ANNA NEWMAN
Indianapolis, Mary 22 - Mrs. Anna Laura Newman, 73, died at the City Hospital today following a brief illness of pneumonia. To the present generation announcement of her death will excite but little interest but to survivors of the Civil War the news that "Annie Laurie" has passed away will revive tender memories. Though a girl of but 16 when the Civil War broke out, Mrs. Newman volunteered as a nurse and served in the field and hospital throughout the four years of that great conflict. Her services on the field of battle particularly endeared her to soldiers of both the north and south who called her "Annie Laurie. Mrs. Newman also had some thrilling experience as a spy. She on several occasions served in this dangerous role and always gained valuable information. A resident of Lafayette, Ind for 54 years, Mrs. Newman had only recently come to Indianapolis to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. David C. Adams, 512 North New Jersey street.
