| EWING | CAPT. PATRICK EWING. A Short Sketch of His Life. Died at the residence of his son-in-law, LeGrand Ratekin, on the 25th day of July 1879, Captain Patrick Ewing, in the 87th year of his age. Captain Ewing was born in Lee county, Virginia, on the second day of December, 1792 and came to Missouri in 1814, and to Callaway county in 1816. He built the first house in Callaway county out side of Cote Sans Dessein early in 1817. He was a Captain in the Black Hawk war and the second sheriff of the county. The exact time when he became a mentor of the Regular Baptist Church is not known to this writer, but it was not far from the year 1840, and he ever afterward lived a consistent member of that body. By his first wife he had nine children; three sons and six daughters; two sons and three daughters survive him, all of whom were present when he died except one son, who resides in Texas. Perhaps no person was held in higher esteem by those who knew him than Captain Ewing. He was generous to a fault, and no one held ostentation of any kind in greater contempt. He of late years, often spoke of his departure as something he dreaded only on account of bodily , and expressed himself as being ready and willing to go whenever the Father should call him. He is the last of his father's family, except a sister who was still living at last accounts. Callaway Weekly Gazette, Fulton, Callaway County, Missouri, August 8, 1879 | |

At any time through the night one could hear him praying. A prayer service was held in his home a few weeks ago and he shouted the praise of God with is feeble voice. He said to Bro. Floyd Rogers, "Bro. Rogers, this is the best prayer meeting I was ever in." He tried to help his friends in every way he could. If anyone was sick, he would go to see them, and would say, "I'm glad they don't think I'm too old to help." The funeral service was conducted by Bro. J. L. BEATTY at Riverview Church and his body was laid to rest in the Riverview Cemetery to await the morning of the first resurrection.
