R. Page & Co., Chicago; 1882 -63- PELEG EWING, manufacturer of carriages and wagons, Ludington, was born at Sand Lake, N.Y., in 1833. In 1855 he came to Tuscola County, Mich., where he remained until 1864, when he enlisted in the service. At the close of the war he returned to Tuscola County, and stayed until 1870, when he came to Ludington, and engaged in the manufacture of wagons, carriages, etc. His busi- ness prospered, and at the present time is very extensive. Two large buildings are occupied in the manufacture and for sales rooms, and a number of workmen employed. Mr. EWING is a very active man in advancing public interests and improvements, and was one of the originators of the Ludington Tax Payers' Improve- ment Association. He represented the First Ward in the city council during the years 1874-75. He is a man of sound, prac- tical views, and his judgment upon matters in which he interests himself is considered reliable. ===========================================================================
