1829 - 1908  (79 years)

• Name	John Stewart
  Birth	1829	Kincardine-by-Doune, Perthshire, Scotland
  Gender	Male
  Immigration-Witness	Abt 1830	Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada
  	from Sterlingshire
  	Role: Witness From the Renfrew book - The next settler was James Stewart, who came from Sterlingshire direct to this section. He picked out 100 acres on the 1st concession, where the John McRae mill was at one tiem, and where the John Farquharson farm now is. He was the father of Alexander and John or Horton, Donald of Renfrew, Robert of Bromley, James of Pembroke, and of Mrs. Reid of Grattan; of Mrs Ward and Mrs Eady of Renfrew; and of Mrs McVean of Pembroke. When Mr and Mrs Stewart arrived in Renfrew only two of the family had been born, Alex and John. The rest were Canadian born. The family slept their first night in Renfrew in the Airth home. This was about the year 1830. Of the members of the family of the pioneer James Stewart of the second line of Horton who became helpful workers in our midst, Mrs. Geo. Eady and Mrs. James Ward have been already mentioned. John Stewart, who succeeded his father in the old homestead, was with us for a time in his early days when he learned the trade of shoemaking with Wm. Dickson. He became better known to us later on, when he and his like-minded wife became noted for their hospitality and for their abundant kindness to the needy and distressed. Now that she who so lovingly aided him in all these acts of kindness has been called away, he has become a frequent visitor and is so deeply interested in the charitable work and so deeply interested in the charitable work of our town, that he is counted as one of the good helpers on whom we can always rely. True hearted and open handed friend that he is, he is loved by many and respected by all who know him.
