Annie Eliza Stewart, the third child of William B.t and Mary M. Stewart, was born in Allegheny, Pa., March 27, lP41,and died at Brookville, Pa., June 11, 1902. In early girlhood she was a frequent visitor at her grandfather Laird's country home in Locust Dale, Pa., and there many of her tastes were formed, especially her love for nature and her interest in religion. Growing up she was educated at Blairsville Seminary ; and afterwards, by reading and study, she kept in touch with the best thought and literature of the day. It pleased God to send her much affliction, but this seemed only to deepen and broaden her best qualities.
" She possessed some characteristics seldom seen united," says her double cousin, F. L. Stewart, " for with all the quick sympathies and active imagination of a highly sensitive nature, there was combined in her matured convictions about practical affairs and a well-balanced judgment in emergencies, singularly helpful to herself and others. Along with the appreciation and the love of all beautiful things, she had also keenness of vision, the color sense, and deftness of hand. This equipment made her an artist, and she left behind her a series of bird and flower portraitures, many of which in point of accuracy and exquisite finish are not excelled by some of the best work of those who have made the illustration of our natural history a specialty. Almost every one of these drawings, too, is recognized by her friends as a souvenir of some happy moment when pain and weariness were thus.kept at bay."
Though her life was outwardly an uneventful one, it was filled with many little deeds and words which cheered and benefited those who were associated with her, especially in her own home circle; and when she died they had full assurance of her passing into the grander life of heaven. One who knew her well is said to have thus written:
" Beyond the limits of our mortal vision
We long to follow where thy spirit led.
Into Christ's arms with love and faith we gave thee.
Crowned with that' life we cannot call thee dead."
