Joel Ewing Dropped Dead While Fishing
Joel Ewing died of heart disease Tuesday afternoon, June 24, while he J. T. Brann, J. C. Kinney and himself were fishing on the bottom south of town. These gentlemen had gone to the Middle Fabius in the morning in Mr. Brann's car to fish, but found that stream too muddy so returned toward home, stopping at Monroe's slough. Several fish had been caught and they were joking one another. Mr. Brann was in a position where he could see Mr. Ewing's pole and line but not him. Hearing a noise in his direction he began chaffing him about the way he was throwing out fish. Inasmuch as Mr. Ewing did not answer, Mr. Brann investigated and found him lying down. He called Mr. Kinney, but the former had expired. A physician was summoned by telephone – a young man in a neighboring field being sent to Monroe's to send the message.
Joel Ewing was born January 19, 1843 in Pendleton County, Kentucky. He came to Scotland County when a young man, but remained only a short time, returning to his Kentucky home. He attended a primitive country school there, afterward attending high school ten months. In 1852 he cast his lot with the Confederates enlisting with Capt. Shawhan's company, later being transferred to the Fourth Kentucky Cavalry under Col. Giltner. He served until the termination of the war under such leaders as Gens John S. Williams, Longstreet and Morgan.
After the war he followed farming until 1869, when he came to Scotland County. In 1870 he married Mrs. Mahala Myers, a widow with four children - Margaret, Alfred, Mike and Joseph. Of this union four children were born – Brigham, Nannie, Lena and Daisy. The mother died in 1894 and in 1900 Mr. Ewing married Mrs. Helen McCandless, who survives.
Mr. Ewing began life with practically nothing and died as one of the leading citizens of this neighborhood. He won his way by grit, ability and worth. He took an interest in the progress and development of his home, city and county.
No arrangements are as yet made for the funeral and cannot be until word is received from his relatives.
