General Notes: Husband - James Nelson Stewart

---

He grew to manhood in Brush Valley township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and had such advantages as the district schools of the time afforded. The rest of his education was acquired after he got out into the world, and experience was been his best teacher. He was reared to farming from his earliest boyhood, and in 1871 began farming and stock dealing on his own account, moving into the borough of Indiana in 1876. However, he did not devoted all his time to business, having been quite active in the public service and a leading member of the Republican party in his county. He was elected register and recorder of Indiana County, serving two successive terms in that office, 1896-1902, and he was connected with the revenue department as storekeeper, holding that office in the Twenty-third district for eight years. While in office he gave up farming and stock dealing entirely. Besides his other business interests Mr. Stewart was a director of the Savings & Trust Bank of Indiana, and he served on the building committee when the building of that institution was erected in Indiana. Mr. Stewart was reared in the Presbyterian faith, but was a member of the M. E. Church.
