribune about six years ago and has worked in that office, with the exception of about nine months, until last December when he and Mr. Strunk started a job office, and last week began the publication of a paper. B.H. Stewart was high esteemed by those who knew him for his many good qualities, and his sudden death is mourned by many friends. He was married to Miss Dora Oyster June 1, 1910, and the heartfelt sympathy of everyone goes out to the young wife and his relatives in their affliction. As The Republican goes to press no arrangements have been made for the funeral. Friday 14 July 1911 Laid to rest-The funeral services of B.H. Stewart were held at his late home last Friday afternoon under the auspices of the Masonic lodge and the funeral services of the order were used. The Masonic and Knights of Pythias lodges marched from their halls to the house and many citizens also attended. A quartette, consisting of Mrs. Neal Quick, Mrs. A.M. Williams, T.F. McCarl and H.N. Rosebush sang several appropriate hymns. Four of his ten brothers came here and accompanied the body to Tingley, Iowa, for burial, where the father and the rest of the brothers attended the burial services, which were under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias. F.L. Wolff, of this city accompanied the remains to their last resting place as a representative of Masonic and Knights of Pythias lodges here. Friday 21 July 1911 [Ref: Kathleen Stewart 7/11/2010]
