Richard Hooker Ewart was a member of a family which has been long and honorably associated with Belfast, Northern Ireland, being the third son of the late Sir William Ewart, M. P. and 1st Baronet, Glenmachen. He was a brother of Sir WIlliam Quartus Ewart, 2nd Baronet, Glenmachen.
Born in 1848, early in life he received a thorough training in the linen business which was then carried out by his father under the title of Messrs. William Ewart and Son and in 1868 he was sent to New York to represent the firm's interests. In this position he acquitted himself with rare ability. He was gifted with great organizing powers and enterprise. Largely through his efforts the trade of the concern on the other side of the Atlantic increased extensively, and Ulster's staple manufactures became better and more widely known.
A man of sterling character, he was held in high esteem by all with whom he came in contact. He took a deep interest in various charitable and philanthropic institutions, especially hospital work, and he was a warm supporter of and a generous contributor to every good cause.
Up until five years ago Mr. Ewart regularly visited Belfast, sometimes twice a year, and he was always pleased to call on old acquaintances and to notice the industrial progress of the city.
In 1875 he married Miss Frances Melbourne Talbot, daughter of the late Mr. Charles Potts Talbot, of Lowell, Massachusetts. This lady predeceased him in 1913, but he leaves one son, Mr. Ewart Talbot, who lives in New York City. With him and the other relatives, sincere sympathy will be felt in their bereavement.
