| Info | Thomas Stuart was born on April 2, 1846, in Meigs County, Ohio. He was educated in Illinois and in Iowa. At the age of 16, he enlisted in Company C, Eighteenth Regiment of the Iowa Infantry and served three years during the Civil War. When his duty in the infantry ended, Stuart began his legal career with the law firm of Stuart Brothers at Chariton, Iowa. In 1867, he was admitted to the Iowa bar and practiced law in that state until he moved to Denver in 1882.
Stuart was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in 1884. When the fifth session of the General Assembly convened, he was chosen Speaker of the House. He was re-elected to the House of Representatives in 1886 and was again selected Speaker for the 1887-1888 biennium. After two terms in the legislature, Stuart served as a district judge for the Second Judicial District from 1889 to 1890.
Stuart remained active in the legal profession and became associated with the firm of Stuart and Murray. In 1913, he relocated to Hawaii to accept the position as the first judge for the Hawaiian Circuit Court in Honolulu. He held the position of circuit judge for three years, at which time he returned to Denver. He died in 1926 in Denver.
