Notes - Stew Clark grew up in Guelph and became a close friend of his cousin Gerald Rutherford, who lived there for a period. He played the piano and was active in theatre. He graduated from the University of Toronto in 1912, whereupon he entered Osgoode Hall, graduating in 1915. He then enlisted with the 64th Guelph Battery of the Royal Canadian Artillery but an injury suffered during training prevented him from serving overseas. Upon discharge, he obtained a position as purchasing agent with the Partridge Rubber Co. Stew joined the staff of barrister Nicol Jeffrey, appointed a Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario in 1928, at which time Stew opened his own law practice and later associated with J.K. Blair, QC. He acted for 13 years as Guelph city solicitor and 10 years as a member of the Ontario Parole Board. He was appointed a King's Counsel in 1934. He served as a Judge of Wellington County Court for 18 years. Stew was actively involved at one time or another in the Liberal party, the Masonic Lodge, and various other clubs as well as being an elder of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. After a period of poor health, he was reconsidering a decision to retire when he died of a heart seizure.
