LEE D. EWING, M.D.,

postoffice, Cornelia.  Where there are so many good citizens and worthy
men as this township contains, it would be hardly probable in our brief
sketches that full justice would be done, but we should feel our task
was not complete without special mention of Dr. Lee D. Ewing.  He is a
native of Lafayette county, this state, born at Lexington, July 24,
1848.  W.P. Ewing, his father, was a native of Kentucky, and a gentleman
who was prominently connected with many of the large interests of that
earlier day.  He was a Santa Fe trader, and was the person who settled
the Geyser Springs of California, about 1857.  His grandfather was also
a Kentuckian, and his great-grandfather on his mother's side was of
revolutionary fame.  Lee was with his father in California during his
early years, and went with him to Texas in 1860.  Joined the 32d Texas
volunteers in 1862, and served until the close of the war.  Was with
Col. Wood, of the 1st regiment, for about a year.  After the war he
attended school, and was a graduate of St. Louis Medical College in
1870.  Was married to Miss Bettie Harris, of Lafayette county, daughter
of Duke Harris, a prominent citizen of that county.  They have four
children: Delman H., Finis Waldo, Duke and Lee B.  Dr. Ewing moved to
Johnson county in 1871, and practiced medicine at Rose Hill for a year,
and then removed to his present home in Post Oak township, nine miles
south and one and a half miles east of Warrensburg.  The doctor is now
Worshipful Master of Cold Spring Lodge, A.F. & A.M., and a man whose
gentlemanly demeanor toward strangers soon places them among his
friends.  Post Oak township fully appreciates the firm of Ward & Ewing
as medical men, whose practice is not even confined to this county.
