| Notes |
- We are paying a special tribute to our eldest brother, Walker Duncan Ste w art, who was only here on this earth for fourteen years. He left to g o t o the Celestial Kingdom to prepare a place for our family.
Walker was born 21 May 1918. at Hinckley, Millard, Utah. Delna was 4 ye a rs old and Norma was 3 years old. He was blessed and named at churc h o n 27 June 1918, by his father, George Lyle Stewart. He was such a bea utif ul baby with black hair and big blue eyes. He was a very obedient c hil d who brought much happiness to his parents and sisters. When he ha d hi s 8th birthday he was baptized 5 June 1926, by Robert E. Robinson, S r, an d confirmed by his father, George L. Stewart.
He was a very hard working child, started elementary school at age 6 yr s . and received such good grades. Graduated from the 8th grade 5 May 19 35 .
Walker was so thrilled to receive the Aaronic Priesthood and be ordain e d a Deacon by his father, George L. Stewart, 9 Nov 1930. He entered t h e 9th grade in high school in September and was having so much fun. I n t he fall he came home late one day and ran down to the farm to get th e cow s to herd them home to be milked. It was really cold and he ha d a hard t ime getting them all together, he caught cold and it develope d into pneum onia in his lungs. The doctors were called and they put hi m in bed and p ut him on oxygen. He continued to get worse, and there wa s no penicilli n or drugs to fight pneumonia in those days. He was kep t on oxygen for t wo weeks. He was burned up with fever which stayed a t 106 degrees for t he two weeks. Finally the decision had to be made . The oxygen had to b e turned off, which was the only thing that was ke eping him alive. His l ungs were burnt up, so we gave our consent to th e doctor to turn off th e oxygen. Oh, our great sorrow. We are all brok en hearted. He died 2 9 Nov 1932 at age 14 years.
Walker had such a beautiful, clear, pretty singing voice and sang li k e a nightingale. One of the days just before he died, he sat up in be d a nd sang "Moonlight and Roses". It was so beautiful that Mom and Da d coul d never hear this song again without crying. Another son, who wa s the fo urth son, was born much like Walker. They named him Duane Walke r Stewar t after his brother.
Mom and Dad always said that Duane had come to take the place of Walke r s o that he could leave and advance in another kingdom. We are gratefu l t o our Father in Heaven for our Elder brother, Walker.
