HONOR FATHER OF
MANY CHILDREN
CELEBRATES SEVENTY FIRST
BIRTHDAY BY BIG FAMILY
GATHERING

Marshalltown, Aug. 5.-To be the
father of eighteen children, sixteen oil
whom are living and to be the step
father of eight; to have fifteen OF the
twenty-four at home at one time, in ad
diticn to ten grandchildren, was the
most unusual experience that fell to
the lot of d. X. Ewalt, Of Bromley
when a big family celebration was
planned by the children In honor OF
their fathers seventy-first birthday
anniversary.
Mr.. Ewalt holds the record of Mar
shall county for paternity, according
to all information at hand, and for ma
ternity the present Mrs. Ewalt is not

lily gathering held last Sunday at the
Ewslt home. There we're also present
three of the stepchildren. and ten
grandchildren, or a total of twenty.
five children, stepchildren, and grand
children home at one time. Mr.. Ewalt
was II years old last Friday, but 1t
was impossible for the children to get
together for the celebration until Sun
day.
How Children Are Divided.
The Ewalt children, divided among
the four wives, are as follows: Wife
No. 1, /; wife No. g, g.; wife No. 3, A;
wife No. 4, Z. Wife NO. brought to
her husband one child by a former
marriage, and the present Mrs. Ewalt
had seven children as result of her
first marriage.
In addition to her own fourteen
children by her two husbands the pres,
ent Mrs. Ewalt inherited three step.
children, her first husband being the
father of three when he married his
second wife. The net comparison as
between Mr.. and Mrs. Ewalt, as to
their progeny, is: Mr.. Ewalt, father
of eighteen and stepfather of eight, a
total of twenty-six; Mrs. Ewalt,
mother of fourteen, and stepmother OF
fourteen, a total Of twenty-eight.
Children Who We're Present.
The children who were present at
the happy family gathering are as fol-
lows: Mrs. Roy Hayes, Des Moines
(Amy Ewalt); Charles Ewalt of Pilot
Mound; Mrs. Frances Mischief OF
Lime Springs MARY Ewalt); Mrs.
Carey Muller OF Bethel Grove (Effie
Ewalt); Mrs. ELAN Adams of Liscomb

who are living at home. Three step,
children, children of the present Mrs
Ewalt, in attendance at the reunion
were John and George Roberts. who
live at the Ewalt home, and Mrs. Pima
Moore, of Bromley. The married
children who we're home for the re.
union were accompanied by their hus.
bands or wives and children.

DEEDS PROPERTY TO
KEOKUK HOSPITAL

Keokuk, Aug. 5.-Frederick H. West
lived among the people OF keokuk for
sixty years, but today, when his body
Ia buried, scarcely a score or people
will mark his absence from their
midst. At Graham hospital Tuesday
he passed away.
A little property on Morgan street
between Tenth and Eleventh, which
had been the home Of Fred West for SO
years and in which he has lived unat
tended for thirteen years, since the
passing Of his wife, became, through
his death today, the property Of Ora
ham hospital, decided by the dying
man to the institution where he was
received six weeks ago and tenderly
cared for during his last days Of slow
decline. Not a relative Is known who
will mourn the passing of the aged
man, but friends who cared for him
since he was too weak to care fol
himself will give him the Christian
burial he desired.
It was in 1854 that Fred West came
to Keokuk with his parents, from
England, according to the Abatement
OF the man a few days before his
death His father bought the proper
Ity at 1910 Morgan street and erected
the little home In which the remainder
of Frederick Vests life was spent
The fathers will has been found on
record In the court house here. and In
1t there is bequeathed the sum of ~
to each OF Frederick's sisters, Their
living, and tho balance OF the estate tc
