Ewing, Mrs. Comfort P. Ewing
Source: Spirit of Democracy August 30, 1894
Died, at her home in Washington township, Monroe county, Ohio, August 8, 1894, Mrs. Comfort P. Ewing, aged 80 years, 9 months, and 3 days. Mrs. Ewing was born in Marion county, W. VA., November 5, 1813, and came to Monroe county, Ohio, in her twenty-first year. She was married to Absolom D. Ewing in 1841. To this happy union were born four daughters and one son, four of whom and her aged husband, still survive her. In 1880 Mrs. Ewing was afflicted with rheumatism and since that time has been unable to walk. She bore her affliction with great patience and during the last few days of her life, she was careful not to be of trouble to anyone.
We were called to her bedside some days before her departure from this life, and while we sang for her, she raised her feeble hands in praise to Him who had been her consolation during those long years of suffering and who now bade her come up higher.
A large concourse of friends and neighbors followed her to the Liberty cemetery where her remains were laid to rest.
Will Grandmother be missed? Oh, yes. While she had been deprived of society at large for a long time, yet she had many friends who anxiously inquired after her, and many were the calls made especially to see her. To the bereaved friends we would say that you do not mourn as those that have no hope; but to you she has left a shining evidence that “all is well,” and she has gone home to enjoy the blessings laid up for the faithful. May the same wooing Spirit that supported Grandmother through the valley and shadow of death lead us on until we too may reach the portals of eternal bliss.
Oh! Who would call her back again
To this dark world of woe?
Oh! Who would ever know the pain
Which she did undergo.
Now free from sorrow, pain and death,
New light and love she’ll find,
And waft glad tidings with sainted breath
To those she leaves behind.
Farewell! yes, for a little while,
Till we our work have done
Then we shall see the maternal smile
Around our Father’s throne.
