DEATH OF JUDGE JAMES E. STEWART
A late number of the Page County. Virginia, Courier announces the death of Judge James E. Stewart, at his home in Luray, Va., on July 18th, in the seventy-sixth year of his age. Judge Stewart was well and favorably known in this city by the older citizens, and throughout the State. He was an uncle of James A. Stewart, formerly of Wheeling, now of Paris, Ky., and of Mrs. Margaret Griffith, of Thirteenth street. The Courier says:
"Although by profession a lawyer. Judge Stewart's early life was largely devoted to politics, having served the county of Berkeley (now West Virginia) in the State Legislature two terms and again in the Constitutional Convention in 1851. He was a fluent and forcible speaker, and in all campaigns in his section of Virginia wielded a large influence in determining public sentiment. He had an intimate acquaintance with Clay, Calhoun, Webster, Hayne, Buchanan, Tyler, Lincoln, Davis, and indeed with most of the prominent men of his day.
"He was for many years the law partner of the late Charles James Faulkner, of Martinsburg, for whom he always cherished the highest regard.
"Driven by the vicissitudes of war from his home and county, he sometime in 1863 came to Page to seek refuge for his family and property from the ills and dangers of the strife, and at its close decided to make his home here. In 1873 he was made Judge of the County Court of this county and served with honor and unsullied character for twelve years.
"He was a gentleman by nature. Courteous and chivalrous, polished and refined in manner, he belonged to that rare type of ante-bellum days, distinguished the world over as a 'Virginia gentleman,' and no man ever lived who wore the title more worthily. We have never known a man of a higher sense of honor and appreciation of the amenities and proprieties which pertain between gentlemen."
