Our Bellwood correspondent writes: On Sunday morning at 6:30 o'clock, Mr. William Newhouse, a son-in-law of Jacob Ebaugh, passed from this to a better world. A little over two years ago his wife (Clara) and three children preceded him, leaving him and two little girls - Amanda, who is near 13 years of age, and Elsie, nearly 10 years - now parentless. William Newhouse was about 6 weeks old when his father, Lewis Newhouse, left Europe to make his home in America. He landed in New York in May, 1849, and settled in Cambria county. At the breaking out of the war, though but a boy, he enlisted in Captain John's company of the Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania volunteers, and was for a time in the Second battalion of the Invalid corps of the United States army. William Newhouse was a comrade in post 426 Grand Army of the Republic of Bellwood, department of Pennsylvania. The funeral was in charge of the Grand Army of the Republic and the body was interred in the Logan Valley cemetery on Tuesday, May 18. Altoona Tribune, Altoona, Pa., Thursday, May 19, 1887, page 3
