Edmond Lee Stewart, known as E. L. Stewart (March 22, 1872 – January 11, 1956),was a lawyer from a prominent family in his native Minden in Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana, USA. From 1904 to 1908 he was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives during the administration of Governor Newton Blanchard.
Stewart was the fifth of seven children of Douglad (correct spelling) Stewart, Jr. (1826-1884), a native of Sampson County in southern North Carolina who was reared in Georgia, and the former Sarah Frances Culbertson (1840-1885), a native of Coosa County in central Alabama. Douglad Stewart farmed in Alabama before relocating to Webster Parish. After the death of his first wife, Mary Elizabeth Culbertson (1830-1860), he wed her sister, E. L. Stewart's mother. E. L.'s half-siblings from the father's first marriage included William Green Stewart (1854-1925), the namesake of the former William G. Stewart Elementary School in Minden, and Daniel Webster Stewart, Sr. (1857-1935), the oldest living member of the Webster Parish Bar Association at the time of his death.
On May 17, 1897, E. L. Stewart graduated from Tulane University Law School in New Orleans. One of his classmates was the later U.S. Senator John H. Overton and the future state Attorney General Bolivar Edwards Kemp, Jr. After his single term in the state House, Stewart was succeeded in the position by Robert Roberts, Jr., a former short-term mayor of Minden and a later a state court judge and the maternal grandfather of later Governor Murphy J. "Mike" Foster, Jr.
