Leslie R. Stewart Dies

By CAROL DuBRIN

This past week Leslie Stewart,
area farmer and retired General
Electric Company refrigeration
foreman, died in the Guilderland
Center Nursing Home. He was 88.
Les was born in Rensselaerville.

In 1913 his father became a
sharecrop farmer on a rented
Settles Hill farm. The elder
Stewart purchased the farm In
1917.

The same year Les, one of nine
children, graduated from the State
University College at Canton (St. Lawrence Co.,), '''Following graduation he served in the Army during
World War I.''' In 1920 he married
the former Greta Cordell and
brought her home to the farm,
which the couple bought in 1922.
They lived their entire married
life there.

Les found that dairy farming
didn't provide well enough to bring
up his family and just before the
depression hit he got a job with
G.E. in Schenectady. "That's what
got us through the lean years,"
Greta would say.

Sons John C. (Jack) and Robert
E. (Bob)) grew up there on the
family farm helping create the
"old swimming hole," dredging it
out with a team of horses and
planting the seedling pines that
now form a woodland sanctuary
around it. That was Greta's joy.
Usually sharing the house with
hired hands, Les created a little
summer cottage for himself and
Greta to escape to. He collected
stone from the fields for a fireplace
and naturally bent tree limbs to
shape a bedstead.

Les Stewart was very honest, a
man of strong beliefs and will, a
man concerned for his country, his
community, his church, family and
friends. He was always generous to
his friends bringing plants,
flowers, farm produce to share. He
always had cut flowers for Greta in
the house summers. At his moving
funeral service "In the Garden"
was sung—an especially appropriate hymn for Les. Many have
wonderful memories of Easter
dawn services on the farm
overlooking Altamont and the
Helderbergs.

A veteran of World War I he was
ever the patriot, fighting strongly

for what he believed was best. He
pushed for centralization of the
schools serving on the consolidation committee and worked for
paving of rural roads. He sang in
the Altamont Reformed Church
choir .(he had a lovely tenor voice)
and was an active member of that
church for over 50 years, serving
on many committees, as deacon
and elder and helping out whereever possible: (How many turkeys
did he slice for the church
restaurant at the Altamont Fair?)

Les was a member of the Noah
Lodge of Masons, Altamont and
Boyd Hilton American Legion
Post.

Survivors include a son; Robert
of Menlo Park, California; a
brother Kenneth Stewart of Maple
Crest (Greene Co.); a sister,
Zilpha Gifford of Valatie; seven
grandchildren and 12 great-grand-
children.

Services were held in. the
Altamont Reformed Church with
burial in Park Cemetery, Scotia.
Rev. Robert Lindens conducted the
services. Jean Van Syckle, music
director, assisted. "In the Garden," a duet by longtime choir
members Dr. Milford Becker and
Herbert Schaible, was their special
memorial. Arrangements were
made by the Fredendall Funeral1
Home. Memorial contributions
may be made to the Altamont
Rescue Squad.
