DEATH OF A. G. EWING

The subject of this brief sketch, who died at Baileyville, Pa., last Friday morning, March 23, 1894, was born and lived his whole life in the beautiful valley of Spruce Creek.

He was about 67 years old. He was a life of rugged toil. His ceaseless energy and indomitable will bore rich fruit in his life. He taught in the common schools about 20 years. Afterwards he engaged in the mercantile business, in which he continued up to the close of his life. He embarked in this line of business first at Franklinville, Pa. Later he, with his son William G., opened up a store at Mt. Union, Pa., where they did a thriving business. He, however, sold his store at Franklinville and removed to Baileyville.

He served as school director for a number of terms. He was a most devoted, humble Christian, a member of the Graysville Presbyterian church for years. He served as Sunday school superintendent for many years.

He had three living children-W. G., of Mt. Union; J. R., of Portland, Ore., and Miss Annie, who ministered so faithfully and lovingly to her father.

Rev. Oliver and Rev. D. H. Campbell assisted Rev. Armentrout, his pastor, in the solemn and appropriate service. Interment in Graysville cemetery.
