Frank Dwight Stewart was born at North Loup, Neb., on October 20, 1888, and died at Huntington, Ore., Feb 7 (sic), 1920 at the age of 31 years, 3 months and 18 days. On January 8, 1912, at Cheyenne, Wyo., he was married to Mrs. Amy McAlpin.

Relatives and friends of Frank D. Stewart, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Stewart of 404 East Fourth street, were greatly shocked to learn of his sudden death at Huntington, Ore., on Sunday, Feb. 8, from pneumonia following influenza. Mr. Stewart resided here for many years and has many friends in the city who will be pained to learn of his demise. While a resident of Grand Island he was employed by the Pacific Fruit Express. At the beginning of the war, being unable to enter military service, he went to Portland, Ore., and entered the shipyards, where he did his bit by helping to construct some of the large ships put afloat during the war. At the close of the war he went to Huntington, Ore., and re-entered the employ of the Pacific Fruit Express. He was a member in high standing of the Woodmen of the World.

Besides his wife, he is survived by a small daughter, his parents, four brothers and three sisters. The remains will be brought to this city for burial and announcement of the funeral will be made later. The sympathy of a host of friends is extended to the family in their bereavement.
