Death of Joseph Newman, Esq.

  The sad news was received in this city last evening of the death of 
Joseph Newman, esq., last Sunday, at his home in Yeagertown, Pa.  The 
'Squire was about 65 years of age and is survived by his wife and one 
daughter, Mrs. Charles Myers.  He was a veteran of two wars - the 
Mexican and the Rebellion - in both of which he served with great 
credit to himself and his country.  He was also a justice of the peace 
at the time of his death, and was highly esteemed in the community 
where he had made his home.  His many long-time friends in this city 
will hear with deep regret of his being summoned to the Beyond, but not 
without hope - for truly he is at rest with his Great Commander.  His 
remains will be taken to Potter's Mills, Centre county, where the 
interment will take place tomorrow morning about 11 o'clock.
