Stuart Another one of j Newark's oldest and most highly esteemed citizens, Charles W. Stuart, passed awav at his home on North Main street at 5 A. M., Sundav. September 16, 1923, at the age of 86 years. Mr. Stuart had been identified with prominent business interests in this village for over fifty years, and was regarded as one of our most substan- tial and highly esteemed citizens. He had been failing in health for the past three years and on account of his en- feehled condition and acre, his death was not a surprise to the business com- munity Charles W. Stuart was born Septem- ber 21, 1837, at WestrVulo. Greene county. N.„Y., the son of William II. Stuart and Adelaid Boardman Stuart. He spent his early boyhood at Wes- terlo, wherp he received his early school training, which was supple- mented later in the schools of Syra- cuse, to which city he moved when he was fourteen years of age. In Syracuse, he was a manufactur- ing jeweler until about 1864, when he moved to Newark and became inter- ested in the nursery business with his uncle, William Brown Smoth, of Syra- cuse. This business he shortly pur- chased and became the sole owner and continued it under the name of the Stuart Nurseries until the time of his death. In 1866, he married Caroline Em- mons, of Port Chester. N. Y. In 1881, the retail business of the Stuart Nurseries was established, the first office being in the residence of Mr. Stuart at 62 North Main stre'e. at which time James M. Pitkin joined him. Mr. Stuart took an active interest in his business, and the affairs of his town until the very last. Although suffering from an illness of long star- ing, his energy and vitality were suffi- cient to allow him to be out in his car until two days before his death. On several occasions Mr. Stuart was president 8f the village and town supervisor. Mr. Stuart was one of the most eon- genial men in the community. By na- ture, he was courteous and polite, and his winsome and quiet manner won him many friends from all the business, social and church circles of the village. He is survived by Charles H. Stuart, of Newark; Kenneth E. Stuart, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Mrs. E. V. Peirson and Mrs. George C. Perkins, both of Newark; another daughter, Sarah Stuart Wright, died February 27, 1909; also by six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. The funeral was held at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Newark, of which the deceased had been a life-long and faithful member, on'Tuesday afternoon at 3 e'cloek, Rev. R. R. Sloane, rector of the church, officiating. The stores of the business section were closed out of respect to Mr. Stuart during the funeral hour. 0 High School Notes Marion High School and grades are comfortably and conveniently located with the following numbers in their respective temporary homes: At Grange Hall High School stu- dents numbering 42; eighth grade, 30; at the Baptist Church, sixth and sev- enth grades, 34; at Masonic Temple, third, fourth and fifth grades, 52; at Presbyterian Church, first and second grades, 30, making a total of 189.

SAMUEL R. ieraSTRY AND BRIDE • • • ;-,,- i V •.. > ;' Pleasant Social Event Held in the Presbyterian Church Last Week Friday Evening—Music Furnished By Orchestra\—Refresh- ments Served—Organ Selections Rendered By Miss'Caster ton Committee in Charge \Holden That They Cannot See\ —Marion People Annoyed By Reckless Speeding Marion people who ..are constantly annoyed b$ the reckless speeding through Main street of a girl 15 years old, and a young man not much older, both of whom have been driving auto- mobiles for a few years, will be inter- ested to'know how the village of Fair- port handles such cases. On a recent Sunday, a Newark lawyer, with a load of youngsters, who was said to be \pushing his machine to the limit,\ to catch a car at Williamson, collided with the machine driven by the above young man, at Marion UpDer Corners, with the result that the Newark car crashed into C. Roy Curtis' house .tear- ing the clapboards, and disfiguring the lawn badly. This was during the ab- sence of the entire Curtis family and their guests, who were attending church service. Business men assert that State troopers often witness the speeding on our streets of drivers who are under age. and ignore the case; then perhaps, on the same day. arrest another, driver for some insignificant cause: The following stories appeared last week in the, Fairport papers: (From Fairport Herald) Two cases of alleged reckless auto- mobile driving came before Police Justice Haynes Monday evening. John F. Wood, of Canandaigua, arrested by Officer Main, admited that he drove too fast in West Church street and inid the usual fine of $15.00. Kenneth Burke, aged 19 years, of Palmyra, was in court on a similar charge, his offence being committed shortly before mid- night Saturday night, when the officer observed him cutti\\' civ'-s ip W-i-th Math street near the trolley station. IT\ hud several companions in the car With him and on one of his circle tours lost one of them out on the pavement, V>ut probably causing no damage to his anatomy. The young man's anctics were noticed by a number of citizens. When arraigned before, the justice. Burke pleaded guilty. He admitted that he paid a $85.00 fine for speeding to Justice Kellar in Brighton a month ago. He also imparted the informa- tion that he had been drinking wine in East Rochester about 20 minutes be- fore his Fairnort exhibition. His fine was $50, and an officer accompanied him to Palmyra to got the cash, which is now in Police Justice Haynes' hands. The young man was given a word of warning that he might pass on to his acquaintances that such 1 actions don't go in Fairport. The local officers are determined that the speed- ing and other traffic violations' shall be kept to the minimum, for the safety and protection, not only of the speeders themselves, but of everybody within their reach. (From the Monroe County Mail! Last summer the villaee of LeRov gained considerable publicity through the efforts made by its officials to pre- vent accidents caused by the fast and reckless driving of automobiles through the streets of the town. This summer the aforesaid officials were instructed to ease up in their work and as a result it appears that tourists have been\ using the streets™ps a sort of race course again. Referring to the subject the LeRoy Gazette says: \Last summer when we required motorists t o drive moderately through town, fear was expresed by some that we would lose their patronage. This season we are losing it just the same because they go through'so fast that they do not see the town.\ One of the pleasamtest.social events The musicians were Stanley Rogers^ of the season was the reception given and R.
