ESTEEM OF FELLOW CITIZENS.
He WAS One OF the Most FROG resstvc
Men Of the City-Mceting of
Hnr Association.

Brcnham, Texas September 29.-There
is time in this life when the heart is SO
burdened with sorrow that the weight OF
gi.ei can not be measured with words.
There rs time when we must surrender
TO the impartial mandates of death some
object around which the tondrils Of our
hearts have grown until it seems 10 be n
life Tart of our own.
such a time has arrived with the writer
partner Of his hopes ard aspirations. VIII
liam p. Ewing lies cold in death.
The ties of friendship. sealed with a1mi-
ration, love and respect have been cruelty
severed and the curtain of dark despair
lowers around us until hope grows faint
and the heart sickens.
The whole city mourns his unt4mely de-
mise while he was yet in the morling OF
his usefulness
Just IA tcw short days ago the deceased
was hearty and Well and today he lies a
cGfpse, the victim of typhoid fever. Mr.
Ewing never believed himself seriously
sick unt.l a day or Two before his deatn,
and refused 10 call physician until the
shadow OF the death angel Vas almost VS.
lele. All medical assistance possible was
then summoned and every effort known TO
the medical profession WAS iesorted 10 10
save his life, but without avail.
His wife, Miss Breedlove, daughter of
George w Breedlove. preceded him TO the
tomb some tive years ago. TWO sweet 1T
tie daughters Louise and Josephine, are
by his sad death left in orphanage.
Mr.. Ewug was not only Il moving but
n leading spirit in every enterprise that
tended to the citys upbuildng.
The entire fire department turned out TO
his funeral IN uniform, and the Second reg
lment band led the cortege TO Prairie Lea
cemetery. where he was laid to rest beside
his wife.
Rev. G. S. Tumbln. formerly pastor Of
the First Baptist church here but now OF
Broadway Baptist church. Fort Worth,
came down this morning and officinted ut
the funeral service, which was held at the
cemetery on account of the serious illness
OF one OF his little orphaned daughters and
his sister. Miss Bessie Ewing, who are al
flicted with the same malady that proved
fatal to him.
The funeral procession was one OF the
largest chat ever wnded its way to Prairie
Lea cemetery and 4 full attest of the high
esteem in which he was held.
The floral emblems were rendered in pro-
fusion, but. as come one has beautifully
said, II every Kind act OF his life had been
represented with blossom, and all heaped
upon his grave. the aspiring monument
would kiss the clouds.
He combined In him all the nob'esi at
tributes OF man, and yet he was only fairly
beginning the life OF promise that was he
fore him. He had passed the morn and
liquid dew of youth, hut his work was not
| complete The shaft he reared lacked tnt
capital. But that which remains to tell US
IL, In, IL f,ty
and promise that we may not question
what the grace OF his ultimate perfection
would have been, It is eloquent of all
that was truest and best in man.
