Stewart, David
clergyman, was born May 16, 1809, in Warren county, Ohio. In the civil war he was identified with the various. measures for the support and comfort. of the soldiers.
While he was on a mission of that kind to the army at.
Vicksburg, the citizens of Rush county nominated him, without his knowl-- edge, to represent them in the legisla-- ture. Thus pressed. into the political field he made the canvass, was elected in 1864, and re-elected in. 1866 and 1868.
