This short history of the Stewart's would perhaps not be complete without a biography of Thomas Charles Stewart who was born on 1st April, 1878. He was reared at Fairvew being the eldest child of Archibald's second family. His schooling was at Cathcart where we assume the 3 R's would have been the main subjects taught. As a young man he journeyed to Queensland where he worked on diary farms for a number of years. On his return to Cathcart he noticed his father had a number of prime bullocks at Fairview. He told Archibald that before leaving Queensland he attended cattle sales where similiar bullocks
were almost unsaleable and suggested he sell them immediately. Archibald scoffed at this advice but Scotchy was right and the market collapsed and the bullocks were shot in the paddock as they would not make the freight to the saleyards.
Scotchy was a late starter in the marriage stakes, but eventually married Emily Lynder Gerathy also of Cathcart. Their marriage was a successful one producing three boys, Raymond Archibald, Athol Neville and Donald Charles, and one daughter, Nancy. When first married they lived at Mrylebrook, a property just south-west of Bombala. After a short time they moved to their house in Cardwell Street, Bombala, where both Scotchy and Millie ended their days.
Scotchy soon bought a butchery in Bombala which he sold and bought back again, and is still run by two of his sons. He is probably most remembered in the district through his livestock dealings, being never afraid to buy something that looked "worth the money". I remember one story where he puchased a large number of pigs at Pambula and decided to walk them to Victoria via Bendoc and Orbost to the stronger southern markets. However, upon arrival at Bendoc he was told there was an outbreak of swine fever in Victoria and no pigs were to cross the border. So back to Bega with the pigs and as you can
imagine there was little profit in that deal.
Scotchy loved a yarn with anyonem particularly in his later years, so there were often unexpected guests for lunch or dinner. Late in life his eyesight failed and in his desire to strike up a conversation with people his opening line was "Do I know you?" This generally met with mixed success but amazingly it porduced conversation anywhere from a Sydney train to sitting on his front verandah in Cardwell Street.
Children of Mr Thomas Charles (Scotchy) Stewart and Miss Emily Lynder (Millie) Gerathy were as follows:
34 i Mr Raymond Archibald4 Stewart.
35 ii Mr Athol Neville4 Stewart.
36 iii Mr Donald Charles4 Stewart.
37 iv Miss Nancy4 Stewart.
