I am looking for John Stewart.
The family rumor is that he was from Washington, and was disowned by his family who owned a shipping firm.
He was supposedly wealthy. He was the second husband of my great grandmother. Her name was Anna Peterson before she married John Stewart.
I know that Anna Peterson was living in Minneapolis in 1900 with her daughter Josephine according to the 1900 census.
John Stewart died May 3, 1909 in Minneapolis, MN.
His death record states that he was born in Scotland in January 1, 1863.
However, the only information I can find is a John Stewart, born in Scotland, who came to America with his family and settled in Iowa. He eventually ended up in Minneapolis.
His obituary states that he was a member of the Mistletoe Lodge #17 U.A.O.D.
He is buried in Crystal Lake Cemetery.
