Biography

Isaac Stewart was born about 1852 in Prince Edward Island. He was a highly-respected farmer in Murray Harbour South, PEI. Isaac died on May 19, 1936 in Montague, PEI. From his obituary:

The deceased had been in a condition of failing health for some six months or more so that the coming of the end was not unexpected. His whole system seemed to be breaking down at once. His strength gradually waned until on the above mentioned date his gentle spirit winged its homeward flight.

His obituary lists his surviving children: Mr. Thomas Stewart, Providence, R.I.; Mr. John Stewart, Murray Harbour South; Mr. George Stewart, Murray Harbour South; Mrs. Elliot Roberts, Oxford, N.S.; Mrs. Preston Prowse, Montague; and Mrs. F. C. Bennett, Murray River. Another son, Isaac Stewart of Murray River died about 1934 and a daughter, Mrs. James MacNeill of Beaver Point died about 1932.
