Mr. Newman, who had been ill for only a few moments was 79 years old.
A native of Waynesboro, he was the son of Samuel David and Irene (Harne) Newman.
For several years he had served as a school teacher at Smithsburg, Chewsville, and Keedysville. However, he turned from teaching to banking, joining the staff of the Nicodemus National Bank, and later being named its cashier.
He had retired from this post on December 2, 1947. However, he had continued as an active member of the board of directors of the bank, attending his last meeting in that capacity on Wednesday, December 23.
Mr. Newman was a member of Christ's Evangelical and Reformed Church, and the Salem Masonic Lodge of Smithsburg.
Surviving are grandchildren, Miss Mary Agnes Hogan, New York City; Richard Hogan, Baltimore; brothers, Hoy D. Newman and J. Max Newman, both of Smithsburg.
