History
David Alexander Stewart was born in 1874 in Ontario, moved to Manitoba in 1892 with his parents Francis Beattie Stewart and Elizabeth Farquharson and trained as a medical doctor. He became Medical Superintendent at the Tuberculosis Sanatorium in Ninette, Manitoba from 1909 to his death in 1937. In the late 1920s he wrote to Dr. John Stewart of Halifax, Nova Scotia, requesting help with a “Lister Day” oration, in honour of John Stewart’s mentor Joseph Lord Lister. The two men re-established a family friendship begun when their parents were neighbours in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and together with David’s uncle Donald R. Farquharson, began corresponding with one another until John Stewart’s death in 1933. David Stewart continued corresponding with John’s sisters.
