MARRIAGE: In 1852, a friend, Brother Wimmer, drove up with a company of emigrants. When Levi came across to see him he said, "Brother Levi, I have brought you a wife." Levi said, "Well, that's nice," thinking little of it. Bu a few minutes later a young girl not yet twenty stepped from behind one of the wagons and was introduced to him as Margery Wilkerson. A quick friendship between Levi and Margery developed into a lifelong devotion. They were married four months later, December 1852.

DEATH: In December of that same first year, 1870, came the tragedy that was to leave its scar on the lives of this family and almost disrupt the entire settlement. The Navajo and Northern Indians had been making raids on the settlements. The young men took turns guarding the cattle at night from a smal dugout in the side of a hill. The other men took turns guarding the fort. Onc Jacob Hamblin persuaded the Navajos to come to Kanab and hold a peace conferenc as there was always tension.
On the night of December 14, the guard who was to relieve Brother Pugh as guard at one o'clock did no awaken but seemed to be overpowered with sleep. He was roused once, then twice, and even started to dress. Brother Pugh went home and to bed, thinking all was well, but in some way the guard fell back over on the bed asleep, leaving the fort unguarded. At four o'clock, fire was discovered i the Stewart section of the fort. Little Lucinda remembers how her father rushe to see what he could do-how her mother quickly threw a spread around herself an rushed over to the burning portion. Their own room was safe as it was separate from the burning part by many feet-a space left for another room which had not yet been built and which was protected only by a row of wagons drawn together. These wagons were used as sleeping quarters for some of the older children. Th kitchen roof was already ablaze so there was no hope of saving that part of the house. But in the bedroom next to it, the one on the corner, slept the boys, Margery's three, Artimacy's two, a hired man, and Levi, the youngest son of the first wife, Melinda. This room had no windows as did none of the outside rooms of the fort in order to make them impregnable to the Indians. The only exit wa through the flaming kitchen. Levi and other men, knowing that this bedroom hel stores of kerosene and powder, seized axes and started battering out the logs o the wall. They got two logs out and crawled though into the suffocating smoke-filled room. They found the beds empty and no one in the room. It was impossible to get into the blazing inferno of the kitchen. They knew that the smoking powder and kerosene might explode any minute, so they crawled back out. Levi ordered the others out and carried two kegs of powder already smoking and dumped them into the creek. Then the kerosene exploded and went up in flames.
Little did Levi realize what was happening on the other side of the kitchen. When Margery rushed out of their bedroom, she immediately took in the situation and knew that the only hope for the boys was through the kitchen. Her mother love was greater than her fears or her reasoning power, and unseen by any excep her daughter Ella, who happened to be there from Pipe Springs, she rushed into the flames. Ella tried to follow her mother but was held back by the men. Onc in the kitchen, Margery met Artimacy's boy Alonzo Lafayette and the hired man, Harvey Stout, who, blinded by the smoke, were groping around trying to find an exit. She pushed them through the door and turned to find the others. No one knows what really happened then. The explosion prevented anyone else from entering. They found the six charred bodies; the mother and three boys were found huddled in the immense fireplace as if she had been trying to lift them u the chimney. One was under the big stove, less burned than the others. They dug out the bodies and sadly buried them in one grave. Alonzo told afterward o how Levi had tried, when they found themselves trapped, to lift the sod roof of the bedroom, but it had been too firmly packed with grass and willows.
The funeral was heart-rending. Some of the neighbors tried to sing but it was no use. One after another, several brethren tried to speak but no words would come. It was the heartbroken father and husband who alone could control his emotions enough to offer his tribute to the beloved wife who had given her life to save her sons.
It is hard to imagine the heartbreak and gloom that enveloped the little settlement. Levi was crushed by the terrible tragedy, but still his valiant spirit held steadfast. When the other men said they wanted to give up the settlement-that they could not bear to live there longer-he begged them to stay and complete the mission President Young had sent them to perform. At last whe they still wavered, he said, "Well, if you must go, God be with you, but as for me, I will stay if I have to stay alone." The other men remained.
Levi never dared give way to his grief before others because he felt that as their leader he must keep up the morale of the disheartened people. Jacob Hamblin told of finding him one day way up the canyon pouring out his grief and praying for strength. His health gradually broke until five years later he begged to be released from the Bishopric.As soon as President Young heard the news of the fire, he set out in his buggy for Kanab to offer what comfort and spiritual strength he could. He had greatl admired Margery and was always free in expressing his confidence in Levi and hi admiration and friendship from him. He said, "Brother Levi, Sister Margery wen to heaven in a flame of glory." And indeed her memory has always been enshrined as a heroine in the hearts of her children and descendants.

