Stewart, James L.

Dr. James L. Stewart, the most noted physician and surgeon of Erie, died in that city on Sunday Dec. 7th, aged 66 years.  He was born in Westmoreland county, was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and located in Erie in 1850.  Dr. Stewart held a high place in his profession.  His practice was very extensive.  His specialty was surgery, in which he was a bold and successful operator.  His health began to break down over a year ago.  He was much benefitted by a stay at Cambridge springs, and last summer he went to Europe on a vacation trip, attending the World's Medical Conference at Berlin, in October.  His trip did not benefit him.  His wife died in 1888, and their only son, Lt. R. T. Stewart, U. S. A., was waylaid and murdered by Apache Indians in Arizona, Aug. 27, 1872.  A good many of our citizens have been successfully treated by Dr. Stewart.
