Notes - Duncan Stewart accompanied his father, Hugh, and his brother Joseph to Manitoba in 1879 to establish a homestead there. Duncan returned breiefly to Ontario in 1881 to marry Mary Ann Campbell. Duncan remained in Arden, Manitoba for only two years and then moved to Yorkton, Saskatchewan.
After some time they returned to Arden until after Hugh's death in 1913, afterwhich they moved to Pleasantdale, Saskatchewan. When Duncan died in 1946, his son, Duncan Jr, donated a portion of the family farm to become the cemetery where Duncan Sr was buried.
According to descendant Sharron Schaub: "Duncan's family were remembered for their hospitality: for opening their home for church meetings, picnics and parties. Duncan could step dance and play the violin." Due to a case of severe frostbite, Duncan eventually had to have his leg amputated. He took it with such good grace that he and a neighbour who also had a wooden leg created their own unique highland dance together involving tapping their wooden legs like African wood sticks.
