He was born in Bakerstown, Pennsylvania on August 12, 1876 to Reverend William G. and Jennie Wright Stewart.[1] He graduated from Washington & Jefferson College in 1899 and attended Harvard Law School.[1] He and Ernest F. Acheson owned the Washington Observer and the afternoon Washington Reporter newspapers in Washington, Pennsylvania, which eventually merged to form the Observer-Reporter.[2] He was a trustee of Washington & Jefferson College and of the Washington Female Seminary.[8] He was a trustee of The Washington Hospital.[8] He founded the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Association.[3] He died on May 31, 1940.[4] His wife, Margaretta Donnan Stewart, took over control of the Observer-Reporter.[5] The John L. Stewart Clock Tower on the northwest corner of the McIlvane Hall at Washington & Jefferson College is named in his honor.[6] Before McIlvane Hall was demolished in 2008, the clock chimed to note the hour.[7][8] GalleryReferences{{commons category}}1. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite book| last = Eaton | first = Samuel John Mills |author2=Woods, Henry | title = Biographical and Historical Catalogue of Washington and Jefferson College | publisher = G.H.
