Alfie Trickel-Stewart Hollingsworth

Alfie Stewart was an orphan child raised by Ann Maria Carson as her own and was known as Alfie Hollingsworth by everyone. His name is listed in my grandmother's address book as Alfie Hollingsworth. From Ann Maria Carson's obituary:

Ann Maria Carson was born near Thurso, Que. June 20, 1832 to Henry Lee Hollingsworth, and died Sept. 14, 1898. There were eleven children born to them, all of whom survive her. Besides bring up her own large family she took to her heart and home a little orphan boy, Alfie Stewart – whom we all know as Alfie Hollingsworth – and brought him up with the same care and motherly love that she did her own children. At the age of fourteen she united with the Episcopal Church of which she lived a constant member till she died; her last words being “I am going home”.

The funeral services were held in the M. R. Church at Meckling, S. Dak. Sept 15, 1898, conducted by Rev. N. C. Cleworth, after which the remains were taken for internment back to Buckingham, Canada in charge of her youngest son James, who will remain there to attend McGill College. Grandma Hollingsworth leaves a host of friends here to mourn her loss for all who knew and loved her.
