General Notes: Husband - John Kennedy Ewing, Jr.

---

He received his initial schooling in public and private schools, Uniontown, Pennsylvana; took his academic course at Hill school, Pottstown, and then entered LaFayette college where he remained up to the junior year. He then registered at Uniontown as a law student with his brothers Nathaniel and Samuel E. Ewing, but soon thereafter formed a partnership association with Charles H. Seaton to carry on a fire and life insurance agency at Uniontown under the firm name of Seaton & Ewing. Mr. Ewing retired from this business in the spring of 1881 to become a joint owner with O. J. Sturgis in editing and publishing the "Republican Standard." The firm of Ewing & Sturgis was dissolved in 1890 by the withdrawal of the latter, who accepted a position on the editorial staff of the Pittsburgh "Commercial Gazette." Mr. Ewing continued the publication of the "Standard" until the fall of 1893, when he disposed of the plant and good will of his paper to a company which consolidated the "Evening News" and "Evening Standard." During the period of his newspaper connection, Mr. Ewing became identified in an official way with the Uniontown Light and Heat Company, Fayette Gas Fuel Company and Connellsville, New Haven and Leisenring Street Railway Company and the demands upon his time of these interests necessitated his withdrawal from newspaper work. He was president of the former and secretary of the two latter companies. Upon the consolidation of the Electric Light and Illuminating Gas companies as the United Light Co., Mr. Ewing was elected president. He was one of the founders, and secretary for a time of the Fayette County Agricultural association and was similarly connected with the Uniontown Street Railway Company. He was a member of the Royal Arcanum, Improved Order of Heptasophs and Benevolent Protective Order of Elks.
