JAMES SHUART, of Ramseys, Bergen County, is the grandson of Adolphus Shuart, who fought in the War for Independence. His maternal grandfather, John Sutherland, was in the War of 1812, and received a pension of $12 per month up to the time of his death. The Shuarts are of German ancestry, but have made their home in Bergen County since coming to America.

Mr. Shuart is the son of Henry A. Shuart and a grandson of Adolphus Shuart, and was born in Hohokus Township, Bergen County, August 19, 1844. After receiving a limited education in the common schools he began business in the dry goods and grocery trade in Orange County, N. Y. This proved successful, and in 1870 he came to Ramseys, where he opened a meat market. This also became a profitable business, and in 1896 he retired. Mr. Shuart is a Free Mason and a prominent Odd Fellow. He served three years as a member and President of the Board of Education, and was recently elected to serve three more years in the same capacity. He has also served as Assessor and Road Commissioner of Hohokus Township for three years. In politics he is a Democrat. He and his family attend the Lutheran Church.

Mr. Shuart was married at the age of seventeen to Susan Jane Hunter, daughter of David Hunter, of Orange County. N. Y. They had one son, Franklin Shuart, of Ramseys. Mr. Shuart's first wife died in 1868, and he married, in 1872, Miss Eleanor N. Litchult, of Brooklyn, N. Y. They have had four children: Elizabeth, who married Albert G. May, of Ramseys; Eva R., who married S. G. Conklin, of Newburgh, N. Y., and died at the age of twenty and one-half years; Harry, formerly a student at Peddie Institute and now a student at Yale College; and Edna, at home.
