MARY NEWMAN

  Mrs. Mary Newman, aged 72 years, died at the home of her son Clyde, and 
family, in the Laurel Hill region, 3 miles from Trent, Feb. 13, 1943.  She had 
been a resident of Salisbury for many years, but went to the home of the son 
mentioned some time last autumn in very poor health.  The principal cause of her 
death was cancer of the throat.  Her husband, the late Nevin R. Newman, died in 
1939.
  Mrs. Newman was the youngest child of David and Harriet Schrock Newman, and 
was born and reared in Elk Lick Township, near Salisbury.  She was preceded in 
death by six brothers and two sisters.  She is survived by three sons, Robert of 
Meyersdale, Clyde of Middlecreek Township, and Rowland of Salisbury.  She is 
also survived by a number of grandchildren.
  The body of Mrs. Newman was brought to Salisbury the same day she died, by 
Stanley M. Thomas, Salisbury mortician, and after being prepared for burial, was 
taken to the home where she and her son Rowland, and his daughter Frances, 
located some time last spring.  There a short prayer service was conducted 
Monday, at one o'clock p.m., followed by interment in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery, 
under the direction of Mortician Thomas.
  Following the interment, her pastor, Rev. Ira S. Monn, the officiating 
clergyman, conducted funeral services in St. John's Evangelical and Reformed 
Church, of which Mrs. Newman was a steadfast and faithful member from the days 
of her early childhood.  Although the weather was extremely cold and blustery, 
the obsequies were largely attended, and the floral tributes were numerous and 
beautiful.
