General Notes: Husband - George Hamill Stewart

---

He was educated in the public schools of his native town and at Milnwood Academy, Shade Gap, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. As a youth he felt a strong desire to become a business man, and embarked in his first important venture in 1857, before he was twenty years of age. This was in the mercantile business at Shippensburg, in which he continued until 1868, with more than average success. During this period he also became interested in buying and selling real estate and the tanning of leather. In 1869 he engaged in the grain and forwarding business at Shippensburg, however still continuing his real-estate transactions, which were very extensive, he being the owner of a large number of the finest and most productive farms in the beautiful Cumberland Valley, all of which he brought to a high state of cultivation. He had other large interests in and outside of Shippensburg. He was president of the Valley National Bank at Chambersburg beginning from its organization in 1890; president of the board of trustees of the Cumberland Valley State Normal School; treasurer of Wilson College; director in the Cumberland Valley Railroad; director in the First National Bank of Shippensburg and the Farmers Trust Company of Carlisle, as well as many other positions of trust and confidence.
