Biographical Note

Justin Call Stewart (1912-1992) was born in Provo, Utah to Esther Call and John Riggs Stewart. He was educated in Salt Lake, graduating from the University of Utah in 1933. He received his M.A. from Teacher's College in Columbia, New York, in 1935. He married Martha Ross that same year and the couple subsequently had four children.

During his career, Stewart was elected to the Utah House of Representatives in 1949. Stewart earned a law degree from the University of Utah and was admitted to the Utah State Bar in 1960. As a Utah attorney, Stewart was active in organizations for senior citizens. From 1979 to 1983, he served as a volunteer lawyer for the Senior Law Center of the Utah Legal Service Corporation.
