STEWART, J. E.:  A TENNESSEAN by birth, and a Washingtonian by choice, J. E. 
Stewart, of Aberdeen, has established himself safely in the practice of his 
profession.  Mr. Stewart was born in Tennessee in 1878.  His early educational 
training was had in public schools.  Later he entered Leland Stanford 
University from which he graduated in 1907 with the A. B. degree.  The same 
year he was admitted to the bar in California.  He located in Aberdeen in 
1909, and was admitted to the Washington bar the same year.  He was appointed 
deputy prosecuting attorney if Grays Harbor County in 1913m and for two years 
held that office, following which he served as Prosecuting Attorney for six 
years.  Mr. Stewart belongs to the class of lawyers who have no patience with 
a sham or pretender.  While he prefers keeping clients out of litigation when 
possible, he never fails to give a splendid account of himself once he enters 
court.  He is at all times profound in his respect for the court and courteous 
to opposing counsel  His demeanor in practice has made him scores of friends 
throughout the state.  A man of pleasing personality, and a lawyer of ability, 
he has attained success that is well founded, indeed.  In 1910 Mr. Stewart wed 
Miss Alice Gable, and the couple have two children, both girls.  He is a 
member of the Kiwanis club, Elks, Knights of Pythias, and the county and state 
bar associations.
