Dr. Christopher McEwen, a prominent practising physician of the county, died at his home at Plumville on Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock, aged 65 years. The direct cause of his death was urenic poison, resulting from diseased kidnesy. Although Mr. McEwen had not been enjoying his usual health for some time, only a week previous to his death he made several professional visits. Several weeks ago he accompanied his wife to Pittsburg where she was treated in a hospital. She returned home on Wednesday and her husband died the following day. The shock of his death has almost prostrated the widow. The medical fraternity of the county mourn the loss of a physician of ability and one who has had an experience of practice which covers a period of 40 years. The deceased was born in South Mahoning township October 17, 1830. He was the son of John McEwen, one of the early settlers in that neighborhood. The deceased was raised on a farm and received his education in the schools at Plumville and the Glade Run Academy. He read medicine with Dr. William McEwen and in 1855 graduated at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. Since that time he has been located at Plumville, where he has spent his life, doing good to suffering humanity and spreading an influence of the most excellent character over the community. Dr. McEwen was a man of the most liberal nature and was esteemed and respected by all who knew him. He enjoyed a lucrative practice which extended all over the portion of the county in which he lived. The lonely wife and only one child, Dr. Charles M McEwen, who has been associated for years with his fater in the practice of medicine survive him. The funeral services were conducted at his late home on Friday morning and was attended by a large concourse of friends who had gathered to pay the last tribute to his memory. The services were conducted by Rev. Ewing, pastor of the Beracha Untied Presbyterian church; Rev. A. T. Bell, of Washington Presbyterian church; Rev. Foresman, of Marion Center, and Rev. Patterson, of Atwood. The following colleagues acted as pall bearers: Dr. William Byers, of Punxsutawney; Dr. D. R. Crawford, of Smicksburg; Dr. W. L. Shield, of Jascksonville; Dr. M. M. Davis, of this place; Dr. J. I. Mabon, of Penn Run, and Dr. W. B. Ansley, of Saltsburg. The interment was made at Beracha graveyard, near Plumville.

Gravesite Details
Hypothetically speaking: Being trampled might bring on Kidney failure, from the trauma. "Uremic" poisoning would result from that. In those days, before dialysis, death would have been slow and certain. This was often referred to as Blood poisoning.
