Alt name

Assumed the name Steward. Never legally changed.

"You were asking about the background of the Steward family. I don't know how much you do know but ther is actually very little informaiton on them. YOu may or May not know that the family name was not originally Steward but Isaacs. Eric's grandfather was named Isaac Isaacs and was Jewish. He married Louisa May Simpson. theri son was Ernest Augustus Isaacs, he was Eric's father. He married Emily Maud Read, daughter of William Read and Elsie quartley. Eric was born in England and his birth certificate bears the name Eric Ernist Isaacs. He is listed as the son of Ernest augustus Isaacs. I believe tht Ernest Augustus had tow sisters, one was named Caroline, and I think tow brothers. I understand that hte brothers died when quite yourng. Eric's mother had three sisters Ruby, Olive and Elsie. One of them, I believe it was Elsie, died when quite yourng.

Athough we knewthat Eric's grandfather was Jewish he may have been a Christian Jew. In other workds he was Jewish by race but had become a Christian. When still in England Eric's father was a lay missionary for the Anglican church. He had a portable organ and he used to travel out to the hop fields and hold services for the workers.

At the time Eric's parents started planning to go to Canada there was a great deal of prejudice aginst the Jews in England and I think they feared it might be the same in Canada so they decided (I expect it was mostly his mother's idea) to change their name and the name Steward was picked because Eric's father had been a steward in a men's club. They left England as Isaacs and entered Canada as Steward.

Eric's mother never talked about the family and firmly discouraged anyone from asking questions. It was not until Eric decided to get married this his mother told him about the name change. As the name on his birth certificate was Isaacs I assume his mother hand never let him see it. When he came to Canada in 1911 they all used the name Steward. The rest of the children were born her under the Steward name.

I regret that after Eric's mohter died we did not ask his father about the family as I thin he would have told us. After both his parents died and we were helping clear out the house we discovered another mystery. We found a piece of paper on shich there was a lock of hair from each of the bbies and at the end of the list there was one from a baby named Billy. Neither Eric or any of the others knew anything about this baby. As Eric was sisteen when Don was born and htis baby had apparently been born after Don we can only assume that it was born dead or died soon after birth and the other children were never told, possibly it was very premature. Eric's mother was a very secretive person and got quite annoyed if anyone asked questions about family so htere were a number of things the family did not know. As Cyril once said "Mum was a strange woman."

When Eric and I went to England some years ago we went to St. Catherine House in London where the records were kept to try to find out more about the family. Unfortunately ther are about five people of the name Ernest Isaacs wh had been born in the same are of London at about the same time and we could not spend sufficient time in research to find out which one had become Eric's father.

I will try to find out through the Genealogical Society if it is possible to write to St. Catherine's House for informaiton. I expect ther would be a charge of some kind. It would be nice to know more about the family."

Biography

HURON CHURCH NEWS

"Faithful Soliders and Servants"
Address by Walter Prior at St. Bartholomew's, Sarnia

