NEWTON.........Henderson Times, Feb. 17, 1921
Obituary
On the evening of Sept. 21, 1920, Mrs. Addie Newton, wife of N. P. Newton, sweetly passed from this world to the sweet beyond. She was a few days passed 49 years old. She had been failing in health only a few days. She was converted several years past and united with the Presbyterian church at Hickey. She had lived a christian life and always had a pleasant smile and a kind & loving word for everyone who passed her way. She was married to N. P. Newton Dec. 25, 1890. To this union were born 3 children, 2 of whom preceeded the mother to the shore, one remains to join his father in their great loss. She slipped quietly away from the scenes of earth on the afternoon of Sept. 21, 1920, and the next day we laid the tired body to rest in the Moyers cemetery under a beautiful floral offering, surrounded by her neighbors, friends & loved ones. She was an ideal wife, mother, friend & neighbor. Her Christian life was charcterized by an unfailing faith in her risen Lord. Her husband will miss her beautiful life; her son will miss her tender guiding hand; her neighbors will miss her pure love as expressed in gentle Christian ministration; but we all know that in the realm of light we shall see her again.
