Alex Stewart, Mosier Pioneer, Dead
Alex Stewart, for many years the only merchant of Mosier, where he was a pioneer, died Sunday, July 20 at Portland, where he had resided the past several years. Although it had been known here that Mr. Stewart had been in poor health for many years, no one had heard of his recent illness, and news of his death brought a shock.
Mr. Stewart was not only prominent in business circles of the neighboring fruit community but was a leading figure in politics for many years. He was a frequent visitor here, coming to the city on business and to attend regularly the Masonic lodge, of which he was a member. The following obituary notice was received from Miss Nora Hunter, the Glacier's Mosier correspondent.
Funeral services for Alex Stewart were held at the graveside in the I. O. O. F. cemetery under the auspices of the Odd Fellows lodge Tuesday morning of last week, upon the arrival of the local train from Portland, where Mr. Stewart died early Sunday morning after an illness of four weeks from heart trouble with which he has suffered greatly for the past several years. He was a charter member of both the Subordinate and Rebekah lodges, I. O. O. F, of Mosier, being one of the older residents of this community.
For a number of years Mr. Stewart conducted one of the principal stores. He was also postmaster for a long time, and was always ready to assist in advancing the interests of the community. Mr. Stewart came to Mosier in the early '90s living here until about six years ago, when he and Mrs. Stewart moved to Portland where they have since resided. He was well known in Hood River also. He was a member of the Masonic lodge, of that city, and held in high esteem.
Many beautiful flowers were in evidence from the lodges in Mosier and from old time neighbors and friends. Everyone who could do so attended the services. Mr. Stewart, who was 63 years of age, leaves his wife, Mrs. Rachel Stewart, and the following stepchildren: Ira Rowland, of Washougal; W. L. Rowland, of Mosier, and Mrs. Myra Wellberg, of Palmer Junction, Ore., besides a host of friends who are grieved at his passing.
