J. N. Steward, county superintendent of schools of Campbell County, is a native of Harrison County, Ky., and is the second in a family of four children born to W. H. and E. A. (Webb) Steward.  W. H. Steward was born in Indiana, and Mrs. Stewart, a native of Harrison County, Ky., was a daughter of Rev. Charles and Elizabeth (Davis) Webb, the latter a relative of Jefferson Davis, of Confederate fame. 

J. N. Steward was educated in the schools of his native county, and, with the single purpose of becoming a teacher, he began teaching at the age of seventeen, and taught fourteen successive years, until declining health caused him to withdraw his efforts from this, his favorite vocation.  He began the study of law in 1880, and was admitted to the bar in 1884, in the county where he is now practicing law, and superintending the common schools. 

Mr. Stewart married Ella Richey, of Walton, Boone Co., Ky., daughter of Milton P. and Mary E. (Bruce) Richey, December 27, 1877.  To them have been born three children: Virgil, Ethel and Myrtle.  Mr. Stewart is a Democrat in politics, and a member of the Baptist Church.
