Much of the material in this collection pertains to the Las Vegas Ranch which was the site of the Old Mormon Fort and became part of the townsite of Las Vegas when it was sold to the railroad. The material documents various sales and purchases during the period 1882-1969. Also included are correspondence, documents, and photographs of the Stewart Family burial plot. Correspondence between Helen Stewart and her children comprises a large part of the collection. There are also several folders of material related to the estates of Helen Stewart and her daughter, Evaline Stewart Stay, as well as various family legal papers and certificates. Many albums and scrapbooks are included in the collection, including Helen Stewart's 70th birthday scrapbook, a poetry scrapbook, a ledger, a souvenir photo album of El Dorado Cañon, and a day book from 1904-1919 as well as several photo albums. Sprinkled throughout the collection are what appear to be Stewart's writings and notes on various topics. An incomplete set of genealogy charts compiled by the processor from material in the collection is included as part of the collection guide.

4 boxes (1.67 linear ft.) + 1 oversize folder.
