Mrs. Adeline Ewing
Adeline McAnulty Ewing was born in Bethel community near Russellville, Pope county, Arkansas, February 8, 1840, and died at her home Saturday May 22, 1915, at the age of 75 years, 3 months and 14 days.
The early years of Mrs. Ewing's life were spent on a farm in Bethel.Her father was called home when she was yet a child.Thus she was early launched on a stormy voyage which,though the winds were abated at times never ended until her death.
In 1869 she was wooed and won by Winter Ewing, a prosperous young farmer, who took her to his father's house in the Prairie Grove community.Mr. Ewing went on before in 1905,
It was at this home her husband prepared for that "Grandma" spent her remaining years, here that she was joyous, here that she was sad, and here it was that she at last moored her boat on the other shore.
"Grandma" was a young woman when the great conflict between the North and South was waged, that accepted the death of a brother as toll.The sorrow was met uncomplainingly as were other hardships, and unpleasant duties then prevalent.Her entire life was one of fortitude, sacrifice, and usefulness;as a helpful, devoted wife she also proved a loving mother and true friend.Early in life she was converted and joined the Presbyterian church and though she was seldom able to attend church, she stayed true to her conversion and during the last illness her Bible was always on the bed beside her.The last moments were peaceful and fitting the close of a well spent life.
Besides a host of friends and relatives she leaves to mourn her departure one brother, Bob McAnulty, of Bethel, one daughter, Mary E. , and two grandsons, Clarence and Almon.A son Joseph, and a little daughter, preceded her to the grave.The remains were laid to rest in the old Cove cemetery Sunday morning, May 23, 1915.
