JOHN E. STEWART
 
John E. Stewart, of Richland township, was born in the same in 1834, the son of
John and Anna (Bell) Stewart. In childhood he removed with his parents to Wheeling
township, where he grew to manhood and received his education. Though his
schooling was limited, the subsequent extensive reading, and varied experience,
has made him one of the intelligent and progressive men of the county. In
September, 1860, he was married to Mary J., daughter of Christopher Hinkle, an
account of whom is given in these pages. Four years later he enlisted in Company
E, One Hundred and Seventieth regiment Ohio volunteer infantry, as a corporal,
and served in that rank until his discharge in 1865. Mr. Stewart is influential
and popular, and has served in a public capacity, as trustee of Wheeling township,
and as school director six years. He has a fertile farm of ninety-five acres, and
a comfortable residence and other substantial buildings. Mrs. Stewart was born in
Richland township in October, 1836, and she and her husband are members of the
United Presbyterian church. Two children have been born to them, of whom one is
living, Rosa A. She is the wife of William Daniel, and has two children: Henry
and Anna Belle.
