STEWART - LARSEN

Harvey Davis Stewart and Mrs. Mary Larsen were married Wednesday evening at 9 o'clock in the parsonage of the Congregational church by Rev. G. A. Charnock, pastor of the church. The wedding was a quiet affair, witnessed only by relatives of the parties and the pastor's family. Mr. Stewart is a dairyman residing near this city. He was formerly connected with the Crystal Creamery in this city and made many friends while in charge of that institution. The bride is also well and favorably known in this community, where she has resided for many years. The newly married couple will reside on the groom's farm, near this city.

The 1910 U. S. Census taken May 6, 1910, shows Harvey D. Stewart (age 45) born in Pennsylvania to Pennsylvania-born parents and married once is a Farmer owning his own farm free of a mortgage and living in Woodland Twp., Yolo Co., CA. Living with him is his wife of one year, Mary S. Stewart (age 42) born in Sweden to Swedish-born parents and married twice, with all 3 of the children born to her still alive. Also living there are his two unmarried stepsons, both born in California to Swedish-born parents: Clarence Stewart (age 21) a House Carpenter; and Henry Stewart (age 14). Also living there is Clarence's unmarried sister, Clara Stewart (age 50) born in Pennsylvania to Pennsylvania-born parents, who is not working. Leigh Larson note: It shows that Mary had three children, and all were living (she really by then had five, of which three were living). Some of the Mary S. data is obviously incorrect, suggesting that someone other than Mary provided the census information, since she was from Finland, not Sweden.

The 1910 U. S. Census taken April 23, 1910, shows Michael P. Leary (age 32) born in Michigan to English Canadian-born parents, and in his first marriage, is a married Druggist of Retail Drugs, and who rents, his home, and is living at 731 North Broadway, 7th Ward, City of Seattle, King Co., WA. Living with him are: his wife of 6 years, Marion Leary (age 33), born in California to New York and Massachusetts-born parents, and in her first marriage, and with all 3 of the children born to her still alive; his daughter, Dorothy Leary (age 5), born in Washington to Michigan and California-born parents; his daughter, Grace Leary (age 4), born in Washington to Michigan and California-born parents; his daughter, Agness V. Leary (age 10/12), born in Washington to Michigan and California-born parents; his widowed mother-in-law, Harriet Forrest (age 59), born in Massachusetts to Massachusetts and England-born parents, with the only child born to her still alive; and Massachusetts; and an unmarried Servant, Edith Nelson (age 28) born in Finland to Finland-born parents, and having immigrated in 1902, a Domestic for a Private Family.

BABY HAZEL STEWART DIES FROM EFFECTS OF BURNS

Child Upsets a Crock of Boiling Water on Itself in Family Kitchen

The Third Child the Mother Has Lost by Violent Death - Two Little Sons Drowned

Mortals ban death and execrate it when it touches an unsullied bud, yet we sometimes are brought to a forceful realization of the fact that it is life, not death, that yields all the suffering, and it was as the angel of peace that Azrael entered the home of H. D. Stewart Friday evening and administered to little Hazel, the 10-months-old baby daughter, a nepenthe more merciful than a wise physician or loving, anguished parents could give. The piteous accident that has blighted a Woodland home occurred on north Cemetery avenue about 6 o'clock Friday evening. Mrs. Stewart was busy preparing supper and also had the making of jelly and yeast under way. She placed a crock of hot water, which she was to use in fixing potatoes for the evening meal, on a table, near which Baby Hazel was seated in a high chair. The little fingers instantly reached for the crock, and the mother, cognizant of the danger, pushed it beyond what she thought the limit of the baby's touch, and resumed duties in another part of the room. Soon a crash and an agonized scream broke on the mother's ear. Wheeling around she beheld the scalding water pouring over the child. The mother's cries brought the father to the house, and the little sufferer was stripped, the burnt flesh peeling off with her garments. Pending the arrival of Dr. Beebe, who was hastily summoned, household remedies were applied, but on the tender little body the wounds were too deep for applications to be of much avail. The practiced eye of the physician saw that the most that could be done was to soothe pain. Anesthetics were given in addition to lotions, but in a little more than an hour the child had dropped into a dreamless sleep to wake no more. The funeral will be held Sunday at 2 o'clock from the family residence. A few years ago another grim tragedy, taking a double toll, stalked through Mrs. Stewart's home. Her two little sons, the Larsen boys, were drowned in a pool near the Woodland race track. After their death the mother married Mr. Stewart. Hazel was the only child born of that union. The impotence of speech is felt on such an occasion as this. More eloquent than words is the dumb sympathy that finds its outlet, and all that brotherly and sisterly kindness, which is the flower of humanity, can do will be done to mitigate the grief and ease the burden of the sorrowing family.
