Stewart, from near Blyth, who goes to Spokane Falls, Washington Territory, on a visit to her son David, who left here some eight years ago for that place, where he has been financi- ally successful. Mrs Stewart is the mother of eleven children—eight boys and three girls; of these seven boys and two daughters are living; four sons and one daughter living in De- troit; one in Toronto, one in the west, and one small boy home.
