Obituary

David McEwen died at his home at 1229 East Austin street Saturday morning at 5 o'clock. He was 80 years old and had been suffering for some time with stomach trouble.
He leaves a wife and three sons--Jasper, of Galena; Bert, of Fort Scott, and Richard, of Nevada, to mourn his death.
Mr. McEwen came to Vernon county about 45 years ago, and settled in Montevallo township, but has lived in Nevada for several years. He was a member of the Baptist church and a conscientious Christian man.
The funeral will be held at the residence Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Burial will be at Deepwood under the auspiecs of the G. A. R. of which Mr. McEwen was a member. (The Weekly Post)

Death cert #30262.
Birth date has been recorded as 11/31/1840 but of course there is no 31 in November.
Sadly as near as I can tell this cemetery is now a cultivated field with no sign it is the burial place of many. Jarrott Cox
Note: I have a contributor lately tell me this is not the case.

Notes for Asbury S. (Spouse 1)
Co K 24th IN Inf
Died of smallpox at Arsenal Island, St Louis MO
Reburied in Jefferson Barracks in 1876
"In 1876, 470 unknown Union remains were transferred from Arsenal Island in Illinois, the U.S. Army's contagious disease hospital located on an island in the Mississippi River, known during the war as "Smallpox Island." Flooding washed away the cemetery's wooden markers, making identification of the remains impossible when they were reinterred." National Park Service, www.nps.gov
Ref: Roll of Honor Vol. X

Parentage unknown. Married Margaret Ryan on December 11, 1853 in Johnson, MO and had two daughters, Sarah E. (b. 1855) and Elizabeth A. (Lizzie) (b. 1859.) Died presumably of smallpox on Arsenal Island.
From the Interment Record of James H. Ahill:
"Sec. 63, 64, and 67 contain the remains of 470 soldiers all marked as unknown, removed from "Arsenal Island" in the Miss. River opposite St. Louis, MO where they died in 1861-1865 from contagious diseases, principally smallpox. The names of the decedents are known but the individual graves cannot be determined." Asbury White is included in those identified.

Notes for David C. (Spouse 2)
Union Veteran of the Civil War
David C. McEwen was a member of the W. H. Lytle Post #32, Grand Army of the Republic, in Fort Scott, Kansas, for service in Co. E, 5th Kansas State Militia. This was a short-lived regiment organized in Fort Scott during the Confederate invasion in Oct. 1864.
Confusingly, David C. McEwen applied for a pension in 1884 for service in Company A, 5th Kansas Cavalry, but it was not granted. He also appears on the 1890 Census Veterans Schedule in Virgil, Vernon County, Missouri, listing service in the 5th Kansas Infantry. No supporting records have been located for his service in these units.
