   JOHN EWING, farmer, P. O. Vanlue, born in September, 1839, in Amanda
Township, Hancock Co., Ohio, is a son of Samuel and Rebecca (Alspach) Ewing,
natives of Maryland, and who were among the early pioneer children of Fairfield
County, Ohio, where they married. They came to Hancock County, Ohio, in 1834,
where Samuel Ewing entered eighty acres and bought part of another eighty-acre
tract of land in Section 28, Amanda Townsh.jp. Here they began life as pioneer
settlers of the county, cutting the first timber, putting up the first cabin on
the land, and making a home for their family. This old home farm is now owned by
Henry Davis. Samuel Ewing was the father of seven children: Levi; Rosilla, wife
of David Alspach; William I.; Christiann, widow of Mr. Gordon, who resides in
Michigan; John; Lavina (deceased) and Lucinda (deceased). The subject of this
sketch married, in 1862, Lovica, daughter of Peter Shoemaker. Their union has
been blessed with five children: Delia D., Ella J., Jay, Orra and Bell V. Mr.
Ewing is a thorough farmer and a good business man. He purchased the farm on
which he now lives, in Section 16, Amanda Township, this county, from J. Lemont.
He has filled the office of assessor, also that of school director of Amanda
Township.
