Interesting find for Henry Stewart

Legg inn av dave » 17 apr 2005 10:46:57

Hello all,
I don't usually frequent Genealogy news groups but after
visiting the Castlemaine (Victoria Australia) cemetery (there to visit my
wife's grandparents graves). I came across a very interesting head stone
that may be of use to someone doing some research on the Stewart family. I
had a quick search through Google but didn't come across anyone specifically
asking but thought that if I at least make a post someone may be able to
find this in a future archive.

The headstone reads;
"HENRY . STEWART.61.E
DIED
9.NOV.1881
AGED. 105.
OLD.SOLDIER.SERVED
THROUG. PENINSULAR
WAR + AT. THE. BATTLE
OF. WATERLOO "

Can't help but wonder what sort of life this fellow must have had.

Regards
Dave.

P.S. remove SB from email addy.
