General Notes: Husband - John W. Stewart


He was born on his father's farm in Buffalo township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and received a good education at the common schools of his district. When his father died, he took charge of the home place of 217 acres, and resided there. He was one of the successful and progressive farmers and stock raisers in Washington County, and grew annually a large amount of wool, having a flock of as many as 300 sheep. He took an active interest in politics as a member of the Republican party. He and his wife were both connected with the North Buffalo United Presbyterian Church.

In his boyhood he attended the district schools near his home, but from early youth assisted in the operation of the home farm. He continued to farm and to raise fine cattle and stock during the entire period of his active life and when he was called away he left an ample estate to his surviving widow and his children. He was a consistent member of the North Buffalo United Presbyterian Church, of which he was also a trustee. He was a Republican in his political views, but sought no public offices.


General Notes: Wife - Margaret "Maggie" Caldwell


She was born in Hopewell Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where she was also reared. She was educated in the public schools and at Washington Seminary.
She was very active in the North Buffalo Presbyterian Church and was president of the Missionary Society. After the death of her husband, she continued to reside on the old Stewart farm, the old homestead, where she had spent many peaceful, happy years. In 1904, a fine new brick home, modern in its construction and improvements, was erected by Mr. Stewart, but he lived to enjoy it but a few months.
