cause of death was
stomach. He was about (J
of ago, a native of Scotland
married. He had no relatives i»\
this country so far as is known.
William Stewart was one of t'ae
real trail blazers of the country, a
prospector and miner of the old
lype. In the t-;.rly '80s he went
to Juneau in the company of Dick
Harris and Joe Juneau. In 1885
he was rocking the bars of Stewart
• iver, which stream ,was named in
his honor. In 18S6 he was at Forty
Mile and was one of the discoverers
on Franklin Gulch ofthat stream.
He came out as far as Juneau after
several years in the interior, but
was again caught in the Klondike
excitement and went to Dawson in
1897. Two years later he was
agc.in following the stampede to
Nome, arriving there in the fall
of '99. in 1912, by invitation °f
hig old partner, Howard Hamilton,
he went outsido to make his home,
'but the irresistible call of the
north caught him at Seattle and
he again tame to Juneau.
All of the oldtimers jn the
north speak in the highest praise of
the deceased. The little cabin whicJ
he built for his Juneau home in
the early days is Still standing
and Is located back of the Koski
boarding house, at Fourth and
Franklin streets. It was built I"
the estriy-elghites.
The dead man entered the Sitka
Pioneers' home less than a year
ago.
