Livingston Co.

R. STEWART, M.D., was born August 4, 1855, in Livingston County, and is a
son of W.W. and Caroline (Travis) Stewart, natives of Crittenden and
Livingston Counties, Ky., respectively.  Subject's paternal grandfather 
was Washington Stewart, a native of Georgia, and an early settler of 
Crittenden County.  He was a successful physician and an active business
man, and died about the year 1832.  William W. Stewart, subject's father,
was born in Livingston County, November 19, 1819, and is still living in
his native county, about four miles from Salem Village.  Caroline (Travis)
Stewart, subject's mother, died in 1860.  Dr. Stewart is the only child
living of a family of four born to the above parents.  He spent his youth
principally in Dycusburgh and Salem, attending the schools of those
villages for a number of years.  In 1874 he commenced the study of 
medicine in Smithland, under the instruction of Dr. Duley, with whom he
remained for a period of six months, after which he entered the Louisville
University, which he attended two years, but did not graduate on account
of being under age.  After leaving the University a five years' certificate
was granted to him by the State Medical Board at Henderson, whereupon he
commmenced the practice of his profession at Salem with Dr. Threlkeld,
carrying on a general drug business at the same time.  In 1879 he 
purchased his partner's interest, and continued the business in connection
with his practice until 1881, at which time he again entered the Medical
University at Louisville, graduating in the class of the same year.  
After graduation, he returned to Salem and resumed his practice, 
remaining there until 1883, when he removed to Carrsville, where he has
since resided in the active practice of his profession.  He is also 
proprietor of a handsome drug store, representing a capital of about 
$3,000 and is doing a successful and lucrative business.  Dr. Stewart was
married September 5, 1876, to Miss Alice Lowery, daughter of Thomas and
Sarah Lowery, of Livingston County.  Three children have been born to this
Union - Washington, Allen T. and Rally, all of whom are living.  The 
Doctor is an active member of the I.O.O.F., and in politics a staunch 
Democrat.
