Obituary for Mary (McKee) Stewart [I00269]. Other evidence suggests Mary was born at Turtle Creek, and although she lived many years in Buffington Township, she was not born there and therefore she was not a "native" in that sense. This obituary mentions a son killed in action. That was Russell Thomas Stewart.
