IN THE GRAVE
———
Death and Burial of Mrs Walter New
ton — The Latter Occurred Mon
day.
The funeral of Mrs. Walter Newton occurred from the Methodist church in Philomath Monday. The interment was in the Newton cemetery.
Mrs. Newton died Saturday. For three or four years she had suffered more or less with asthma. She was convalescent from a recent attack, when she was seized with measles. At 11 o’clock Saturday she was in a fair way for recovery. The complication of diseases however, suddenly became very violent, and two hours later she expired.
Carrie Williams Newton was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Williams of Philomath. She was born in Benton county, where all her life was spent. About ten or twelve years ago she was united in marriage to Walter Newton, who survives her. She was aged about 32 years. A few years ago Mrs. Newton was in robust health, and on several occasions a winner in contests of strength at Woodmen games. The survivors are the husband and three children.

Editor’s note: A family historian with information published online lists Mrs. Newton’s birth as April 7, 1871 (only the year is shown on her grave marker), which would make her age 30 at the time of death.
