ELIJAH NEWMAN

  Elijah Newman, retired lumberman, died at his home in Salisbury on Monday, May 
9 at 5:15 a.m. of cerebral hemorrhage.  Mr. Newman suffered a stroke some years 
ago, and although he recovered rapidly at the time, his health soon began to 
fail, and has been deteriorating ever since.  Most of the time he was able to 
get around until recently.
  Mr. Newman was a partner in the R. Newman Lumber Co. for 40 years, and retired 
in 1932.  Familiarly known to all in Salisbury as "Bud", he was well liked 
because of his unfailing good humor, and continual joking.  He was a member of 
St. John's Reformed Church and has been a widower since 1925, when his wife 
Carrie (Lowry) Newman died.
  He was born in Garrett County, Md., on April 28, 1868, son of William and 
Margaret (Blocher) Newman, and was just 11 days past his 81st birthday at his 
death.  He is survived by two sons, George W. Newman and Hubert L. Newman, and 
by one grandchild.
  Funeral services were conducted at his home at 2:00 p.m. on May 11 with his 
pastor, the Rev. Ira S. Monn, officiating.  Interment in the IOOF Cemetery in 
charge of Mortician Stanley M. Thomas.
