Cherokee Advance 21 Apr 1880 p 3
Death of "Uncle" John Newel.
We are pained to chronicle the sudden death of Rev. John Newel, who died at 
his home in this county on the 16th inst., aged 80 years and 1 day.
For many years he was a devoted member of the Methodist Church, and his walk 
through life fully exemplied the beautiful life of a true christian.  When 
quite young he connected himself with the church; in 1827 he was licinsed 
(sic) to preach, and for 33 years was an itinerant minister.  He was a 
native of North Carolina, but came to Georgia many years ago, and was loved 
and rerspected (sic) by all who knew him.  His remains were followed to 
Holbrook's Camp Ground by a large concourse of relatives and friend, where 
he was buried with Masonic honors, and the services of his church conducted 
by Rev. C. M. McClure.  He leaves a wife, children and grand children to 
mourn his death.  We sympathize with the bereaved in their loss, yet we 
believe him to be at rest in Heaven where he has won the prize.
And tasted and proved in that transporting sight, 
Joy without sorrow, without darkness-light.
"Life! we've been long together,
Through pleasant and cloudy weather; 
Tis hard to part, when friends are dear;
Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear;
Then steal away, give little warning, 
Choose thine own time, 
Say not Good night, but in some brighter clime
Bid me Good morning."
