General Notes: Husband - Alexander Stewart


After his marriage he purchased ninety-six acres of land in Porter township, Clarion County, PA, for $1,600, to which he later ad­ded a tract of fifty acres, paying $1,600 for that amount. As he prospered and his financial resources increased, he bought more land until he owned four good farms in that township. Much of his land he gave to his sons, and also es­tablished one son in the hardware business. Coming to Sligo in April, 1881, Mr. Stewart pur­chased a farm of 104 acres within the corpora­tion limits, was principally operated by hired help. Two years after locating there he purchased a hotel, which contained thirty large and comfortable rooms. For some years he devoted considerable attention to buying and shipping cattle, but dis­continued that business in 1893. In his busi­ness enterprises he met with a well-deserved success, and was numbered among the prosperous and wealthy citizens of his community.
He was called upon to serve in a number of local offices of honor and trust. In the spring of 1884 he was appointed to fill an unexpired term of three years as mail agent between Clarion and Parker, under Presi­dent Garfield, and made a daily trip twenty-five miles each way. Later he served in the same position for eleven months after the death of the regular mail agent, and in 1893 was appointed to carry the mail between Clarion and Sligo, his term expiring June 30, 1897. In politics he was a pro­nounced Democrat, and was one of the leading mem­bers of the Presbyterian Church, of which he served as trustee.
