General Notes: Husband - Matthew Gill Euwer

---

He was reared on a farm, and when sixteen years old began teaching school, which profession he followed five years. For many years he was engaged in mercantile business in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, and in 1886 he opened a store in partnership with his brother at Verona. May 1, 1888, James B. Meeds became a partner, and the firm became Euwer Brothers & Co. Mr. Euwer was a tireless worker in the church of the Covenanters, and was one of the organizers of the Eighth Street Church, Pittsburgh, in which he was the first deacon elected. After engaging in business in Verona, he took up his residence in Parnassus in order to rear his family in the church of his fathers.

When seventeen years of age he began teaching school, which profession he followed for three years, and then accepted a position in a store in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. Later he engaged in business on his own account, but met with failure in the widespread financial panic of 1873, when so many business men went down. He afterward accepted a clerkship, and thus worked until he had satisfied his creditors. He then engaged in business for himself at Parnassus, where he remained for six years. Later he transferred his business to Verona, where he remained up to the time of his retirement from business life. He then again took up his abode in Parnassus, where he lived retired. He belonged to the Reformed Presbyterian church, in which he served as elder for many years.
