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]
