JAMES C. STUART.—The name of James C. Stuart has come to be regarded as
synonymous with the business activity in El Centro, California, a man who by his
own initiative, hard work and good judgment has made a success in the Valley.
Mr. Stuart was born in Kentucky, January 2, 1877, a son of William and Mary
Stuart, both deceased. James C. acquired his education in the public schools of
his native state. Starting out in life, he worked in the mines in east Kentucky
and Tennessee. He was identified with the commissary department of the mines for
a period of twelve years. In October, 1905, Mr. Stuart came to California and
located in Imperial County. On arriving in the section of El Centro he rented
160 acres of land which is now in the city limits. He later purchased three
acres of sub-division number one and traded later for eighty-five acres in
number six. Mr. Stuart also owns ten acres three miles north of El Centro. He
engaged in the grocery business in El Centro under the name of Ross & Stuart for
six years. Previous to this he was identified with the general store of R. L.
Rum-sey for five years. He is now managing the store and post-office at Mt.
Signal. Mr. Stuart was married June 22, 1898, to Ethel Cooper, a native of
Kentucky and daughter of A. B. and Alice Cooper. To this union have been born
three children: Maurice, Lucille and Keith. Mrs. Stuart's mother makes her home
with her daughter, and her father is deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Stuart have a host
of friends in El Centro and vicinity and are held in esteem by all who know them.
