General Notes: Husband - John Edward Stewart
He remained at the parental home until he was twenty-nine years of age, and received a common-school education, necessarily somewhat limited, as being the eldest in the family he had to, early in life, commence in the farm work, assisting his father, who was severely injured in one foot, and had ill health for a few years. After his marriage in 1871 he removed to Mt. Pleasant township, Washington County, and settled on a farm which he had purchased. There they remained until November, 1891, when they moved into the borough of Washington, having purchased a residence on West Main street.
About 1880 he and his wife moved to Washington, Pennsylvania. The following is quoted from an item in the Presbyterian Banner: "Mr. Stewart was a good citizen and served the county in several important offices. In politics he was a Democrat, but was elected to office in Republican strongholds. In religion he was a Presbyterian and a member of the Third Church of Washington from the time of its organization, in which he was highly esteemed, and held the offices of treasurer and financial secretary for a period of ten years. He was a man of quiet habits and disposition, strong convictions, and decidedly loyal to the church. In his decease the State has lost a good citizen, the church a faithful and loyal member, and the widow an affectionate husband."
