General Notes: Husband - Robert Allen Euwer
He was born on his great-grandfather's farm, the homestead of the family, and received his education in the common schools and at the Parnassus Academy. At nineteen he established himself as a butcher at Parnassus in partnership with J. D. Rowan, but at the end of one year sold out and went to Iowa where he was engaged with William Todd as a cattle shipper. He then returned to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and in 1881 again established himself as a butcher in Parnassus, continuing the business about three years. He was then engaged for about four years in the livery business at Parnassus, after which he once more established himself as a butcher, this time at Springdale, Allegheny County. He continued the business for thirteen years and then returned to Westmoreland County, where he purchased the furniture business of M. G. Euwer & Company, Ltd., entered into partnership with his brother, Archie Nelson Euwer, and established the business under the firm name of Euwer Brothers and Company. Beginning in 1891 Mr. Euwer was also president of the Springdale Building & Loan Association of Springdale, Allegheny County. His political support was given to the Republican party and he served on the council of Parnassus. He was a member and trustee of the Presbyterian church of Parnassus.
