Morris - Phoebe Stewart
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 4 September 1896
Phoebe T. Morris was born in Dearborn County, Indiana, Dec. 7, 1825, and came to this county with her parents in 1832. She was married to William H. Stewart, Nov. 21, 1847, and died August 25, 1896, aged 71 years, seven months and eighteen days. She was baptized into the Baptist Church by Rev. Wm H. Darnell, Oct. 21, 1860, and united with the Christian Church at New Ross on Nov. 8, 1888. Three children were born to them, Hannah, James, and Lyda. The latter died Nov. 14, 1878. Phoebe Stewart was a consistent Christian in every sense of the word, always kind and ready to give a kind word and a smile to everyone that came in contact with her, and labored hard to make everyone feel pleasant in her home. While it is hard to give her up we are glad we can say we mourn not as those who have no hope. -s
