General Notes: Husband - Dr. Samuel Shaw Stewart, M.D.

---

He was brought up on the old homestead at Stewart Station, receiving his elementary education in the common schools of that region. Later he studied at Antrim College, Ohio, going thence to Washington and Jefferson College. After a course at the latter institution he went to Philadelphia, matriculated at Jefferson Medical College, and graduated in the class of 1861, receiving the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
The Civil war having just begun, he enlisted in the northern army as assistant surgeon of the One Hundred and Twenty-third Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, having charge of this regiment until promoted to the rank of surgeon of the Fifty-sixth Regiment. He was at Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, and also participated in many of the other important battles of the war. On returning from military service he began the practice of medicine, settling at Turtle Creek, Allegheny County, where he remained three years, building up a large practice and having six hundred families on his list of patients. He was the only physician there.
His health not being equal to the strain of so much work, he decided to move to Philadelphia, and there spent three years, enjoying a good practice. In 1872 he returned to the old homestead at Stewart Station, whence, after a period of rest, he moved to Allegheny City, where for eighteen years he practiced his profession successfully. In 1899 he retired from all active labor and removed with his family to Edgewood.
He was a member of the Allegheny Medical Association.
He was a member of the Second United Presbyterian church of Wilkinsburg, and served as an elder of the Stewart Station church for many years. He was a Republican, but had no time for politics.
