JAMES H. STEWART.

   James H. Stewart was born in Jefferson county, Kentucky, March 27, 1809. He
removed to Washington county, Indiana, there received his early education and
made preparations to practice medicine. He came to Delphi, Indiana, on the 27th
of March, 1830. In 1834 he was elected clerk of the court; this office he held
for twenty-five years, consecutively. After retiring from office he entered into
partnership with L. B. Sims, in the practice of law, which continued to the date
of his death, April 13, 1879. He was married to Julia M. Sims, May 29, 1851, who
died on February 19, 1896, leaving no issue.

   Mr. Stewart was a past grand master of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
of this state. He was the leading spirit in forming the Old Settlers Society,
and to him the credit is due for the preservation of the early history of this
county. To his valuable book entitled "Recollections of Carroll County,
Indiana," published in 1872, the writer is indebted for many facts set forth in
this work. He enjoyed a state-wide acquaintance and personally knew many of the
leading statesmen of his time. He was a man of commanding appearance and he
stood for the best ideals for the public good.
