General Notes: Husband - Alexander Stewart


He was educated at the Chambersburg (Pennsylvania) Academy and prepared for college at York. He was graduated at Princeton University in 1886. After leaving college he studied law with his father and was admitted to the Franklin County Bar April 23, 1888. He was a young man of unusual talent and soon became counsel for the Cumberland Valley Railroad Co. and the National Bank of Chambersburg. When Judge Watson Rowe retired from the Bench Mr. Stewart became the junior partner in the law firm of Rowe & Stewart. In his brief career at the Bar he was soon recognized as one of its leaders, and his career as a lawyer was cut short by his early death. He was a man of sturdy, robust frame, upright, gentle, earnest and honorable. He was a member of the Whig Club of Princeton and of the University Club of Philadelphia.
