Grandma Newton: as she was most commonly called, was a faithful member of the Baptist church and a most devout christian. She lived a most useful life and was very active until about a year ago, when ill health fell upon her. To know her was to love her.

Mohns, Hr., and the remains laid to rest in the family lot a Ebenezer Baptist cemetery on Saturday, October 4th.
