Graveside
Rites For
Mrs. Newton
Graveside services were
held Wednesday afternoon,
November 14th, at three
o’clock in the Jackson City
Cemetery for Mrs. Robert
Park Newton, Sr., 88, former
widely known and greatly
beloved resident of Jackson,
who died November 13th in the
Orangeburg, S. C. Regional
Hospital following an extended
illness. A large coterie of
relatives and friends paid
tribute to Mrs. Newton.
Born Bessie Powell, August
30, 1885 in Coweta County, she
was the daughter of the late
Mr. Lewis Powell and the late
Mrs. Grace Orr Powell,
prominent and influential
citizens of Coweta County. She
was the widow of R. P. Newton,
Sr. who preceded her in death
by two years and seven days.
During her long residence in
Jackson Mrs. Newton was a
member of the First Baptist
Church which she served for a
great number of years with
love and dedication and was a
former member of the Jackson
Woman’s Club. Her late
husband was one of the
principal organizers of the
Jackson Kiwanis Club and as a
member of the Kiwanis Auxili
ary she rendered yeoman
service.
Soon after the death of her
husband in November 1971 she
moved to Orangeburg where
she was a resident of the
Methodist Home in that city for
the past two years, Orange
burg being the home of her son,
Robert Park Newton, Jr. and
family. She suffered a stroke
two weeks ago from which she
never rallied, death coming on
Tuesday afternoon, November
13th.
Rev. S. H. Odom of Jackson
officiated at the interment
service which was under the
direction of Haisten Funeral
Home.
Mrs. Newton is survived by
one son, Robert Park Newton,
Jr., Orangeburg, S. C.; three
grandchildren, Mrs. David
Bankes of St. Paul, Minnesota;
Robert Park Newton, 111,
Tampa, Fla; and William Aris
Newton II of Orangeburg, S.
C.; a sister-in-law, Miss Mary
Newton of Jackson; a number
of nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, the family
suggested contributions to the
Methodist Home in Orange
burg or your favorite charity.
Chamber
Suggests
Fuel Cuts
Jasper Dorsey, President of
the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce, this week urged all
businessmen to adhere to
President Nixon’s suggestions
and to encourage their em
ployees and families to do the
same in an effort to save
energy during this period of
crisis.
Dorsey said Georgians
should take five steps im
mediately to prevent unneces
sary hardship in the furture.
—Reduce highway speeds to a
maximum of 50 miles per hour.
—Turn off unneeded lights and
electric appliances.
-Lower thermostat settings to
between 65 and 68 degrees.
—Form car pools and encour
age friends to do the same.
—Support a return to Daylight
Saving Time.
“By going back to Daylight
Savings Time,” Dorsey said,
“More time would be spent
conducting business when
lights and extra heat are not
necessary. While this one
hour’s difference might seem
small, the net result would
actually be significant.”
“Over the! years Georgians
have faced other crises and
shown their willingness and
abiltiy to join together in
finding common solutions. We
have great faith in the people of
this State, and sincerely
believe that they will rally
behind this call to meet our
Energy Crisis."
