Notes

.....Donald Brown Ewing, son of Robert Brown and Mary Laura Ewing, was born in Childress, Texas on Sept. 14, 1894. In 1895 his family moved back to their home state of Ohio, settling in Gallipolis, where his father was superintendent of schools. Donald attended Ohio State University, where he was a member of Alpha Rho Chi, professional architectural fraternity. He graduated in 1916 with a degree of Bachelor of Architecture. Early in 1917 he enlisted as a private in the U. S. Corps of Engineers, and in July of that year went to France with his regiment, there to help in the building of docks, railroads, warehouses and hospitals, which was part of a long-range program for a ten year war on the part of the United States. In Sept. 1918 he was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the U. S. Corps of Engineers. After the Armistice in Oct. 1918, he remained in France with the engineer corps, working on a project to rebuild the highways of that war-torn country. Returning to the United States in August, 1919, he settled in Chicago where for the next seven years he engaged in the selling of construction materials for Concrete Steel County, and the United States Gypsum Co.
.....On Sept. 1, 1920, Donald was married to Irma Mary Kueker of Faribault, Minnesota. she was born Dec. 10, 1895 and was the daughter of William L. D. Kueker and his wife Wanda Von Ziegenhagen. Mr. Kueker was the founder and proprietor of Farmer's Seed and Nursery Co. of Faribault.
.....In 1926 Donald and Irma Mary became residents of Cleveland, Ohio. In 1928 Donald purchased Cleveland Steel Specialty Company, manufacturers of metal building materials, and embarked on this somewhat unfamiliar business just at the beginning of the big depression. He continued with this enterprise for the next thirty-two years, during part of which time he was a member of Kiwanis Club and President of Southeast Manufacturer's Association of Cleveland. Early in 1961, he retired from active business, and with his wife, move to Calif.
.....Donald and Irma Mary have one child. [Source: Donald Brown Ewing, "Our Ewings in America 1740-1966", Santa Monica, California: The Acme Press, 1966]
