Per Commemorative BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD Of THE COUNTIES Of SANDUSKY AND OTTAWA, OHIO. J. H. BEERS & CO. 1896.;
JOHN NEWMAN, retired farmer, of Fremont, Sandusky county, is a native of York county, Penn., born in November, 1809, son of John and Eve (Brenneman) Newman. John Newman, Sr. , who was a weaver, died in York county at the age of sixty, and his wife passed away in Sandusky county, Ohio, when aged eighty. His (John's) father, Henry Newman, was born in Saxony, emigrated to America and settled in New York State. John Newman, Sr. , was drafted in the war of 1812, at Little York, Penn., and saw some military service. His children were Michael, a grocer and baker, who died in Fremont at the age of thirty-two; John, our subject; Lydia, who died unmarried at the age of twenty-six; Polly, who died in Pennsylvania, wife of John Carr; and Catharine, who first married David Burger (who was sheriff of Sandusky county two terms), and after his death wedded Patrick Graham, who died at Toledo, Ohio, in 1873. John Newman, our subject, was reared in Pennsylvania up to the age of twenty years, and had charge of a distillery. In 1836 he came to Ohio, locat ng at Tiffin, the following spring coming to Lower Sandusky, in which village he established a grocery and provision store. About the year 1840, when his brother died, he sold out and he and his sisters found work in other places. On April 8, 1841, he married at Fremont, Ohio, Margaretta Livingstine, of Canton, Ohio, who was born January 31, 1822. She was a daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Wymen) Livingstine, natives of Alsace, France, and members of the Lutheran Church, who came to America, and settled in Riley township, Sandusky Co., Ohio, where the father died at the age of seventy-seven, and the mother when sixty- eight years of age. They had a family of seven children: Sarah, wife of George Hilt, of Sandusky county; Lizzie, who died in childhood on the ocean; Barbara, deceased wife of Henry Huffman, of Jackson township; Margaretta, wife of our subject; Anna, who died in childhood; Elizabeth, deceased wife of George Hendricks; and Charles, living in Riley township. Mrs. John Newman's grandfather, Charles Livingstine, was mayor of a small village in Germany for about thirty years. He was an Englishman by birth, and settled in Alsace to avoid service in the English army; he and his wife, Barbara, died in Germany. John Newman and his wife have live on the same lot, No. 621 Croghan street, Fremont, ever since their marriage, a period of fifty-five years. He followed farming and dealing in real estate; bought new farms, cleared them up, made improvements, sold the timber, and then disposed of the farms at a profit, and he is now classed as one of the wealthy citizens of Fremont. The children of John and Margaretta Newman were: John, born March 31, 1842, and died in 1880; Catharine E., born August 14, 1845, wife of Charles Boyer, whose children are Hattie (widow of Eugene Wagner). Jennie (wife of James Weaver, and has one child —Roy), Minnie (wife of Michael Wolf, and has one child—Hazel Corinne), Katie (wife of James Wolf, and has one child James. Jr.), Charles, Harry and Burt; Mary L. , born July 10, 1847, widow of William Forsythe, whose children are John (ex-deputy county clerk, bookkeeper now in June's gristmill; he married Minnie Moore), Robert H. (in the livery business, at Fremont, Ohio; he married Mabel Dieffenbaugh, December 25, 1895); Margaret Evaline (who married Fred Birdsell, May 25, 1895); Lydia Ann, born November 14, 1851; and Charles J., born November 16, 1854, who was educated in the city schools, and attends to the general business interests of the family (he is unmarried). Mr. and Mrs. John Newman are, perhaps, the oldest couple now residing in Fremont. They celebrated their golden
wedding April 8, 1891.
