General Notes: Husband - Hon. Samuel Evans Ewing


He attended Madison and Mantua academies and then entered Princeton college, from which institution he was graduated with the class of 1872. In January, 1873, he entered the National Bank of Fayette County to learn banking and remained in association therewith until March, 1874, when he accompanied Colonel Thomas B. Searight to Denver, Colorado, whither the latter went to assume the duties of Surveyor General of Colorado. Mr. Ewing filled the position of chief clerk of the surveyor general's office at Denver until June, 1875, when he returned to Fayette County. Prior to his entering the bank he had registered with the late Judge Willson as a law student and had passed the preliminary examination. Upon his return to Uniontown, Pennsylvania, he resumed the study of law and was admitted to the bar in September, 1876, after which time he was continuously engaged in the practice of his profession in Uniontown. For the first four years of this period he was in partnership association with his brother, Judge Nathaniel Ewing. From 1878 to 1888 he assumed the management of the sixteen hundred acre farm of Col. Samuel Evans, a business which necessarily absorbed a very large share of his time. Mr. Ewing was one of the incorporators of the United Light Co., Light and Heat Co. and Street Railway Co., of Uniontown. He was a member of the boards of directors of these companies, and was for a time president of the last named, and was one of the directory of the Fayette Gas Fuel Co. He was one of the directors of the Fayette County agricultural association during the period when that association was at the height of its usefulness. Mr. Ewing was one of the builders and was a part owner of the Blackstone building in which his offices were located.
He and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian church, the board of deacons of which Mr. Ewing was a member.
He was commissioned as additional law judge of Fayette County by Governor Stone, on November 22, 1899, to fill a vacancy occasioned by Judge Mestrezat's resignation and served on the bench until January, 1900.
