Stewart, Albert, 1900-1965
Variant namesBiographical notes:
Biographical note: Rev. A.C. Stewart was born near Allen, Nebraska in 1880. He was ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples) in Nebraska, but spent his later years as a member of the First Baptist Church in Tucson. Stewart moved to Arizona in 1917 as a missionary for the American Sunday Union. Initially headquartered in Prescott, he soon relocated to Tucson in 1919. Stewart traveled extensively through Arizona especially to small, rural towns. His services as a missionary ranged from presiding over funeral services in areas without a religious leader, converting "unsaved souls," distributing Bibles, organizing Sunday schools and Vacation Bible schools, holding evangelistic meetings, and establishing congregations in small Arizona towns. His experiences motivated him to collect money and clothing for the poor he encountered on his travels. Stewart retired from the American Sunday School Union in 1943 but continued to work as a clergyman until the mid-1950s. He never married and died in 1951.
