Death of Moses B. Newman.

The subject of this subjoined obituary which we copy from the Kansas City
Journal was born and reared in Lebanon and will be remembered by many of our old
citizens. His parents died while he was an infant and he was brought up and
educated by his grandfather, Ichabod Corwin. In early life he served as an
apprenticeship in this office when the STAR was edited and published by A. H.
Dunlevy and Jacob Morris. Afterward he studied law with his uncle, R. G. Corwin
to whom he was more like a brother than a nephew. After his admission to the bar
he removed to Sidney and practiced his profession there and at Lima and
Wapakoneta until 1857 when he removed to Kansas. During his residence in Sidney
he married Miss Harriet A. Sheppard, a lady formerly of Buffalo, N.Y., who was
highly accomplished and thoroughly educated. He will be remembered as a genial,
warm hearted man and scrupulously honest and truthful and though full of wit and
humor he was upright, moral and essentially a Christian in his whole life. The
following is from the Kansas City Journal:

Moses B. Newman, a prominent and old citizen of Wyandotte died peacefully and
conscious after an illness of nearly three months. He at first suffered from
neuralgia of the stomach, but later severe jaundice set in, and although the
aged gentleman rallied slightly from this complication, he has been gradually
declining to his end for several days past. He attained his 70th year on the 9th
of March last, being born at Lebanon, Ohio, in 1816. He married in that city, in
1851, Miss H. A. Sheppard, with whom he migrated to Quindaro, this county, in
1857, removing in 1860 to Wyandotte, which city has ever since been his home.
Being an able and popular man, he was honored by his fellow citizens with many
public appointments. He was, in 1865, on the Hill City's first mayors, and he
has at various times filled the offices of county clerk and probate judge. He
was an honored member of the Wyandotte county bar, which met and adopted
resolutions of respect and made arrangement to attend the funeral. He leaves a
widow and five children. The two daughters are Mrs. Lydia C. Diederich, wife of
Dr. Diederich, of this city, and Mrs. Maria Mull, of Bismark, D.T. The three
sons are Frank, resident of Leavenworth; Edmund, at Ellsworth; and Robert, who
has remained with his parents.

The deceased, who resided on the corner of Barnett and Seventh streets, leaves
his family in comfortable circumstance. Judge Newman was vice president of the
Kansas State Horticultural Society.
