General Notes: Husband - William Stewart

---

He was born on Squirrel Hill, later part of the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He entered the employ of the Butler Sentinel at the age of fourteen years, and worked there for a period of several years. In 1848, he engaged in the iron business, at first operating the Margaret Furnace in Butler County, near Centerville, and later the Will-Roy Furnace in Lawrence County; subsequently he returned to Butler County, purchased and operated the Winfield Furnace. In 1865, he moved to Pittsburgh, where he lived until 1884, when he came to New Castle, where he continued to live until his death.
In politics Mr. Stewart was a Whig and later a Republican; in his younger years he served very acceptably as cashier in the State Treasury Department under State Treasurer Gilmore; he also was honored with an election to the State Legislature, representing Mercer, Butler, and Lawrence Counties as one district. He was a regularly ordained local minister in M. E. Church for forty years. He was well-posted not alone to his immediate surroundings and walks in life, but also in a broader sense; reading was almost his sole recreation, and he made it also a source of great profit. He possessed strong personal characteristics, was stern in his decisions and positive in his opinions. He was director of the First National Bank of New Castle for several years prior to his death, that event terminating his office. His first business venture was the building of a portion of the Erie Canal.
