When he discontinued making reg
ular trips to his office i'll Wall Street
several months after he had passed
his 99th birthday anniversary, John
Aikman Stewart insisted that he had
not retired, but merely was acting
upon the advice of his physician. For
several years previous to that time
he had gone by automobile three
times each week from his home at
Morristown. n. j., to attend to his
duties as chairman of the board of
the United States Trust Company.
He was suffering no physical all
ments at the time and the discon-
tinuance of the trips to his office
was suggested by his physician as
a means of conserving HIS strength.
Emphasizing his declaration that he

routine almost to the time of his
death, keeping in touch with the af-
fairs of his office and with the gen.
eral news of the world by reading
two newspapers daily.

birthday anniversary that year. The