My Lord Bishop, Mr Birtch, the newly confirmed, visitors, fellow parishioners,

At this time of Confirmation, it seems fitting to tell you a story - was confrimed in the Anglican faith a good many years ago. When I have finished, I am sure that you will feel as I do - that this story can serve as an inspiration and example of Godly living - not only to our newest communicants but to all of us.
In the Order of Confirmation we renew our Baptismal vows. But it is in the Ministration of Public Baptism - the Baptismal service- that we find the words which apply most truly and aptly to that somone whose story I'm going to start telling any minute notw. Those words are "Christ's faithful soldier and servant" - and they are spoken by the priest almost immediately after the child has been signed with the sign of the Cross.
So here's the story of one of the "Christ's faithful soldiers and servants" -
Almost 81 years ago, a boy was born in the city of London, England, in the parish of the church of St. Andrew. Sometime later, the family moved to the north-eastern part of London - a district known as Victoria Park - and became parishioners of the Church of St. James the Less. And in due time, the boy in our story was confirmed and soo became a Sunday School teacher.
Now it so happened that in a very rundown district on the edge of the Parish (of St. James the Less) there was a small church which had been built by the Primitive Methodists in an effort to bring the good news into that slum district. They had attempted to hold services but met with little success and the effort failed. The church building suffered from neglect - broken windows, rubbish over the floors - but shortly after the boy in our story had begun teaching Sunday School - he would have been about sixteen or seventeen at the time - the vicar of St. James the Less suggested purchasing the neglected church property and using it to hold Sunday School classes. The vestry approved the idea - and guess who was commissionedwith the job of getting on with it? In those days, even as now, there was a shortage of Sunday School teachers, so it was left to him to conduct open services - that is, after the windows were repaired and the building made presentable.
At the first service, ten children showed up, at the second, twenty-five. About half-way through the second service, a five-man gang of 15 year old boys - perhaps, "hard rocks" is a more descriptive term - entered the church and tried to break up the service by cuffing and cursing the yournger children. Our Sunday School teacher asked them to leave and four of the five did. When he approached the fifth to attempt a little more forceful persuasion, the young tough drew a knife and slashed our teacher across the hand. It was a severe cut, blood flowed freely and the assailant took fright and fled. One of the youngsters rushed home, collected his mother who supplied a strip of bandage and the cut was repaired. But on the third Sunday, two of the mothers joined the service to forestall and discourage a repetition of the fracas of the preceding week. Our teacher suggested to them that a mission service be held in the evening and the idea was well-received, so well that within a year and a half, our teacher had worked himself out of a job - it was neccessary to provied a curate to minister full-time to the formerly neglected area.
But this teacher of ours just couldn't satisfy himself with one day a week effort at Sunday School. He started a Boys' Club in the Church School and found an outlet which kept him busy six nights a week. Not satisfied with that, he suggested to his vicar that a Sunday afternoon service for men be inaugurated. This was approved by the Bishop and put into practice and the response was indeed wonderful. At least 250 men were in attendance every Sunday, listening to various speakers, many of whom were missionaries associated with the Church Missionary Society and who were retired or on furlough. Later, our man was associated if not instrumental in the formation of a Book Club - where Bibles could be bought for 6d per week - a Christmas Savings Club (dues 1s per week) and a Men's Club where the secular activities consisted of chess, checkers, cricket, football and lectures. And all of this before he had reached voting age!
He was wo interested in the Lay Ministry that he joined the Church Army - not the Salvation but the Anglican Church Army - and spent a year in residence while training as a cadet. Our dedicated layman was licensed by the Bishop of London as a "Lay Evangelist" and during his period in the Army, conducted services in London, Kent, Worcestershire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire. Altogether, he spent five or six years as a Lay Evangelist and left only because there were no openings for married men - and he wanted to get married.
So he took up a position in the parish of St. Stephen's, Westminster, as manager of Pepy's House - which was the centre of all the parochial church activities and also served as a club for the personnel of Army and Navy Stores located in the area - some 250 men. His wife worked with him - associated with the cafeteria - until the first baby was born. After some 3-31/2 years, he deceded that family life was of greater improtance that the continually increasing work load, so someone decided - I'm not sure whether it was he or his wife - to come to Canada. So in 1911, at the age of 31 he arrived in this country and settled in Sarnia. Two days after his arrival he applied for employment at Imperial Oil and within a week was at work. Later he became stationary engineer at the General Hospital and still later at Auto-Lite where he completed 22 years of service before retirement.
His early church associations in Sarnia were with St. John's but his lay ministry continued through conducting services at the Indian Reserve and at various churchs along the River Road - (Highway 40 to you late-comers). In those days, to get to Corunna, he took a ferry to Port Huron, a street-car to Robert's Landin (now Marysville), a ferry to the Canadian side, then horse and buggy the rest of the way.
Later he attended St. George's and along with several other parishioners in the northern part of the city (Exmouth Street was the northern boundary then) - the though was expressed that time was ripe and need evident for a church in the north-eastern part of town. Wit hte financial help of St. Georgia's parish, the prospective land was purchased in Watson's Grove (now the corner of Maxwell and Russell Streets) and a building was moved from Oil Springs to become Canon Davis Memorial Church. Soon the building became too small for the congregation ans along about 1929-30, strenuous efforts were made to borrow funds to finance the building of the present Canon Davis Memorial. Money was tight during those Depression days and it became necessary for 10 of the parishioners to mortgage their homes and sigh a loan to permit going ahead with construction. Need I say that the subject of our story was one of the 10? He served as Sunday School superintendent from 1927 until well into the 1940's when he moved again - this time into the Parish of Stl Andrew's Memorial where he served as a board member for two terms. His interest has never flagged, nor has his spirit and conviction faltered. Even today, as he is nearing his 81t birthday, those of you who attend the 11:00 a.m. service are sure to see the man I now ask to come forward - Christ's faithful soldier and servant - Ernest A. Steward
