An old Page News article wrote this in an article about the early days at Newport: PALMY DAYS OF NEWPORT
But few people now living around Newport remember In her young days Newport was one of the most business places in Page County. Emanuel Foltz ran a tanyard just a little southwest of the mill and also a potter ship near where the Christian church now stands. James Foltz owned the mill at Newport and was the miller. Gideon Foltz was the pump maker, and Isaac Louderback was the mill wright and house carpenter. Noah Foltz ran the old Catherine furnace, and Joe Foltz ran a mill and ground bones and lime.
