She was my great-great grandmother Sarah Eva Talley Bruce's step-daughter. Such a short sad life, she died at the age of twenty-six of double pneumonia. When she was only nineteen years old her first husband Will Jackson died in 1913 in an accident in the railroad yards in Chester, IL leaving her with one son Ray who was born the same year. On 17 Sep 1918 she married Charles Robert Stewart of Mt. Vernon, a widower with four children. She had one child with Charles Stewart, a son Charles Edwin Stewart born in 1920. She had one full sister Opal Bruce Ward and four half-sisters, Fern, Wade, Nina and Edna Bruce. She is buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Mt. Vernon.
