NEWMAN, Charles S.
==========================================================================
Charles S. Newman, farmer, northwest quarter of Section 1, is a native of
Prussia, and immigrated in 1853, and in 1857 came to this state, working
first for one year in a Muskegon sawmill, and three years for Carleton, on
White River.  He came to Otto in 1861, and has resided on his present
place ever since.  He has now a fine farm of 160 acres, two acres of
orchard, a good dwelling, and perhaps the best barn in the town, erected
in 1879, at a cost of $600.  It is 40x50 feet, with twenty feet posts and
a stone foundation.  Mr. Newman was town treasurer in 1881.  He married,
in 1854, in Monroe County, Pa., Philopena Miwaite, and has five surviving
sons, only two of whom are now at home.
