An update re: John M. Steward diary. I "obtained" it from my great aunt Arminta
Steward (1886-1974). Many years later, since I was then living in Calif., I sent enlarged
copies of the diary pages to Arlene Goodwin (DeKalb Co.IN Web Gen project), who
transcribed them (an arduous task I am sure) and posted the diary online. A few year ago,
on a trip "back home" I turned the diary over to the DeKalb Co. Historical
Society, located in Butler, IN. John M. Steward is buried in White City Cemetery (west
side), just south of Spencerville, IN.
At the time I obtained the diary, I also acquired a number of photos. I am able to
identify only a few of the people in the photos. While I am not certain, I would guess
that the pictures may include Steward, Tarney, or Barr ancestors.
A few of the pictures (tintype or ?) are probably in the 1860-1880s. I'm not sure how
to proceed, but I'd like to share the photos in hopes that someone may have a clue as
to who the individuals.
I too would be interested in knowing who James P. Steward's parents were.
