BIOGRAPHY: TFG-25,26 - Edgar Stewart was educated at the Albany Boys' Academy graduating in 1875. He first became Superintendent of Construction for the Albany District Telegraph Co., later the Commercial Telephone Co. He joined the US Corp of Engineers to help improve the Hudson River. In 1908 he was made president of the Street Railway Ass'n. of the State of NY. He was a Democrat and a member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, where he sang in the choir. In 1910 he lived at 1003 Madison Ave., New York City.
Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs: Fassett - He received his education at the old Albany Boys' Academy, from which he was graduated in 1875, in a class composed of a number of youths who became well-known citizens. He was first appointed the superintendent of construction for the Albany District Telegraph Company, which was then in its infancy, and had charge of the constructive work on all of its lines. When that organization was absorbed by the Commercial Telephone Company, of Albany, he was likewise associated with it, continuing until 1883, when he severed his connection to join the United States corps of engineers engaged in making a survey for carrying out extensive improvements along the Hudson river. It was in the year 1885 that he first developed an interest for railroading, which ultimately resulted in his being known all over this country. It was then that he became connected with what was known as The Albany Railway Company, before the days of electrical service, and when the conduct of that road seriously required betterment in many directions. He was made assistant manager, and a great share of the duties fell upon him, as well as the work of originating improved methods and a systematizing of affairs generally. When this line was reorganized in 1899, as The United Traction Company, he was made general superintendent and general manager in 1906 for the greatly enlarged concern, which then included lines running into Troy, Cohoes, Green Island, Waterford, Rensselaer, Watervliet, and other places, so that he was in a position to exert active management which could bring about marked advancement. His achievements would read like the recent history of the progress of the company; but perhaps an example of his foresight and ability as an executive is best shown by the actual results of the rules laid down by him, which demonstrate the rarity of fatalities brought about by any inadvertence of his company. In the summer of 1907 he was elected vice-president of the Street Railway Association of the State of New York, at its annual meeting held at Bluff Point, New York, and in 1908, at the convention held in Niagara Falls, he was chosen president of the same body, and presided at its annual convention held in June, 1909, at Bluff Point. He has always been a staunch Democrat in politics, but has never held an elective office. He is an attendant of St. Peter's Episcopal Church and a member of the following organizations, as well as being a director on all the boards of the United Traction Company and subsidiary companies, the Fort Orange, the Albany Country, the Troy, the Glens Falls, and the Lake George clubs. He was one of the founders of the Albany Musical Association, and at one time a member of the choir of St. Peter's Church. ... Mr. and Mrs. Fassett resided in 1910 at No. 1003 Madison avenue, Albany, New York.
