DEACON N. M. NEWMAN:  The subject of this sketch was born in 
Breckenridge [sic] County, Kentucky, on February 27, 1834.  His 
father, James H. Newman, was born in Prince William County, Virginia, 
and came to Kentucky in 1827.  His mother was Miss Adline Maxey of 
Hawesville, Kentucky.
	Nathaniel M. Newman lived with his parents until he reached the 
age of nineteen.  He married Miss Sarah F. Haynes on September 22, 
1858.  For a number of years after his marriage he followed the 
occupation of farming.  He later taught school only to go back to the 
farm in a short time.  Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Newman.  
Mrs. Newman died in 1868 and in the year 1869 he married Miss Mattie 
Haynes, a sister of his first wife.  She, too, died in 1876, leaving 
two children.  Mr. Newman married the third time in 1878, this time 
to Mrs. Kate L. Cheatham.
	In August, 1862, Mr. Newman enlisted in Company H., Tenth 
Kentucky Cavalry (Confederate), and was elected Second Lieutenant.  
He served six months and on account of failing eyesight and a spinal 
infection returned home.  He was nearly blind for three years.
	For a considerable length of time he served as Justice of the 
Peace.  He was probably a charter member of the Birk City Baptist 
Church (Stanley) and was for many years a deacon.  As to when he 
became a Christian we are not informed.  He died in the year 1916 
after having served the Stanley Church in the office of deacon for 
about forty years.  He also served as the Church Clerk from 1883 to 
1900 and again from 1908 to 1916, the year of his death.  In the 
meantime his face was a familiar sight at each annual gathering of 
the Association for many years.  He left a good record behind him.
