Mrs. Velma Olive Newman

  Funeral services were held here Sunday afternoon for Mrs. Velma
Olive Newman, wife of Tom Newman of Seneca, as the tribute of
friends who gathered from the Seneca and Hines communities
necessitated additional seating facilities, and overcrowded the
Clevenger Mortuary Chapel. The services, in charge of Rev. Lloyd
Anderson of the Baptist Church, were followed by interment in
Burns Cemetery.

  Mrs. Newman's death came at 9:30, Friday night, at Valley View
Hospital, at the end of a four day illness.

  Mrs. Newman was born in Hornbeck, La., July 12, 1904, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Pynes. She moved from there to
McNary, Ariz., in 1925, where she was united in marriage to
Thomas Newman, on December 5, 1927.

  Mrs. Newman accompanied her husband to Seneca when operations of
the Hines Company were begun in 1929.

  Survivors are Mr. Newman and four children, Effie, Tommy Lou,
Albert, and Billy, all of Seneca; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. L.
Pynes of Hines; four brothers and one sister, Sam, and Ed Pynes
of Seneca, Roy, and Ray Pynes of Hines, and Mrs. O. F. Presley of
Big Springs, Texas.
