John was the son of Andrew & Jenny Glenn Ewing. On 15 June 1850 he married Almira Caroline Roach. They were the parents of Josephine and Clay.
After Almira's death, John remarried. On 18 Feb 1858 he married Mary McLeish.
They were the parents of 8 children-Almira Caroline, Margaret McLeish (Adams), Elizabeth (Jackson), Andrew Duncan, John G, Jenny, Eugene, and Ernest.
Ewing, Mr. John Smith was born in Vinton Co.
Ohio, April 30, 1828 and died Feb. 15, 1897, aged
70 years, 9 months and 15 days.
Bro. Ewing, know among his friends as "Uncle
John" was one of the charter members of the Jack-
son A. C. Church in Mo. Just how much we loved
and revered "Uncle John" words cannot tell, any
more that they can express the sorrow and grief,
with which we bade him a last weeping farewell, and
laid him to rest, where he had so ofter said he was
not afraid to sleep, until Jesus shall call him from
his dreamless, peaceful slumber to an eternal life
throughout the blissful ages of a deathless world.
Uncle John had not only served us as a faithful
member in the church, but he had served us in the
schoolroom and in the capitol of our state, being
chosen in 1886 as a Representative of Worth county.
But Uncle John is dead. No more will the church
or schoolroom or the capitol ring with his voice
in defense of truth, liberty and justice. His place
will be taken by others, but to us who knew and loved
him it can never be filled. He leaves a wife and
eight children to mourn his loss. Funeral services
were conducted by the writer at the Lott's Grove
chapel.
How shall we feel when in future we gather
In the church of his choice, near his old home place,
And feel the more keenly the loss of our father,
As we miss his aged and kind looking face.
How shall we feel, when in glad social meeting
We speak of our hope in the Kingdom to meet,
To hear never more the words of his greeting
As he joins in our service in fellowship sweet.
How shall we feel when inviting the sinner
To flee from God's wrath before the Great Day,
Or trying to cheer up a fainting beginner
To miss his strong words as we kneel down to pray.
Oh sad will it be to gather without him
To hears his advice and entreaty no more;
But will form ever youthful and eyes never dim
We shall meet him again on the new earth's fair
shore.
