William Ewing Passes Suddenly Last Friday.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

William S. Ewing, the son of Jake and Alice Ewing, was born near Postville, Iowa, on August 26, 1881, and passed away at his home in Postville, May 15, 1936, at the age of 54 years, eight months and 19 days.

On June 6, 1907, he was united in marriage with Miss Hannah Willis. Five children were born to them; Robert, William, Hazel, Mabel and Gladys.

Though Mr. Ewing traveled extensively the greater portion of his life has been spent in this vicinity.

Mr. Ewing is survived by his wife and their five children, and by four sisters, Mrs. Walter White and Mrs. Cora Brainard of Luana, Mrs. Alfreda Smith and Mrs. Bertha Thomas of Postville, and by three brothers, George, Edward and Charles, all of Postville.

Mr. Ewing was a genial gentleman to meet and by his genial good nature made many friends, all of whom join in expressing their sympathy with the bereaved family.

The funeral was held from the Community Presbyterian church in this city on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. R. F. Galloway officiating, and the large assemblage of sorrowing friends in attendance fully attested the respect in which he was held in a community that has been his home throughout his earthly career. Interment was made in Postville cemetery.
