General Notes: Husband - Miller Stewart, M.D.

---

At the age of eighteen years he started out in life for himself as a clerk to the prothonotary of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. In 1839 he secured a clerkship in the collector's office at Hollidaysburg, and in the autumn of 1841 entered the Allegheny Literary College, where he pursued his studies for a year. He then went to Huntingdon, and in 1842 began reading medicine under the direction of Dr. William Swope, at Huntingdon, after which he took a course in Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, where he was graduated in the spring of 1845. Returning to Huntingdon County, he engaged in practice there until 1849, then spent one year in traveling in the West, and in 1851 established a home at Fairmont, Marion County, Virginia, where he practiced until January, 1854. At that time he came to Snow Shoe township, Centre County, and became interested in the development of the lumber business, in connection with his brother William, the business relation between them existing until the latter's death in 1886. Subsequently the Doctor increased his operations, conducting an extensive enterprise in that line until 1889, when, his labors having brought to him an ample fortune, he retired to private life. In 1879, while working in a sawmill, he had four of the fingers of his right hand cut off by a buzz-saw, after which he learned to use his left hand in writing.
