OBITUARY

James Ewing, for 13 years a resident of the Payette bench passed away on the 
afternoon of Sept. 13, at his ranch eight miles this side of Emmett. He was 
past his 75th birthday, being born at Fall River, Mass., June 30, 1834. At the 
age of fourteen he moved with his parents to the northern part of Ohio near 
Cleveland. During the war he went to Cincinnati where he married Elizabeth 
Goble. A very happy union, to whom two children, Abbie and George R. were 
born. For many years, Mr. Ewing was in railroad employ, finally under the 
stress of failing health coming to Idaho, and settling on the Payette bench 
when it was a sagebrush desert. 

Mr. Ewing and his family have been important factors in the development of the 
moral and religious life of the Payette bench as also in the building up of 
the Baptist church at Payette, of which he was for many years a worthy deacon. 
Active until the last, his final sickness was brief but accompanied with much 
suffering. Always and everywhere a true Christian gentleman, Mr. Ewing will be 
greatly missed by a large circle of friends. Loving sympathy is especially 
expressed to the members of the bereaved family, Mrs. Elizabeth Ewing, Mrs. A. 
E. Pomeroy and George Ewing. 

The funeral was held at the Payette Baptist church, with interment at 
Riverside cemetery.
