• Notes

  The Scotsman - Monday 29 January 1917 Stewart - At Laggan, Strathyre, on the 25th January. Helen McKay, widow of John Stewart, farmer. Funeral to Dundurn Chapel, St. Fillans, on Monday, leaving at 9:30 arriving Strathyre 10:30 and St. Fillans after 1. Friends please accept this intimation and invitation. She was residing with James Stewart in Laggan who was described as her "next of kin." Obituary: STRATHYRE - 1917 - THE LATE MRS. STEWART LAGGAN - There passed away peacefully at Laggan, Strathyre, on 25th Jan., Mrs. Helen Stewart, widow of Mr. John Stewart, farmer, Laggan. She had been ailing for some time, but was thought to be improving, when she had a relapse, and passed away at the age of 59. Mrs Stewart was a lady of most estimable character - kind to the poor, and respected by all classess. She was a native of Inverness-shire and is survived by a family of three sons and two daughters. The eldest son is Mr. John Stewart, (my father) solicitor, Dunblane, who is Clerk to the District Committee of the Western Division of the County Council, and who holds a number of other public offices. The funeral, which was largely attended took place on Monday to the family burying-ground at Dundurn Chapel, St Fillans, where as a scion of the Stewart of Ardvorlich, they have the right to bury inside the chapel. As the place, however, is rather overcrowded, Mrs. Stewart’s remains were interred immediately outside the chapel. The funeral service at the house was conducted by the Rev. David Cameron, B.D., and at the grave by the Rev. Mr. Scott, Dundurn, and the Rev. Mr. Cameron, Balquidder.
