OREN STUART, M. D., The subject of this personal history is a resident within the borders of Dubuque County and a respected citizen of Concord Township. He was the son of Moses and Mary A. (Glew) Stuart. Moses Stuart, father of our subject, was born in Bangor, Me., November 11, 1811. He was a very prominent man in this county, and was the President of the School Board for a long period of years. A zealous member of the Congregational Church and a stanch Republican, he was always ready to help in any enterprise pertaining to the promotion of the public welfare. He gave his children the very best education to be had in the county. He came to Dubuque County, Iowa, from Maine in 1837, and remained there for a few years, then removed to Elkader, working there at his trade as a carpenter and millwright for three years. He next was Postmaster at Millville, Iowa, for four years, then removed to California and remained there for two years. Returning to Concord Township, he settled on his old homestead of two hundred and forty acres, which he had increased to three hundred at the time of his demise, September 19,1878. The mother was born at Phillipsburg, Pa., January 2, 1821, and died November 8, 1885. There were eleven children born to this couple, as follows: Adline, Elvira; Oliver W., deceased; Oren, Ellen, Sumner, Moses, Mary A., Ansel, Alvin and Olive, deceased.

March 20, 1873, our subject was united in marriage with Miss Minnie Schoonover, a most estimable lady, who was born at Findlay, Ohio, October 28, 1848. She was one of ten children. This union was blessed with five children, as follows: Nellie, Olive, Ray, Elta and Edna.

Dr. Stuart remained at home with his parents until he arrived at the age of twenty-one years, when, thinking that he was strong enough to "paddle his own canoe," he commenced his battle with the world. He first taught school for five and a-half months; then he educated himself for a physician, and he is a most reliable one, having attended the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Keokuk, Iowa, and also graduated at the Missouri Medical College at St. Louis, Mo. He has a very successful practice and is the possessor of one hundred and sixty acres of the best farming land in the county.

Taken together, Mr. Stuart's endowments are such as fit him to occupy a high place in the regard of the people. Not only is he one of the most prominent business men in the township, but he has good and sufficient reasons to look back over the annals of his ancestry with a degree of pride unknown to many.

Dr. Stuart is a Republican in politics, and has good, practical ideas relative to public affairs. As an attendant of the Methodist Episcopal Church he is an earnest and active worker. Possessing a strong ambition and a high standard of professional excellency, with the aid and sympathy of a noble and womanly life companion, he is well fitted to attain a front rank in his chosen profession and secure in due time the permanent rewards of a successful and honorable career.
