over tbe family records of the tribe of
Stewart, and If I do lay It myself it la
ratber a remarkable one. Father waa
a native of County Down, Ireland, and
waa born In October, 1802. My mother
wat a native of cutler, Maine, and waa
born In 1808. FaiPjk- and mother were
married May 8; n?3, and were the
parents of fourteen children, all of
whom grew to man and womanhood,
married and were tho parent! of cbll
dren. Tbore aro olevenof ut yet alive,
tho youngeat of whom it nearly fifty
yeara of age. Mothor died in 1883, and
for over ten yeara before hor death
tlioro wore flvo gonoratlona of the tribe
of Stewart living. In 1830 the family
came to Iowa, and it wat there tboy
went Into tho buainoaa of fruit
raising. The combined ages of the
eluvon children surviving make i
total of 702 yeara and six months, rang
Ing from acvonty-flve yeara and four
months to fortv-nlne yeara and six
months. I have boon trying to organite
a reunion of tbe family before tbo circle
is furthor broken, but am not certain
that I will succeed."
