General Notes: Wife - Letitia "Letty" McCurdy

---

In her prime she was about five and a half feet in height, and weighed from one hundred and forty to one hundred and sixty pounds. Near the end of her life, her head was covered with a luxuriant growth of not very gray hair. Until one hundred and three years of age she was able to walk about, but at that time met with a fall by means of which a leg was broken, and dislocated, which confined her to her bed. Her appetite was in a normal condition, and she ate occasionally four or five times per day. Her residence was with her son, John A. Ewing, South Bend township, Armstrong County, though she resided for many years with her son Hugh M. on the Indiana and Armstrong county line. She was for many years, a constant and inveterate smoker of tobacco.

She died when one hundred and seven years old.
