In Rochester, July 16, of brain fever, Mr. AARON NEWTON, aged 45 years. He was born in Fonda, Montgomery co. Sixteen years since he became connected with the Central R. R. Co., at which time he resided in Auburn. The last two years he has been a Conductor on the Railroad. In the discharge of that office he won the regards of the traveling public, while his warm heart and genial disposition, and faithfulness to duty, won for him the solid friendship and esteem of his companions in business. He was twice married, yet died a widower, leaving three children. His remains were taken to the Universalist church, where a sermon was preached by Geo. W. Montgomery, Br. A[sa] Saxe assisting in the other services. He was a Royal Arch Mason, and was buried under Masonic honors. A large congregation testified to their respect for the deceased. May the Lord give consolation to the orphans, brother and relatives of the deceased. To the writer he was a firm, unwavering friend, whose assistance was never withheld in the hour of need. To him my heartiest gratitude is due.G. W. M. [Rev. George Washington Montgomery]Christian Ambassador, Auburn NY, Sat. 28 Jul 1860 (a weekly Universalist newspaper)
