From 1887 to 1901 he was manager of the agencies of the Warder, Bushnell & Glessner Company of Chicago, Illinois. He married Ida G. Stewart (b.

The Stewarts were members of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago, Illinois. They joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 2, 1897, and in June 1901 they took the Normal class taught by Edward A.
