Decatur County Journal Leon, Iowa Thursday, March 28, 1912 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. ------------------------------------------------ Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert December 29, 2009 [email protected]
