Artemacy Stewart

Artemacy (Wilkerson) Stewart was the daughter of Thomas Wilkerson and Eliza Followell.

She married William Horace Casaday, 15 March 1850, Adams County, Illinois. She divorced William after he abandoned her for the gold fields of California.

Son - William Jackson Casaday

On 31 December 1854, she married Levi Stewart who was also married to her sister, Margery Wilkerson.

Children - Sarah Lucretia Stewart, Urban Van Stewart, Alonzo Lafayette Stewart, Mary Artemacy Stewart, Seymore Alexander Stewart, Brigham Freeman Stewart, David Brinton Stewart Sr., Ellen Lenora Stewart, Benjamin Levi Stewart, Ethel Stewart

She bore eleven children but only five reached maturity. William Jackson Casaday died at the age of 18 on 14 Nov 1870; Urban Van Stewart died at the age of 13 in the Kanab Fort fire on 14 Dec 1870; Mary Artemacy Stewart died at 15 months; Seymore Alexander Stewart died at 18 months; Ellen Lenora Stewart died at 2 months; and Benjamin Levi died at 29 years.

She had three babies which all died at a very young age, one being born just months after the Kanab fire which took the lives of her son Urban Van, and her sister, Margery, and Margery's three sons. Upon the death of Margery, she lovingly cared for Margery's children.

Artemacy had a two-month-old daughter when Levi died on 14 June 1878. The 1880 census of Kanab, Kane, Utah, records Artemacy (45), Lucinda (25), Brigham Freeman (15), David Brinton (12), Benjamin Levi (9) and Ethel (2).

Artemacy was a midwife and delivered babies until she was in her eighties.
