General Notes: Husband - Wallace B. Stewart, D.D.S.

---

He was educated first in the public schools of Indiana, Pennsylvania, the family having removed from Armagh during his early childhood. He attended high school, and after graduating took a course at the Indiana Normal College, and later entered the dental department of Medico-Chirogical College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, graduating from this institution with the class of 1902, and the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery. During his college days, Dr. Stewart took an especially active part in college athletics, playing on the college football team for three years. He served as assistant football manager, and was treasurer of the Athletic Association, chairman of the executive committee, and had in his charge the publication of the class year book. He was a member of the Psi Omega fraternity.
After his graduation in 1902, Dr. Stewart came to Monessen, Westmoreland County, and began active practice there. He then built up what was probably the most lucrative practice in the city. Dr. Stewart, however, did not confine himself to his practice only, but took an active hand in municipal and civic affairs. He was a member of the Board of Trade and served as president, vice-president and secretary of that organization, and as the chairman of the executive committee and was in close touch with all projects for the city's development. In his religious affiliations, Dr. Stewart was a Presbyterian and attended the First Presbyterian Church of Monessen, contributing largely to its philanthropic undertakings, serving as trustee for many years.
He was connected with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, being the chairman of its athletic committee. In politics Dr. Stewart was an ardent Democrat and was nominated in 1913 as candidate for burgess of Monessen, but was defeated on that occasion, the region being strongly Republican. In 1917 he was again a candidate for burgess and was elected by a very creditable majority.
Dr. Stewart was an enthusiast in promoting all outdoor athletic sports and was largely responsible for the building of the Monessen Athletic Field.
He was a member of the National Dental Association and of the Odontalogical Society of Western Pennsylvania.
