Early Life
Stuart was born in Caradoc, Ontario on August 13, 1894. He attended Middlesex County College and then the University of Toronto, graduating from the latter in 1891 with a gold medal in classics; he subsequently lectured there in constitutional history. He graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 1894 with a Bachelor of Laws, and was admitted to the Law Society of Upper Canada in 1896.
He practiced briefly in Ontario before falling ill, prompting him to travel to Mexico to recuperate. In the spring of 1897, he travelled west to stay at his brother's ranch. In February 1898, he moved to Calgary and set up a law practice with Peter McCarthy, K.C. McCarthy died in 1901, at which time Stuart joined Sifton and Short, one of whose partners was future Premier of Alberta Arthur Sifton.
