Would anyone know where to look for the death record & burial place of
John B. Stewart?
John was born at Jersey Shore, Lycoming Co., PA ca 1815 to parents
Charles Stewart & Mary McCormick.. Family tradition says that he married
a Jane --- ? and moved to the "far west". They may have had one
daughter named "Jane" and perhaps other children. I cannot find them in
the 1860 or 1870 censuses. All the information I have is from the
following 2 sources - an obituary and a voter's registration.
1) John B. Stewart death notice (1870), (Lycoming Gazette & Bulletin,
Williamsport, Pennsylvania, 2 Sep 1870), p. 4, ("Of heart disease, at
the Union Railroad station, Nevada, on the 23d of June, 1870, John B.
Stewart, aged 55 years. Mr. Stewart was a son of Charles Stewart, Esq.,
late of Lycoming county, deceased; he moved to the far west several
years since, and was actively engaged in business at the time of his
death.")
.
2) Voters Registration (1866), Gold Hill, Nevada, (Territorial
Enterprise, (Virginia City, Nevada), 1866-67 Newspaper Database,
Ancestry.com), "Electronic," (Stewart, John B., event date, 10/20/1866,
Registered Voters - Gold Hill, Nv., newspaper, 10/25/1866).
Many thanks for any help in this request.
