The News-Herald. (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, September 08, 1910, Image 3 Obituary.
Mary Pauline Newton was born in Buckingham county, Va., October 4,
1833 and departed this life August 18, 1910, aged 76 years 10 months and 14 days. She emigrated to Ohio In 1837. She was united in marriage to Daniel Carpenter in 1853. To this union were born six sons and four daughters. One son and one daughter died in their youth and her husband in 1895. Five sons, Guthie, Joseph, Dexter, Agee and three daughters, Elizabeth,Martha and Ella, one brother, one sister and many relatives and friends are left to mourn their loss. She united with the M. E. Church at Dunn's Chapel when about 18 years of age. The last years of her life were spent In Allensburg and not being near the church of her choice she transferred her membership to the Christian Union Chapel at Allensburg. She was a true Christian woman. Her religion was exemplified in deeds rather than in words. She had no enemies and was a friend to everyone. Never was a mother more honored and respected by her children. They watched over her continually and tried to full fill her every wish. Early last Thursday morning, when all were entering on the duties of another beautiful day, mother calmly and peacefully bade adieu to the scenes of this world, crossed the river and joined her friends who had gone be fore on the other shore.
Life's labor done as sinks the clay
Light from its load the spirit files
while heaven and earth combine to say,
How blest the righteous when she dies."
