Obituary (Regina Saskatchewan newspaper, 13 March 1926)
"Alex Stewart, Resident Here 20 Years, Dead
Had Lived in Canada 80 Years and Saskatchewan For 20 Years
Alexander W. Stewart, 84 years, one of the real old-timers of both Eastern and Western Canada, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ashton Burgess, Crescent Annex, Regina, Friday.
The funeral will be held 2 o'clock, Monday afternoon from Speers' funeral parlors to Regina cemetery, Rev. S. Farley officiating.
Mr. Stewart is survived by one son, O. W. Stewart, Regina, and three daughters, Mrs. Ashton Burgess, Regina; Mrs. Johnson, Winnipeg, and Mrs. Robards, Miami, Florida. His wife pre-deceased him about 30 years ago.
He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, but came to Canada with his parents when he was two years of age. The family settled at Fergus, Ontario. Mr. Stewart farmed in Kincardine, Ont., and resided in Guelph, Ont., for a time. He came west in 1882, taking up land near Pilot Mound, Man., but later he returned, to Ontario. He caught the western fever a second time about 20 years ago and came to Regina. He was associated with the American Abell Threshing Machine Company for a few years, under the management of L. T. McDonald. He retired about 15 years ago and has lived with his daughter in the city since that time." [Photocopy is cut off here.
