Notes - Obituary - Sayville lost a good and useful citizen in the death of John Newton which took place at 2:30 last Saturday morning. He was in his 68th year and was born in Patchogue, the son of Jacob and Charity Newton, the latter still living in Terryville, L.I. at the age of 90 years. Besides his mother he is survived by his wife, one daughter, three grandchildren and four sisters. His death was due to a nervous debility resulting from a serious accident that befell him four years ago and to a series of mishaps since then. Much of the intervening time he has been an invalid, confined to his home or a hospital room until his culminating misfortunes became greater than he could bear, and his brave spirit was broken. Most of his life has been spent in this village, in which he carried on a livery and teaming business, coming during all these years into contact with people of all walks of life until he became one of the best known citizens of Sayville and because of his kindly, helpful, good humored ways, one of the best beloved. He possessed a generous heart and never in all his life knowingly harmed one of his fellow men.
He was a charter member of the Sayville Fire Department and of Court Bayside, Foresters of America, which organizations were well represented at the funeral, which was held from St. Ann's Church on Monday afternoon at two o'clock and was very largely attended. The services were beautifully conducted by the Rev. Jos. H. Bond, acting rector, assisted by the Rev. W. T. Edds, of the Congregational Church. The interment was in St. Ann's Cemetery.