HISTORY: Urban Van Stewart was born in Overton County, Tennessee, November 9, 1817, a son of William and Elizabeth (Van Hooser) Stewart. Urban Van Stewart arrived in Utah in September, 1847, coming by wagon train and bringing with him provisions for eighteen months as well as farm machinery. He was at the time a married man and in all acquired five wives and became the father of thirty-thre children, but while he lived in polygamy for many years after that institution was abolished and made unlawful, he was never molested by the authorities, chiefly because of his high character and upright life. His fourth wife, Ellen Adams Stewart, the mother of John Riley Stewart, was of Red Point, Northumberland, Pa., and a daughter of David Barclay and Mary (Cook) Adams, natives of Scotland, where Mr. Adams learned the trade of iron worker. Mrs. Adams died on the steamboat Mary on the Missouri River, and Mr. Adams came to Utah and followed his trade at Cedar City and Adamsville, the latter place bein named in his honor. For his second wife he married Lydia Catherine Mann, and died August 4, 1881, after which his second wife came to Wayne County. Urban Va Stewart first settled at Salt Lake City, but was later called to Parowan to hel of the community. Later he was a pioneer consecutively at Beaver, Teasdale and Grover, and in 1885, at the time of the Crusade, leaving the others in other parts of the state, where he had provided them with good homes. He was a big stockman and promoter of things worthwhile at Beaver and elsewhere, and at Beaver was an important factor in the cooperative cattle and sheep organizations. He held several priesthoods and was presiding elder for seven or eight years at Grover, where his death occurred.

B. H. Roberts, Comprehensive History of the Church, Vol.3, Ch.90, p.471 - p.472 The third expedition against Indians under the authority of the "State of Deseret" was to the northward, the Shoshones or Snakes being the cause of the alarm. The trouble arose in the month of September, 1850. As reported in the Deseret News, the treatment of the Indians by the emigrants of 1849, and later the killing of two Shoshone women by travelers, "as we are creditably informed, from Illinois," says the Deseret News article, had wrought a very marked change in the disposition of the northern Indians towards the white settlers in the Salt Lake region, than was at first manifested. They had become predatory in their action, and in the northern settlements on the Weber and Ogden rivers, ha taken to pasturing their horses in the grain fields, stealing corn and melons, running off cattle, stealing horses, etc., etc., until their actions had become insufferable. In one of the Indian night raids upon the gardens in Brownsville [i. e. Ogden], a settler of the name of Urban Van Stewart, fired upon them and killed an Indian, said to be a petty chief. The next day the Indians in retaliation killed a man of the name of Campbell, some distance from the settlement on the north bank of Ogden river, and threatened to massacre the inhabitants of Brownsville, and burn the place.
The matter was reported at Salt Lake and a detachment of the state militia was dispatched under command of Horace S. Eldredge, with instructions to "stand on the defensive." Upon this show of force and promptness of action the Shoshones moved northward, taking with them some horses and cattle belonging to the settlement. A band of Ute Indians from the south were near Brownsville and to make sure of their non-interference if a battle took place, a number of them, without resistance were taken prisoners and held as hostages for the good behavior of the band who were ordered to move south to their own lands, and hav nothing further to do with the future movements of the Shoshones--orders which they obeyed. The predatory band of Shoshones moved so far northward that fear of further hostilities no longer existed, and after about a week's absence from Salt Lake, the militia under Eldridge returned.Andrew Jenson, Church Chronology, May 30, 1897 (Sunday) At the Wayne Stake quarterly conference, held at Loa, Wayne Co., the 112th quorum of Seventy was organized by Apostle Francis M.

