Alexander Stewart was a Scottish American immigrant, lumberman, Republican politician, and pioneer settler of Wausau, Wisconsin. He served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Wisconsin's 9th congressional district from 1895 to 1901. From humble beginnings chopping lumber, he built a lumber empire with interests in nine states and Canada. Stewart Avenue, one of the main roads in Wausau, is named in his honor. His former home in Washington, D.C., is now the Embassy of Luxembourg. He had no grandchildren, so the bulk of his estate went to the Alexander and Margaret Stewart Trust, which has provided more than $125 million in grants for research on cancer and pediatric diseases.
