Walter Ewalt funeral
at 1st Baptist Church
Walter Stamps Ewalt, 77, Route 1, died Saturday at St. Francis Regional Medical Center in Wichita.
His funeral will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the First Baptist Church. Rev. Richard Axmann will officiate and burial will be in Elmwood Cemetery.
A memorial has been established to the Walter and Sidney Ewalt Scholarship Fund for Augusta High School in care of Prairie State Bank, Augusta, Kan.
He was born July 28, 1907 in Cowley County to John Henry and Mary Emma Need Ewalt.
He married Sidney Maria Freeman June 26, 1931 in Augusta. She survives.
He was a treater at Mobil Oil refinery here and raised greyhounds commercially. He was a sports enthusiast.
Ewalt was a Augusta High School basketball player in the 1920s, playing on a team which challenged for a state title. He seldom missed a local athletic event at any level, following AHS Oriole and AJHS Bluejay athletes for more than 60 years.
Ewalt was nationally known as a breeder of championship greyhounds and as a dog racing official. For several years, Ewalt worked as a track official in Florida during the racing season.
Ewalt and his wife Sidney were made honorary life members of the Augusta Booster Club in 1982. In recent years, Ewalt strived to help the Oriole cross country team, which had no real home course to run on.
He allowed the high school team to use land he owned adjacent to school property for cross country meets and practices. Ewalt went as far as to cut, measure, and layout the 2-mile course for the cross country team and was present at all of the team's home meets.

In recognition of his support for the runners and contribution to the program, the high school started presenting a special award to the winning boy and girl runner in the varsity races two years ago.

Other survivors include a daughter, Jane Hutchins of South Windsor, Conn.; a brother, Ernest Henry Ewalt of Augusta; sisters, Emma Jane Shafer and Sadie Venita Canfield, both of Augusta, Margaret Leota Euler of Topeka, and grandsons, David and Michael, both of South Windsor.
