Charlotte Anne Stewart
This, tho eldest child of George Harris and Emeline (Chappell) Stewart, wa s born at Loudonvillo, 0., Jan. 20, 1838. Her education was chiefly obtained at Loudonville Academy, Ashland, O. (in the High School), and at Olome Institute, Canonsbnrg, Pa., where she was graduated with the first honor, Sep. 26, 1860. Then teaching, in which she already had obtained three yeai-s' experience, became her settled profession—most of her work being done in the High Schools of Ohio, and often as Principal. Among the institutions in which she labored were Olome Institute, Pa., High School at Crestline (1862), private school at Millersburg (1863^4), Loudonville Academy (in 1864), High Schools at Newark, O. (18651868), Bellefontaine, O. (1868-9), Lima, 0. (1869-1877), Akron, 0., (1878), Marshalltown, Iowa (1879-1882), Middletown, 0. (18831886), and lastly as a professional teacher in Augusta, Wisconsin, in 1889, though she taught a private school in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, in 1895. Twice (in 1878 and in 1886) she resigned to take a rest; once (in 1882) to help care for her father in his finaiillness, and once again (in 1890) she wont home to perform a similar work for her mother. But about th irty j'ears of her life she spent as a teacher of youth ; and during th ■ greater part of this period she occupied the position of a High School Principal.
Her work everywhere was marked by signal success. Her graduates are numbered by the hundreds, and many of her pupils have occupied high places of usefulness, trust and honor, in religious, financial, military and social circles. Her efforts, moreover, were not confined to a course of study. She aimed to give her pupils a high ide;J of life, and to make them noble men and women; and, in doin.* so, she was characterized by cheerfulness, patience, tact, enthusiasm and persistence.
Hence she not only got a Life Certificate from the Ohio State Board of Examiners as early as July 4, 1873, but also unsolicited testimonials from the best educators who were acquainted wiih her work. And, owing to her early and long connection with the Ohio Teachers' Association, she was one of the " Guests of Honor at the celebration of its 50th anniversary in 1887. It was her good fortune also to attend frequently the meetings of the National Educational Association, there always seeking personal and professional improvement ; and among her friends and acquaintances she numbered many famous educators of state and national reputation.
Miss Stewart is also religious. She united with the Presbyterian Church at Loudonville, 0., May 11, 1856; and ever siuce, wherever she has lived, she has been a sympathetic, active laborer in the cause of Christ, and in every affiliated movement for the elevation of society.
Siuce closing her school work she has made herself useful in the homes of her f fiends, where she is always welcomed as a companion and a helper.
In 1896 also she became one of the founders of the " Progress Club" of Loudonvillo—a literary and historical organization of which she was for four years the" Leader" and " Instructor"; and for nine years she has been its official "Critic."
Her complexion is light, her height five feet two inches, and her general appearance somewhat si out.
For sometime her health has been po iron account of an attack of pneumonia and its consequences.
Her present address (1905) is Loudonville, Ohio.
