Maggie came down just at sunset to tell us of the death of Mrs. John Newton this morning at eight o'clock of apoplexy at her home in Marietta. She was a worthy and amiable lady, and will be sincerely lamented. She leaves two sons of her former husband, Mr. James Means, brother of Mrs. Burgess. Thus within a few months our county has lost three very excellent, influential and wealthy Christian women -- Mrs. Winchester Dana, Mrs. Douglas Putnam and Mrs. John Newton.
