General Notes: Husband - Rev. William B. Stewart

---

He entered the preparatory school at Washington College in 1838. After six years, part of this time being spent in teaching, he graduated and the same fall entered Western Theological Seminary. After one and one-half years his health failed and he was compelled to teach for a few years. But regaining health he attended one session at Princeton and was licensed by the Presbytery of New Brunswick, April 1849. Dr. Stewart sustained pastoral rela­tions as follows: Govanstown, near Baltimore—eight years; Pottstown, Pennsylvania-1860-1864; Congregational Church, Spenceport, New York-1870-1873: Port Henry, New York-1873-1876; Fort Edward, New York-1876-1879; and Coventry, New York-1879. His life was of varied activities. He was the founder, or connected with the following schools at different periods of his life: Academy at Cumberland; Maryland, English and Classical School, Greencastle, Pennsylvania; Washington Female College, Baltimore, Maryland, Raymond Collegiate Institute, New York; and Ingleside Sem­inary, New York. For six years he was District Secretary of the American and Foreign Christian Union of Central and Western New York. Later he became Secretary of the Pennsylvania Branch of the American Tract Society. Many of the pro­ducts of his pen found their way to the press. Health failing, he returned to Fort Edward, New York, where he died of pneumonia.
