Obituary from The Stewart Clan Magazine, July 1942, vol. XX, no. 1, Tome D, page 284, written by the magazine's editor George Thomas Edson:
INGLIS STUART, ENGINEER AND HISTORIAN, DIES IN 84TH YEAR
Descended from Scotland's noblest families, and himself one of America's noblest men, Inglis Stuart died May 16, 1942, at "Roseneath," Beacon-on-Hudson, New York. He was never married, and his closest kin are nephews, nieces and cousins. He was born Mar. 24, 1859, at Willow Tree, N. Y., son of Homer Hine and Margaret E. (Dubar) Stuart. Homer Hine Stuart was a son of Aaron and grandson of Capt. John Stewart of Colrain, Mass. Capt. John was a son of Samuel [sic -- James, whose widow Alice afterwards married James' brother Samuel] and grandson of John Stewart, one of the first settlers of Londonderry, N. H. John was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1682, son of Robert and Janette (Forsyth) Stewart and grandson of Walter Stewart of Perthshire, Scotland. This genealogy was published in 1909 [sic - 1905] in a now rare little book called Genealogy of the Stewarts of Londonderry, N. H., by B. Frank Severance of Shelburne, Mass., largely financed by Inglis Stuart. Mr. Stuart's father was prominent in New York state political, literary and financial circles and numbered among his acquaintances many of the famous people of his era. Inglis became a civil engineer, and had a part in much of the railroad organization and construction in the era of great expansio, 1874-1900. The town of Stuart, Fla., was named for him and his brother, the late Homer Hine Stuart of Philadelphia. For the past fifty years his residence was "Roseneath," a palatial home on the Hudson river. He had various interests, and traveled a great deal. His acquaintance was wide, and his friendships many. He had a remarkable mind, a great store of knowledge and a kindly humor. He was among the very first subscribers to The Stewart Clan Magazine, and he very materially promoted the gathering of records, old maps, books and material. He was truly our friend. As long as our labors continue, remember that his impulse and his influence are in them.
