"Newt," as he was familiarly known, was a farmer, believing that as one sows so shall he reap. He enjoyed the great parable of the sower who went forth. For many years he has been sowing seeds of kindness and on January 2 he received a call and has gone to reap his harvest. He will not return for it will take eternity to garner his reward. Our grief is drowned with joy when we open the door of our memory and let in a flood of kind (illegible). Our neighbor and friend has passed. What a joy when we think of the many years he was permitted to be with us. The creator has been kind to us by leaving him here more than the allotted time of man. We will miss him but would not ask an appeal from the verdict rendered. -- A Neighbor." Oberlin Herald 1-8-1931
