Biography

Stephen A. Northway spent his early years in Ohio, embracing the study of law and the responsibilities of local and state leadership before taking his seat in the United States House of Representatives. A thoughtful legislator, he drew upon his rural upbringing to speak for small towns and veterans, and he conducted his public service with the courtesy and steadiness that defined his life.

After his congressional terms, he returned to his legal practice and remained a trusted figure in his home community, always ready to encourage civic improvement and remember the sacrifices of those who served alongside him. His interment at Oakdale Cemetery marks the resting place of a man whose career balanced national service with deep loyalty to his neighbors.
