Helen J. Stewart
1854 - 1926
Interred at Eden Vale Cemetery
Las Vegas, NV
Helen J. Stewart was originally buried
in the family plot located on her ranch, the location
referred to in her obituary. In 1970, a local mortuary, Bunker
Bros. purchased that land
and agreed to reinter the bodies buried in the family plot in the
new cemetery, Eden Vale,
which at one time was also a part of the Stewart Ranch. Helen J.
Stewart is entombed in
the mausoleum in Eden Vale with her first husband, Archibald
Stewart, Sr. (d 1884). Also
interred in the mausoleum are her sons, Archibald, Jr. (d 1899),
Hiram (d 1902)
and William,(d 1931).
