*McEWEN, William Harrison
William Harrison McEwen enlisted as a Private August 22, 1862, and
served in that capacity with the company until the Sharpshooters'
Battalion was organized, when he left the company, being attached
to that organization. He participated in every battle, march or
skirmish in which the company or Sharpshooters were engaged and
escaped without wounds or serious sickness. Private McEwen was
thoroughly posted and conversant with the original causes of the
war, and was a soldier from principle and faith in the cause of
our country. After the war he resumed business as a contractor
and sawyer at Oakdale, Pa., but the exposure and hardships of army
life had broken his health, and after a lingering illness he died
October 20, 1871, at his home on the old homestead farm near
McDonald, Pa., and was buried in the "Hill Church" cemetery. He
was a son of the late John R. McEwen, one of the early settlers
of Fayette Township, Allegheny County, Pa., and is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Sue McEwen, and his son, John C. McEwen, of Oakdale;
and one brother, Geo. W. McEwen, of Chetopa, Kansas.
