General Notes: Husband - Jonathan Newmyer

---

He lived on the family homestead in Bullskin township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, place until his death.

In the little village of Pennsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, there stood an old brick mansion which was built by Jonathan Newmyer, and which was for many years the center of the social and religious activity of all that community. As all the Newmyer family were stanch Baptists and the only church in that part of the country was Baptist, the family home became the stopping place for all visiting preachers and other religions workers. In fact, it was commonly known as the "Baptist Hotel." A true exponent of that old-fashioned hospitality, Jonathan Newmyer's doors were open to every applicant, regardless of his station in life. He owned and operated a large estate, and was also the justice of the peace for that neighborhood, having an office near the house. A large stone barn on the other side of the house gave a sense of balance and completeness to the scene. An oil painting of the place was made by Charles C. Lyon, who married Emmeline, one of the daughters of Jonathan Newmyer. The home is a type of those old-fashioned homesteads so well described by Longfellow, in the poem beginning,
Somewhat back from the village street
Stands the old-fashioned country seat.
