One by one the old time residents of Indian river are passing to the great beyond. Bethel J. Stewart, of Bovine, near Eau Gallie, died Sunday night from pneumonia, in his 54th year, leaving a wife and six children. The preceding Monday he walked from his home out in the woods some ten miles to secure his horse. When he found the animal he was taken ill. He succeeded in mounting, and tied himself to the horse’s body in order to be sure of reaching home, and the animal carried him there. When he was taken off his horse he was insensible. Under treatment he improved a little, so as to be able to walk about the house some, but his death came suddenly on the day above stated. Deceased came to Indian river in 1868. Out of a family of five brothers who came here from Hamilton county, only two are now living, Dr. A. A. Stewart, of Titusville, and R. B. Stewart, of Brantley. A good man, kind and gentle to everyone, and the same as a brother with all men, peaceful and upright, honest and straightforward as the day is long, has gone to his better reward. May that peace which passeth all understanding be with him. The funeral and burial were at Eau Gallie cemetery Monday. His brothers were present, as well as numerous relatives.
