Lynn Moore Ewing Jr. ’52

After a 12-year struggle with cancer, Lynn Ewing died at home in Nevada, Mo., on Feb. 17, 2001. Funeral services were held in the United Methodist Church and All Saints Episcopal Church in Nevada, where Lynn had been vestryman, senior warden, and lector.

Lynn's roots were deepest in his hometown, Nevada. He transferred after his freshman year at Princeton to the U. of Missouri, where his career was spectacular. He graduated with his degree, Phi Beta Kappa, in 1952, and a law degree in 1954, Order of the Coif. He and Peggy Adams were married in 1954. Lynn then served two years as a lawyer in the Air Force Judge Advocate General Corps. They returned to Nevada in 1956, where he became a third generation member of his law firm.

Service to his community, state, and church constituted a major thread in Lynn's life. He served three terms in the Missouri house of representatives, six years as councilman and mayor of Nevada, and sat on countless local boards. He was named a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow, and Nevada Citizen of the Year in 1975.

Lynn is survived by his wife, Peggy; children, Margaret, Lynn III, and Melissa; a brother, Blair; and four grandchildren. We extend to them our profound condolences.
