Southern Christian Advocate
September 13, 1860  p.4

Mrs. Lydia Newby was born in Edgefield Dist., S.C. in 1773; was married 
1791; embraced religion 1797, and died 17th July, 1860, aged 87 years.

At the time she embraced religion, there being no Methodist Church 
convenient, she joined none other, but remained a convert out of the 
Church until one was organized in the year 1818.  She was not only a 
consistent member, but truly a Christian; serving the Lord with all her 
heart for 63 years, and a member of the Church for 42 years.  She attended 
regularly to the preaching of the Word and class-meeting, rendering 
obedience to the commands of her Lord, who hath promised to all such 
everlasting life, which reward she now realizes.  A day or two before her 
death she praised God in triumph through faith in Christ, and then 
passed away to join the Church triumphant.  		- W.S. Headwright
