After an illness of over five years, George L. Stewart died last
night at the family residence at 430 North Genesee street of
nephritis.
At his bedside were his devoted wife, who has been his self
sacrificing nurse for years, his daughter, Mrs. Gray of the west,
and brothers.
The death was not due to a fresh stroke but rather to a gradual
wearing out, like the burning of a candle which reaches its end
only to have the flame expire.
The funeral will be held at 11 tomorrow morning, interment taking
place at Millburn, services being held at the house.
George L. Stewart was born at Millburn, Ill., May 3, 1843, lived
at Millburn until 10 years of age; moved with his father's family
to Lockport Ill., in 1853. After living there two years he moved
back to the old home at Millburn. At the age of 19 he enlisted in
Company C, 96th Illinois volunteers and was promoted to the office
of corporal October 16 of the same year, but soon had an attack of
periostitis and was in the hospital five months at Camp Denison,
Ohio. At one time a council of physicians had about determined to
amputate both feet but decided he was too low to undergo the
operation. He was discharged from the hospital for disability
March 11, 1863, and for many months walked but little, but he
evidently overcame the difficulty. He was married in 1865 to Miss
Lydia B. Dearborn of Millburn and had one child, Florence D.
Mr. Stewart farmed until 1873, then engaged in mercantile business
at Millburn for several years, afterward became a commercial
traveler for a wholesale firm in Chicago until 1887. Moving with
his family to Waukegan a few years later he accepted a position in
the subtreasury office in Chicago, following that occupation until
his wife died in 1893, when he resigned the position in the
treasury department and took up the work of insurance in Waukegan
in 1897. He was married to Miss Alice White of Millburn.
Five years later, while presiding at the sixtieth anniversary of
the church at Millburn, he suffered a paralytic shock, and during
the five years that he remained partially paralyzed and he was
comparatively comfortable, suffering but little except from the
inconvenience that all must suffer who have similar attacks.
For the last two years Mr. Stewart was troubled with nephritis, which became malignant, confining him to bed for one week prior to death, which occurred December 26, 1907.
