Mass will be said at 10 a.m. Tuesday for Cpl. Alexander Stewart, an adopted French orphan who served with the 4th Division in World War II and was killed in Korea. His body lay in state at a Houston funeral home before burial in Arlington National Cemetery. Stewart, 22, became an American citizen through a congressional grant after serving in Europe and fought in several campaigns. He later slipped into the U.S. via Houston and was deported, with Texas lawmakers helping his case to gain the right to live here. He was ward of Mrs. Alex Axlerod of Houston and was promoted to corporal soon after enlistment.
