General Notes: Husband - Alexander Stewart

---

He received his education in the public schools of his native town. When only seventeen years old he enlisted in Co. D, 130th Regt., P. V., for the nine months service, and participated in the battles of Antietam and Fredericksburg and other engagements. He was in the battle of Antietam on his birthday. He again entered the service as 1st lieutenant of Co. K, 201st Regt., P. V., Aug. 28, 1864, and was mustered out June 21, 1865. After the war Mr. Stewart went to Colorado, where he remained three years engaged in the transportation of freight over the Plains. As this was before the era of railroads in that part of the country the hardships of his life in the Far West were very great. When he returned to Shippensburg he engaged in mercantile pursuits. In 1874 he removed to Scotland, Franklin County. He conducts a large business in the purchase and sale of grain, and gives much attention to farming.
He was always an active Republican. He was chairman of the Franklin County Republican Committee, 1897-99. He was elected a member of the State Senate in 1900, and in 1904 was renominated for and re-elected to that body, for a term of four years. He was a charter member of Housum Post No. 309, G. A. R., and in 1865 joined the Masonic fraternity at Shippensburg, uniting with Lodge No. 315.
