Mrs. Newcomb had been in failing health for more than a year. Twelve months ago New Year's day Mrs. Newcomb had the misfortune to fall and break her hip and since this misfortune(sic) has never been able to regain her former health. When strong enough she was wheeled about in an invalid's chair.
The bereaved husband and two children, Zala Newcomb, of Tipton, and Mrs. Rosa Denny, [sic, Dunning], East Monroe street, service to mourn the passing out of a splendid mother, Mrs. Newcomb had many fine qualities which were greatly esteemed by all who knew her and she had a large number of friends.
In allegiance a spiritualist she awaited the coming of physical dissolution with that calm which comes to the one who on time's shores has enjoyed the manifestations of those in the spirit convictions and she had no fear as to a favorable condition for herself upon passing out, knowing the faith, living it, and ready for the welcome of the ministers of light, escaped from the thraldom of earthbound ties.
The expiration of Mrs. Newcomb will excite keen regret in the hearts of her relatives, numerous friends and well wishers. [The Kokomo Dispatch, Saturday Morning, February 25, 1911, page 4].
