(14 Mar 1929, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Auldred Newman was born March 4, 1888 (sic), in Logan county, Arkansas,
and died at Elk City, Oklahoma, January 29, 1929, at the age of 39 years,
10 months and 25 days.
He was united in marriage to Verna Hasty October 11, 1908.  To this union
four children were born, Bernard, 18 years, Edgar, 16 years, Ralph 12
years and Thelma Lee 7 years, who are left without the love and care of a
father.
He also leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, Mrs. Verna Newman, his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Newman, and two sisters, Mable and Carr
Newman.  Also a brother, Horace Newman, all of Magazine, Ark.  A sister,
Mrs. Clara Meddlin, also of Arkansas and a brother Orville Newman of Elk
City.
Brother Newman was converted at the age of 15 years, and later united with
the Baptist church near Magazine, Ark.  In 1925 he and his family moved
into this community.  He joined the Hebron Baptist church where he and his
family worshipped when his health permitted.  In his testimony at prayer
meeting when he was leader, he said there was no doubt he knew he was
saved.
Funeral services were held January 30, 1929, at Hebron with Rev. J. J.
Risinger, officiating, and the body was laid to rest in the Hebron
cemetery.
Bro. Newman was a good husband, father, neighbor and citizen.  A place in
the home, church and community has been left vacant which cannot be filled
and we, the committee appointed by the Hebron church, extend to the
bereaved family and relatives in your sorrow, the sympathy of the
neighbors and members of the Hebron church.
Committee:
Mrs. Verna Johnson,
Mr. B. D. Dugan,
Mr. O. D. Nix.
