James Faulkner. Page 90, CHARLES D. STEWART. For nearly half a century this gentleman held the office of deputy Sheriff of this county. Each successive senior magistrate as he attained the Sheriffalty, was pleased, as the law then stood, to farm out for a fixed compensation the discharge of its duties to one so distinguished for his honesty and humanity as Charles D. Stewart. Few men ever passed through so protracted an official service with so little complaint of his conduct. He was prompt in the execution of process, tender, yet firm and decided, and he administered his charities so quietly and silently that his left hand scarcely knew what his right had bestowed. He died of the cholera in 1854. ------------------------------------------------------------------- If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access other biographies for Berkeley County, WV by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/wv/berkeley/bios.html -------------------------------------------------------------------
