EWING BURIAL SITE
Checked out November 2, 1974 by H. A. Dieter, Mrs. Phyllis Hansen and
Keith Brewer. The location is 3/4 mile south of Sabin on County Trunk
E; thence 1 mile on a town road to the present Harold Robinson
farm, Sec. 23. The plot lies in the extreme NE corner of the original
Wm. Ewing 85 acre tract which is joined on the south by another 40
acres on which stands the Ewing residence. The old homestead is
accessible from the south by a road leading off of the Pine Valley
road, which begins at the Mill Creek exit leading NW off of County
Trunk E. The burial site overlooks the valley from the north. It is
still well fenced and has an iron lawn gate at the entrance. There
presently considerable undergrowth over the area. Three gravestones
have fallen while four are still standing, one of the latter being of a
more modern pattern of the early 1900's. This was an early family
burial ground, begun in 1862. The last burial was that of Wm.
Ewing in 1932. His father Joshua, Sr., took land here in the early
1850's. After his death in 1879 it became the property of his son
William. There are eight known burials.
