General Notes: Husband - Harry Miles Stewart


After graduating from public school in Indiana, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, he took a course at the State normal school, leaving to assume the position of deputy register and recorder under his father. Before his term was out he enlisted, at the age of twenty, with Company F, 5th Regiment, N. G. P., for service in the Spanish-American war. At Mount Gretna he became a member of the United States hospital corps. While the army was encamped at Chickamauga he worked among the sick, laboring indefatigably until one day in the midst of his duties he was stricken with typhoid fever. He was sent home on Governor Hastings' hospital train, but had to be taken from the train when he reached Greensburg, being there for ten weeks before he could be brought home to Indiana. While at Chickamauga he was the correspondent of the Indiana Messenger, and his vivid descriptions and news pleased and consoled many at home. He received his honorable discharge from the service Dec. 15, 1898. He then decided to study medicine, and entered Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, where his musical ability made him very popular socially. He was very proficient in his studies, but ill health interfered, and he died. He was a member of the M. E. Church at Indiana.
