Dodge, Orvil. "The Pioneer History of Coos and Curry Counties, OR." Capital Printing Co.; Salem, Oregon; 1898. p. 82-83. Henry B. STEWARD Steward, Henry B., was born in Gardner City, Kennebec Co, Maine, Jan. 21, 1860. He arrived in Oregon (Coos County), Dec. 10, 1890, and settled in Myrtle Point, where he has resided ever since. Mr. Steward says the newcomer who arrives in Coos Co. from some older settled and more improved section of the country, having no knowledge of its equable climate, the wonderful fertility of its soil, the great variety of its products, the small amount of labor required to make a living as compared with other sections and above all its unequaled natural resources, such as one might on first impulse be tempted to retrace his steps, but if he will linger and investigate he will find that his lot has indeed fallen in pleasant places, and the more he investigates the more he will be convinced that the future of Coos Co. is full of bright promises. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios.
