JAMES D. NEWTON, son of JOHN and IVA NEWTON, was born March 6, 1911, and
passed away after a brief illness near Davis City, Iowa, March 19, 1912, at
the age of one year and thirteen days.

His parents, together with two brothers, EARL and DIXON, and also two
sisters, BLANCHE and ZOA, are left to mourn his departure. JAMES was a
bright little fellow, and the pet of the household. Everything that skilled
hands and loving hearts could do seemed to be of no avail, and he was called
into the presence of the loving Savior who said: "Suffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them not for to such belongeth the kingdom of God."
Funeral services were conducted at the M.E. Church in Davis City Wednesday,
March 20, at three o'clock by Rev. J.S. Coffin, Pastor of the Leon Christian
Church. The remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Odd Fellows Cemetery
at Davis City in the presence of friends and relatives whose sympathy is
extended to the family in their bereavement.
