... Thomas Coleman [Stewart] was born April 20th, 1838, and was educated at the Kentucky Military Institute, near Frankfort. He was a very handsome and most excellent young man, a devoted son and brother. He served in the Confederate army throughout the War of the Rebellion, enlisting in the City of New Orleans when Beauregard made his call for troops, prior to the battle of Shiloh. He fought at Shiloh and was seriously wounded. After the war he engaged in steamboating on the lower Mississippi, and on September 3d, 1867, died in New Orleans of yellow fever, away from those most dear to him, but attended by the best of nurses, and surrounded by many friends. His remains were removed to Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville. ...
