Lived 57 Years On the Palo Duro
A pioneer familiarly known to many of the old residents of Texas county, Mr. Lincoln Ewing, passed away Sunday, February 27 at the home of his brother, Lew Ewing, at Laverne, Oklahoma. The body was brought from Buffalo, Oklahoma to the Range cemetery for burial, where services were held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, February 29.
Ministers conducting the service were S. J. Turner and S. J. Pruitt, assisted by Margorie and Myrtle Shorb and Mrs. Pafford who sang impressive songs. Pallbearers were Ray and Gene Shorb, Paul Johnson, Harry Brown, Ronald Shorb and Marion Pafford.
Lincoln Ewing, better known as “Link” was 83 years of age, and had lived in Texas county mostly on the Palo Duro, for more than 57 years. He is survived by two brothers of his immediate family, Lew Ewing of Laverne and Wm Ewing of Guymon, other relatives and hosts of friends.
Obituary
Lincoln Ewing son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel was born in Mahaska County, Iowa on the 11th day of January 1861 and departed this life at Laverne, Harper County, Oklahoma on the 27th day of February 1944.
When he was 21 years of age, he heeded the call of the West and located in Kansas, where he resided until 1887, when he moved to what was then Beaver County, Oklahoma, settling on the Palo Duro creek some eight miles southeast of Hardesty.
Link as he was familiarly known, adopted as his avocation, farming and ranching and continued to follow his chosen vacation so long as he was physically able.
He punched cattle on many of the ranches of Western Kansas and the Panhandle of Oklahoma and was widely and favorably known by the cattlemen of the great Southwest.
Link leaves as the only surviving members of a family of six, two brothers, William Ewing of Guymon and Lou Ewing of Laverne. In addition to his brothers he also leaves many close relatives and countless friends.
Link was an honest upright man and was greatly honored and highly respected by all who knew him. His life was simple and uneventful but he earned the distinction on which every great life is built upon which is love and tolerance of his fellow man.
