Newman Funeral Will Take Place Wednesday Morning.
The funeral of George Newman, whose death from a revolver shot occurred Sunday morning at the residence of Bert Hopper, 111 South Weston street, will be held Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock at the Christian church. Rev. W. G. Winn will conduct it. Mr. Newman’s brother, William O. Newman, arrived Monday everting from Oklahoma City. He was unable to throw any light upon the death of his brother. George has four vacant lots in Oklahoma City, but they are not very valuable now, owing to the slump in real estate in that city. He had $125 on deposit in a Rensselaer bank and about $25 on his person, ample to provide for his burial., He belonged to the local lodge Knights of Pythias some years ago, but permitted his dues to lapse and was suspended. His father died and was buried in Tennessee, while his mother and sister are buried In Weston cemetery and he will occupy a grave on the lot with them.
