  A empty barrel that had been used to contain resin and an acetylene torch combined to cause the death of John Stewart, 29, of Thayne Thursday, June 29. The incident occurred at the Star Valley Ranch south of Etna, three and a half miles east of U.S. 89. Stewart had obtained several 55 gallon steel barrels from the Afton airplane manufacturing company Aerotek, which uses the resin industrially, and was removing the top with an acetylene torch to convert the containers into trash cans. The resin a highly flammable material was ignited by the torch and caused the barrel to explode. According to Lincoln County Deputy Sheriff Rex Rich, who investigated the accident, burning resin from the explosion must have covered Stewart's clothes, setting them on fire. There was evidence that he tried unsuccessfully to extinguish the flames before he burned to death. The body was found 37 feet from the explosion and several burnt spots on the seat of Stewart's pickup truck indicated that he had first climbed into it in an attempt to put out the flames. Stewart's body was found by LaVard Jackson of Freedom and kip Heiner of Bedford both employees of Star Valley Ranch. He was the son of C.D. Stewart and Fae Wittwer Stewart and was born Nov 20. 1942 in Las Vegas, Nev. where he attended grade and high school. As an active member of the LDS Church, Stewart worked with the Scouting program in Las Vegas and won seven annual priesthood achievement awards with nearly 100 percent attendance at church meetings in the Charleston Ward there. He was a five-year seminary graduate. After attending BYR and Santa Ana College in California, he moved to Crystal Springs Ranch at Hiko, Nev. where he worked as a rancher and doing heavy construction work. In the spring of 1970 he moved to Star Valley where he met Cheryl Lynn Fullmer, whom he married on his birthday, Nov 20, 1970. One year later their marriage was sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple. They had one child, an eight month old boy named Jason David. Horses and team roping were his hobbies and he performed in major rodeos all over the nation. As an adult his interest in Scouting continued and he served as assistant Explorer advisor in addition to being a Venturer advisor, home teacher and president of the parent and youth Sunday School class at the time of his death.
