__________
Mrs. Elizabeth Vawter, widow of John G. Vawter, and mother of Mrs. Myron E. Barnes, died at 8:30 this morning, after an illness of eight weeks, at her home, 504 North First street.
Elizabeth Stewart was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, May 31, 1824, and was baptized in St. John Episcopal church in her native city. Her father's family came to America in 1832, and settled in Galt, Canada. The voyage was made across the Atlantic in five weeks. The daughter was one of a party of twenty-nine relatives who came together to the new world. The family lived in the wilds of Canada five years and then removed to Marengo, Ill.
Miss Stewart lived in Marengo until 1850, when she was untied in marriage to John G. Vawter, of Kentucky. Mr. and Mrs. Vawter removed from Marenbo to Winterset, Iowa. In 1860 they traveled across the plains from Winterset to Denver, Colo., where the only surviving daughter, Mrs. Myron E. Barnes, was born. Mrs. Vawter returned to Marengo in 1865, and made that city her home seventeen years. She came to Rockford in 1882 and took up her residence at 504 North First street.
Mrs. Vawter was the mother of seven children, three of whom died in infancy. There are three surviving sons: Cornelius L., of Tanana, Alaska; John G., of Mobridge, S. Dak., and Benjamin S. of San Francisco.
