Notes for Cleo Coral Stewart
In March 1990 Cleo wrote:329 "The Stewarts came from McNairy county Tennessee. My grandfather was William Shepard Stewart, married Susan Springer. I don't know when most of them came to Texas, but I think that my father was about 21 years old. Anyhow, Shepard Stewart had a sister, Malissa, who had a son, Taylor Goforth. Don't have the details but most of the family settled in a community named Goforth out from Buda in Hays county Texas. Incidentally, my father, at one time worked for Taylor Goforth who had a truck line (wagons & mules). Daddy loaded up at Goforth in the morning, drove to Austin, unloaded his wares, spent the night at a wagon yard on South Congress Ave., loaded up and back to Goforth. Some of Taylor Goforth's family moved to this area. A granddaughter married a Bell boy and lived way out from Dilley. It was she who hosted a Goforth-Stewart reunion (bar-b-que) at her home sometime between 1936-38. There were four Stewart brothers who came to Dilley around 1906 - Ira, Henry, Robert and Frank. Ira died in 1912; the others had rather long lives. The five elderly people in the front row of the photograph (NOTE: the photograph is not available) were Uncle Henry, my father, Aunt Sarah (sister) and Uncle Frank Smith of Buda and Uncle Frank Stewart. The boy by Uncle Henry is Roy Newman Jr. (Ira's grandson). By Uncle Frank were Dotsy Newman, Linda Gill. The tall dark haired boy at left on second row was W R Weathersby. Behind Daddy was Tate, Lex's first wife. Behind Lex was Dee Stewart. I don't think that May or Stella were there."
