Charles Newman - For the past fifty years Charles Newman has made his home at 
his present residence in Deer Creek township. He was born July 1, 1860, in 
Vernon County, Missouri, the son of Jonathan and Martha J. (Prior) Newman. They 
were born in Cooper County, Missouri, and Tennessee, respectively. In 1866, they 
left their home in Vernon County, Missouri, and lived on land in Johnson County 
for two years; then they came to Henry County and rented the farm which was 
originally owned by Abraham Wiley for two years, after which they settled on the 
"Newman Homestead" in Deer Creek township, and followed their farming 
activities. Jonathan Newman was a veteran of the Civil War, having served in the 
Confederate Army. He passed away December 6, 1892, and his wife survived him 
until 1912. Charles Newman attended the district school and has always 
remained on the home farm, looking after its interests and the numberless tasks 
of conducting it successfully. August 19, 1891, Mr. Newman was married to 
Columbia J. Goff, the daughter of Lewis I. and Sarah (Wiley) Goff, who were born 
in Henry County, descendants of pioneer settlers. Mrs. Columbia Newman was born 
in Tebo township, August 18, 1862, and received her education in the district 
schools. Twins, Lewis and Mary, have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Newman. Mary died 
in infancy and Lewis, born April 21, 1893, became a private in the National Army 
February 26, 1918, and is now serving in the 354th Infantry Regiment, 89th 
Division of the United States Army, now "Somewhere in France." Lewis is a 
member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons and the Modern Woodmen of 
America. Mr. and Mrs. Newman own 241 acres of land. He is not seeking political 
honors, but exercises his right of franchise by voting the Democratic ticket. He 
and his wife are members of the Methodist Church, South.
