Simon L. Stewart, son of John C. and Goldie E. (Terrill) Stewart, was born December 31, 1932, on a farm north of Freedom, Oklahoma. He passed away August 18, 2018, at Share Convalescent Home at the age of 85 years, 7 months and 18 days.

Growing up, Simon attended Old Freedom through the sixth grade, going on to Freedom High School and graduating in 1950. As a young boy he helped with chores on the farm.

He was drafted by the United States Army in 1953 and served 5 years. After returning home from the Army he worked for Ledford Construction Co. for several years.

In December of 1963 he came back to Freedom to stay with his mother to help her out. He started working for the Oklahoma State Department in 1964 and retired after 30 years in 1994.

He moved to Alva in 1988 so his mother would be closer to the doctor. He took the greatest care of her.
