Stevart, beloved wife of Peter Stewart, Esq., and daughter of the late Thomas Clow, Esq., Murray Harbor, but a native |

Mrs. Stewart was born November 26, 1830 ; was married August 4, 1854, and, on} August 4, 1887, was quie tly laid to rest at
Lower Montague, to await ‘ the voice of the Archangel and the trumpet of God.”
