JOHN W. NEWMAN.
We must chronical another visit of the Angel of Death to our city, who took from our midst one of our fellow citizens. “Uncle John” Newman is no more.
John Wesley Newman was born in Clermont county, Ohio, August 27, 1843; he died in this city Dec. 9, 1903, at the age of 60 years, 3 months and 12 days. The cause of his death was pneumonia.
Deceased was an ex-Union soldier having served his country in a cause that he deemed right in the War of Secession. He entered the Union army shortly after the outbreak of the fratricidal strife on April 14, 1862, as a member of Sargent T.J. B. Hopkins’ Co. A Ohio Foot Volunteers and was honorable discharged April 14, 1865. During one of the last engagements of the struggle Newman was severely wounded while bravely carrying the flag in the advance on the foe. The color staff was shot from his hands and he received a shot through his left breast. He was left on the field for dead by his retreating comrades. A Confederate ambulance came along, and picked him up, he having rallied somewhat in the meanwhile, and carried him off.
With other prisoners he was put on a train destined for the great prison pen at Andersonville, Ga. While the train was under way, he jumped overboard and tried to escape but was recaptured and taken to the stockade where he was confined for nine months.
After the war he and his parents moved to the then young state of Illinois, and while a resident of this state he met Miss Nancy A. Moore to whom he was married June 22, 1871. Eight children were born of this union, six of whom (three sons and three daughters) are now living.
The late Newman and family lived in turn in the following states: Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Kansas. They came to this territory about 12(?) years ago and settled on a claim near the Sac and Fox Agency, enduring all the hardships and privations of early pioneer days. They moved to this city about eighteen months ago where they occupied a residence on Second street in which the family still resides. Up to the time of his death, Mr. Newman was constable of Keokuk township.
Deceased was a kind husband and father, and a good neighbor and citizen. He was a member of Stroud Lodge No. 48 A.F. & A.M. and the funeral was conducted under the auspices of that order. The funeral services were conducted from the Presbyterian church, the Rev. J.A.B. Oglevee officiating.
