CLARENCE HENRY NEWMAN DIED OF PNEUMONIA AT AGE 18

Clarence Henry Newman, son of Mrs. Kate Newman, died Friday night in this city at the home of his mother of California Street. He had been ill nine days from pneumonia. During the summer he had a long illness from typhoid fever, and had not fully regained his health and strength, when he went to work again, driving one of the Big Store delivery wagons. He was the only support of his mother, and his eagerness to resume his labors in her behalf was perhaps the indirect cause of his contracting pneumonia by being exposed to inclement weather when he was not in rugged health.

Clarence Newman was aged 18 years, 4 months and 19 days. He was born in Weaverville, but had lived in Redding for several years. He was a boy who was not afraid to work. He always had a job and always gave satisfaction to his employers. For several months he was messenger boy in the Western Union telegraph office and was the most obliging boy ever in the position. For a month or two he had charge of the carrier routes of The Searchlight. He was fond of railroad work and last spring he was employed in the roundhouse at Dunsmuir, but he preferred to be at home with his mother, and returned to Redding and commenced to work for the Big Store.

Newman was a fireman. He was a member of Liberty Hose Company No. 2. He was zealous in his service and in fact oftentimes had to be restrained from over-exertion or from being too willing to rush into danger. At the Chenowith-Moore-Kesler fire of last month he fought the flames like a Trojan, and it is thought that the drenching he got gave him the cold that laid him susceptible to the attack ot pneumonia that has cause his death. At the funeral Sunday the Redding firemen will attend in a body, for Clarence Newman is entitled to be buried with the honors due to a veteran.

The honest, industrious boy is mourned by his mother, Mrs. Kate Newman, and four sisters--Maud, Belle, Mattie and Gladys.r.

PIONEER OF TRINITY AND SHASTA COUNTIES DIES AT AGE OF 82
Michael R. Newman Succumbs In Shasta After A Long Illness (Special to the Searchlight.)

SHASTA -- Michael R. Newman, pioneer of Shasta and Trinity counties passed away at 4:30 this morning. His illness was of long duration. For two years he had been in feeble health and at several times he was near death, but he always pulled through. Nr. Newman ate a hearty breakfast yesterday morning and then asked to be laid on the bed. His son, Louis H. Newman, assisted him to his couch.

"Who are you?" the father asked. "Why I am Louis," the son answered. "No, you are not Louis," answered the pioneer, who only a few minutes before had chatted cheerfully and familiarly across the breakfast table with his son. It was plain that the pioneer's mind had slipped away from him. He dropped into unconsciousness and so remained until he breathed his last this morning at break of day.

Michael R. Newman was born in Kentucky. He would have been eighty-two years of age in November next. He came to California in 1852, before he was of age, crossing the plains. Mr. Newman followed mining in the early days, dividing his residence between Shasta and Trinity counties, taking a turn once in a while at the goldfields in Siskiyou. In his old age he engaged in business, and for the last ten years he made his home in this old town.

The pioneer's wife passed away eleven years ago. The couple had eight children, four of whom are living: Louis H. Newman, Shasta; M. Reuben Newman, Sacramento; A. Jackson Newman, Susanville, and Mrs. W. E. Baker, Redding. Several grandchildren are left, among them being these: Miss Maud Newman, Miss Hattie Baker, Miss Ione Baker, Miss Ida Baker, all of Redding, and Sam Baker of Mammoth, Boon Baker of Nevada and Eugene Baker of Trinity.

Mr. Newman was a member of the Weaverville lodge of Odd Fellows. He was also a Mason and a Knight of Pythias. The Redding lodge of Odd Fellows will conduct the funeral, which will be held in Redding at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Interment by the Houston Undertaking company.
