Ewing, Thomas - Obituary
Another PionEeer has Departed
     EWING - At Huntington, Gallia, Ohio, May 27th, 1874, Thomas Ewing, aged 86 years, 9 months and 27 days. Thomas Ewing was born in Bath (now Pocahontas) county, Virginia, July 20th, 1788, was married to Miss Austis Killison (in)1810, and emigrated to Ohio that same year; settled in Huntington township, Gallia county, remained on the same farm 57 years, and cleared over 100 acres of the same. He was early trained to the use of fire-arms and the huntsman's art, and known far and near as an expert in each. When he came here this was an almost untrodden wilderness, no roads, mills or bridges, no school-house or place of public worship. The savory meat of the deer, the wild turkey and the bear, with meal pounded in a mortar and baked on a board, served as a rough but wholesome fare for the first few years of his married life. His earnest toil and trusty rifle , furnished abundance to meet the wants of himself and family—seven girls and two boys—all of whom arrived at years of maturity.
     He served ten years in succession as Township Trustee, and nine years Justice of the Peace. Always voted the Whig ticket until the demise of that party, since which he has been a staunch Republican. Becoming too old to labor for his subsistence, and having lost the partner of his youth, he some years ago, sold his farm and moved to Ewington, where he died a christian's death and awaits the resurrection of the just. He was a man of more than ordinary brain, and retained, in a great measure, the vigor of his intellect to the last. Peace to his ashes.