Seventy; high priest; presiding elder of Grover, Teasdale branch; missionary to southern Illinois, 1843; and also to the White mountains. He assisted in puttin in the crops in Clover valley. Farmer. Died Dec. 25, 1899, Grover, Utah.LDS Biographical Encyclopedia, Andrew Jenson, Vol. 3, p.526 Stewart, Urban Van, a Utah pioneer of 1847, was born Nov. 9, 1817, in Overton county, Tennessee, the son of Wm. Stewart and Elizabeth Van Hooser. When five years of age he moved with his parents to Madison county, Illinois, where he lived till 1835, when he went to Missouri, where he, as a convert to "Mormonism," was baptized July 15, 1836, by Seymour Brunson in Log Creek, near Far West, Missouri. He was married in the same place to Lydia Gage Jacobs in 1837. At this time the mob was very hostile and by the advice of the Prophet Joseph Smith [p.527] the family moved into Far West where Bro. Stewart stood guard during those troublous times. In the early spring of 1839 he moved to Quincy, Illinois, and in 1840 he located on Sugar Creek, Iowa, where his house and nearly everything he had was destroyed by fire. In the spring of 1841 he moved to Nauvoo, working much of the time on the Nauvoo Temple until 1843, when he and his brother Levi were called on a mission to southern Illinois, but were recalled shortly after on account of the death of their mother and Urban's little son Henry. He took part in the trials incident to those times in and around Nauvoo, and besides his labors on the public works he spent much time on guard duty. In 1845 he was ordained a Seventy by Daniel S. Miles and at the time of the exodus in 1846 he traveled west and located temporarily with his co-religionists at Winter Quarters on the west bank of the Missouri river. He went up the river to what was called "Brigham's Farm" and helped to put in crops, and in June, 1847, he left for Great Salt Lake Valley, where he arrived in September, 1847, bringing provisions for eighteen months, together with farming tools and other articles in one wagon. Bro. Stewart took part in the White Mountain Mission and helped to put in crops in Clover Valley, now in Nevada, which place afterwards was given up to the Indians. Bro. Stewart endured the hardships incident to the early settlement of Utah uncomplainingly and frequently subsisted on roots and whatever could be obtained to keep himself and family alive. He was one of the pioneers of Beaver, Utah, where he resided for a great many years, taking a most active part in establishing the institutions of that place. Subsequently he moved to Wayne county and became a resident of Grover, where he acted as presiding Elder and where he died Dec. 25, 1898, eighty-one years old. Bro. Stewart had five families and was the father of thirty-three children, twenty-four of whom survived him. At the time of his demise he also had seventy-four grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren and a number of great-great-grandchildren. By his first wife, Lydia Gates Jacobs, he had three children, namely, Edna, Henry and Urban Jacobs. By his second wife, Elizabeth Luck, whom he married May 21, 1854, he became the father of six children, namely, Van, Levi, Elizabeth, Rosanna E., Sarah V. and Eunice A. By his third wife, Mary Ann Jones (daughter of William E. and Mary Jones), whom he married March 11, 1860, he became the father of ten children, namely, Mary Jane, Liza Ann, Martha Ellen, William Urban, Daniel Jones, Margaret Caroline, Robert Charles, George Heber, Lewis Jenkins and Clara Bell. By his fourth wife, Ellen Adams (daughter of David R. Adams and Mary Cook), to whom he was married July 14, 1865, he became the father of ten children, namely, Mary Ellen, David James, Urban Van, John Riley, Lydia Catherine, Andrew Adams, Rosa May, Levi, Effie Elizabeth and Walter Ernest. By his fifth wife, Keziah Jones (daughter of William and Mary Jones), whom he married July 16, 1855, he became the father of three children, namely, Margaret, Edward and Susan. Bro. Stewart and his wife Elizabeth Luck also adopted one child, a boy, named Joseph Stewart. Bro. Stewart was a man of stirling qualities, a strict observer of the Word of Wisdom and a faithful Latter-day Saint.

BIRTH: PLAC Red Point, Northcumberland Co., PA
OCCU: Loa, UT
NOTES: As of 7 Apr 1998, I can not prove that Emily Catherine Stewart was the daughter of William Stewart and Rebecca Llewellyn. The Stewart's and Howards lived next to each other throughout Ill and Iowa. Thus when a marriage record of Lee Co., Iowa showed a Stewart and Howard married, I have assumed Emily Catherine was William and Rebecca's daughter. Her age also agrees with the age of the 1836 and 1840 Iowa Census. Researcher: Georgenia Stewart
