finally marrying in the West Pitt-'
ston parsonage April 16, 1898.
Prior to his marriage Mr. New-
berry spent seven years in the West.
where he rode the range, sleeping
nights in the fields with one buddie|
and a herd of cattle. Illness of,
his father who had been injured
in the Battle of Gettysburg and,
lost his right arm, made him give
up the cowboy life he so dearly
loved and return to his homestead.
Meanwhile Mrs. Newberry calmly
taught school at Beaumont.
Starting in to learn the building
business, Mr. Newberry plugged
along until he finally became head
foreman for some of the outstand-
ing construction companies of the
East, travelling here and there
supervising the building of bridges,
trestles, and’ foundations. He re-
tired last year, then spent the
year building his daughter and son-
that is if Mrs. Newberry stops buy-
ing more and more roses—her pets
—for him to spray.
Mrs. Newberry is an active mem-
ber of East Dallas Methodist Church
where she has headed the Wo-
man’s Society several times and,
even at seyenty-one, has difficulty
dodging committees. She is an avid
crocheter, knitter, and quilter. And
do her fingers fly when she is mak-
ing a new sweater or cap for one
of her ten grandchildren!
Both of the Newberrys are in
excellent health and are fun to
be around.. They have good hear-
ing and can read the Post without
glasses.
Sunday will be an exciting day
when all the neighbors drop in to
reminisce and talk about the days
when half a dozen houses made up
the villages of Noxen and Beau-
mont.
The Newberrys have four chil-
dren: Mrs. Emily Shultz and Mrs.
Sylvia Jones of Millville, Mrs. Al-
fred Moore of East Dallas and Nor-!
ton Newberry of Aberdeen, Md,,!|
all of whom will be on hand for
Sunday’s celebration. There are
also ten grandchildren and two
great-grandchildren.
