General Notes: Husband - Lt.-Com. William F. Stewart, U.S.N.

---

He was lost on the U. S. S. "Oneida," on the 24th of January, 1870, being at the time executive officer of the ship, and a promising officer in the service, so pronounced in letters of condolence after his death by all of the officers under whom he had served. His last words on being urged to take the boat as the ship was going down were, "No! let others take the boat, my duty is on board my ship," and he went down with her.
