    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 W. 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 was an honest man,
  diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. Intellectually and
  morally, he was taller by far than any of his fellows. His mental acumen was
  very great, even brilliant. He took a great interest in the education of the
  youth around him. He served as school director for a number of terms, giving
  his best service, for he was a man of remarkable powers of observation, of good
  judgment and splendid tact, which he used conscientiously for the benefit of
  schools and teachers. His life ever stood for good morals and faithfulness. 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,
  without ostentation, humbly and acceptably, as unto the Lord. His habit was to
  attend upon divine services regularly. The Bible was the greatest of all books
  to him. Being a man of great courage, he was ready through divine grace to make
  sacrifices and do hard things for his Master in heaven, whom he served with awe
  and reverence. In this atmosphere he lived, in this atmosphere his life of love
  and service went out, peacefully, hopefully, trusting divine grace for uttermost
  salvation. Gone to rest. The many (unable to decipher) ones whom he has helped
  will ever cherish sweet memories of him. The world has been made better for
  ‘Squire Ewing have lived in it.
    
    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.
