Mr. Stewart, who was born at Allora 55 years ago, had been licensee of the Globe Hotel, Toowoomba, for some years. He was the son of pioneer residents of the Allora district. He enlisted with the Allora contingent, and served throughout the Boer War. He married Miss Henrietta Williams, of Killarney, and went to Toowoomba some years ago. He first went into the Union Hotel in Ruthven Street, afterwards the Freemason's Hotel, then the Empire Hotel in Toowoomba, and finally the Globe Hotel. He is survived by his widow, three sisters, and four brothers.
