CHARLES B. STEWART
(Farmer aad Stock-raiser, Section 26, Township 55, Range 16). Mr. Stewart is one of the younger class of farmers of Randolph county, and was brought up at a time when there were good educational advantages in the country and of which he had the benefit. His higher education was received at Mount Pleasant College, and he then took a business course at Bryant and Stratton's Commercial College of St. Louis, from which he graduated in the spring of 1875. He had intended to devote himself to mercantile pursuits, and in order to learn the practical details of the business entered the store of his brother at Huntsville as a clerk after leaving the commercial college, and remained with his brother for four years. But he was reared on a farm, and after learning merchandising and finding out that it is not such a remarkable business after all, he concluded that about the happiest and best life a man can live, and one by no means the least profitable, is that of a farmer. He therefore returned to the pursuits of his boyhood and youth - agriculture, and has been farming ever since. Of course his education and business experience are of no disadvantage to him as a farmer, but on the contrary contribute materially to his success. He has a fine farm of nearly 300 acres on Middle Fork and is entering largely into stock-raising, raising cattle principally, for which he has fine pasturage and other advantages. Mr. Stewart was born just a mile from where he now resides 32 years ago, on the 22d of February, 1852. His parents, Charles B. and Fannie (Hill) Stewart, were from Virginia, and came here in an early day. His father was in good circumstances and one of the best citizens of the county. He died in 1883 aged 80. He was for many years judge of the county court."
