The lmpressive legacy of Ella P. Stewart

Twenty years ago this month Toledo lost one of its most distinguished citizens with the death of Ella P. Stewart at age 94. One of the first members of the Ohio Women's Hall of Fame, she was much more than the sum of her impressive accomplishments. Most area residents will know her as the namesake of the Ella P. Stewart Academy for Girls on Avondale Avenue, which was dedicated in 1961 as Ella P. Stewart Elementary School.
