Dr. Floyd Stewart, formerly connected
professionally with the United States army and navy for several years,
is now engaged in the private practice of medicine in St. Louis, making
a specialty of genito-urinary diseases. A native of Georgia, he was born
at Thomaston, October 20, 1873, a son of the late Alcee W. Stewart, who
was born in Louisiana and was of Scotch descent. [etc.] On the 25th of July, 1898, in New Orleans, Dr. Stewart was married to Miss Ada May Rowley, a native of the Crescent City and a daughter of Walter Livingston and Catherine Ann (Mortee) Rowley, both now deceased. Her father, who was born in New York in 1834 and died in New Orleans in 1891, was a son of Rufus and Charlotte (Stockman) Rowley and was a grandson of Richmond Rowley, who lived at Richmond, Massachusetts, near Pittsfield, the place being named in his honor. The mother of Walter L. Rowley was a daughter of Dr. Stockman, of Utica, New York, and Caroline (Richie) Stockman, whose father was an Episcopal minister of Philadelphia. Mrs. Stewart's mother, who in her maidenhood was Catherine Ann Mortee, was born in 1841 and died in 1916. She was the daughter of William P. and Judith Catherine (Penn) Mortee, of Patrick County, Virginia. Her grandmother was Sarah Gordon, of Richmond, Virginia, who became the wife of George Penn, the son of John Penn, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and related to the distinguished Penn family of Pennsylvania. An uncle, Alexander Gordon Penn, of Patrick county, Virginia, was a prominent congressman, serving in the national halls of legislation in 1851 and again in 1853. Dr. and Mrs. Stewart have had three children: Seymour Floyd, Catherine Penn and one who died in infancy. The family resides at No. 5266 Washington boulevard in St. Louis. |
