L. Stewart (March 22, 1872 – January 11, 1956),was a lawyer from a prominent family in his native Minden in Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana, US. From 1904 to 1908 he was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives[1] during the administration of Governor Newton Blanchard. BackgroundStewart was the fifth of seven children of Douglad (correct spelling) Stewart, Jr. (1826-1884), a native of Sampson County in southern North Carolina who was reared in Georgia, and the former Sarah Frances Culbertson (1840-1885), a native of Coosa County in central Alabama. Legal careerOn May 17, 1897, E. L. Stewart graduated from Tulane University Law School in New Orleans. One of his classmates was the later U.S. Senator John H. Overton and the future state Attorney General Bolivar Edwards Kemp, Jr.[2] After his single term in the state House, Stewart was succeeded in the position by Robert Roberts, Jr., a former short-term mayor of Minden and a later a state court judge and the maternal grandfather of later Governor Murphy J. "Mike" Foster, Jr. In 1917, E. L. and Dan Stewart, Sr. were sued by the Town of Minden for non-payment of the expense for the mandatory construction of sidewalks abutting their properties, based on a 1902 state law, which the plaintiffs challenged unsuccessfully on double appeal to the Louisiana Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit in Shreveport and the Louisiana Supreme Court in New Orleans. They did not request the sidewalks and sought to shield themselves from the associated costs.[3] The Minden City Council had undertaken a sidewalk program pushed by subsequent Mayor Connell Fort.[4] {{Portalbar|Biography|Louisiana|Law|Politics}}References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://house.louisiana.gov/H_PDFdocs/HouseMembership_History_CURRENT.pdf |title=Membership of the Louisiana House of Representatives, 1812 - Current: Webster Parish |publisher=house.louisiana.gov |accessdate=March 11, 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006105414/http://house.louisiana.gov/H_PDFdocs/HouseMembership_History_CURRENT.pdf |archivedate=October 6, 2014 |df= }} {{s-start}}{{succession box2. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Yag4AAAAMAAJ&pg=RA3-PA148|title=May 17, 1897|page=28|publisher=The Register of Tulane University|accessdate=March 13, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jPpMqyLOd74C&pg=PA118&lpg=PA118&dq=E.+L.+Stewart+of+Minden&source=bl&ots=2x4-t4jOLJ&sig=8VPLP4PLvENu27u4wgsHWzVJ6pI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=GzADVeCHGcW-ggS2iIHYBw&ved=0CCwQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=E.%20L.%20Stewart%20of%20Minden&f=false|publisher=Southern Reporter, Vol. 77|pages=118–121|title=Town of Minden v.
