"John NEWSOME Was Found Dead in Bed: Aged Citizen of Eastern Part of the County Dies Suddenly
"John NEWSOME, aged 77 years, was found dead in his bed about 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning at his home about one and one-half miles east of the poor house, in Muscogee county. He had not been ill at all, and his sudden death must have been caused by an attack of heart trouble, during the night. He leaves eight children, five sons and three daughters. They are: Messrs. W. C., J. T., A. S., F. M., and G. W. NEWSOME, all of Muscogee county and Mrs. Mollie WARE and Misses Fannie and Ella NEWSOME, of Muscogee county. No funeral arrangements had been made yesterday, but the services will be held sometime during today at his home, east of the city."
[Above from the Columbus, GA, Enquirer-Sun newspaper, Tuesday, 27 OCT 1903, p. 8.]
I am interested in learning more about this family, particularly the parentage of John. He appears to be the same as John NEWSOME (55, GA, peddler) who heads a household on p. 235A in Brownville, Lee Co, AL, in 1880. With him are his wife (Mary A., 42, GA, keeping house) and children Ella M. (21), William C. (19), John F. (17), Frances (14), Soloman (12), Mary A. (10), Frederick M. (8), Alice L. (6) and George W. (1). All the children were b. in GA and all age 10 or older are working in a cotton mill. My gg-gf Henry M. NEWSOME (1836-1899) heads a household on p. 236C, so it seems likely they are kin, perhaps as cousins. (Henry had a brother named John, b. 1820, who m. Talitha PIKE and appears elsewhere in 1880.)
Could this be John NEWSOM who m. 15 JUL 1858 in Taylor Co, GA, to Mary Ann MITCHELL? This also appears to be the same NEWSOME family buried at the Midway Church (now on Ft. Benning Reservation) in eastern Muscogee Co. An alphabetical listing of burials in this cemetery is posted online at:
