one year, returniong to Indiana where he was married to Lucinda Ennison,
March 31, 1853. Returning to Iowa with his wife in 1854. To this union

Mr. Newman united with the Christian Church of Dry creek, located on
what is known as Singer Hill, southwest of Center Point Iowa. He served for
many years as an elder in the church, and his earnest Christian life is known
by all. About 60 years of the life of Bro. Newman has been Monroe and washington in Linn Cty., Iowa. Here among his friends he was well known and respected by all as an earnest christian, a faithful student of the Bible and accomodating neighbor ever ready to call of help. A few men have made a close study of the Bible as he or were better pseted of it's teaching, has been a life that may be used as an example of earnest in search of truth.

When the call came in the great Civil War; he was among those that responded, becoming a member of 120th Co. Iowa Vol Inf. enlisting in 62 and serving until the close of the war mustered in 65, and was engaged
in following battles Prairie Grove Seige and capture of Vis Bay Mississippi
attack and several other battles. (I can't read the paper it is written on).

Mr. Newman, while on his sick bed, wrote the following statement and request.
I take this opportunity to present before God and man that in Christ Jesus
is Salvation and in no other name can man be saved, after death for saving a soul which departs to God, become in his likeness. I want the 13 chapter of 1st Corinthians and 15th chapter of 1st Corinthians read in my house and
prayer made for all men in Christ to be saved. I want the past to take charge of my body and lay it away in peace.

David Aquilla Newman

Services were held to the above request at the home, February 7th and
the readings of the scriptures as requested and this was followed by prayer for the
salvation of all men after which a short serman was delivered. Interment made in the
Dunkard Burial Grounds, southeast of Center Point Iowa.
