Earnest Stewart Dead.

Ernest Stewart, the popular young barber who worked for several years in Rensselaer died Sunday at the home of his adopted parents H. A. Stewart and wife, at Broofcston, and the funeral occurred there Tuesday morning. Ernest was a fine young man and had many warm friends in Rensselaer. He had been failing for some years with consumption and had made two trips to the west to try to forestall the disease but with out effect. His original name was Kellogg, and he was adopted when quite young by the Stewart family, who had wanted him to remain at home witn them but he preferred earning his own way and remained but little at Brookston.
