He had suffered a heart ailment for several years and a heart attack is believed to have caused his death. [Editor: WW I Draft Registration Card gives his date and place of birth as January 5, 1895 at Humphrey, Nebraska.] His wife had been downtown and returned home at 5:00 p. m. She went to his carpenter shop at the rear of their lot where he had been working. Not finding him there, she returned to the house, finding him lying on the ground near his pickup. Mr. Newton had not been ill during the few days prior to his death. He had been working at carpentering and had attended funeral rites for a friend, C. S. Swalley, Saturday afternoon earlier in the day. He carne to Lewellen from St. Edward with his parents Charles and Maud Newton and resided on the tableland south of Lewellen for many years. With the exception of a few years spent in Wyoming his home has been in the Lewellen community. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon in Grace Lutheran church at Lewellen with Dr. T. J. C.
