  Newton. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Newton 
  married, 
  April 
  14th, 
  1859, 
  Anna 
  C, 
  

   daughter 
  of 
  the 
  Rev. 
  Joseph 
  C. 
  Stiles, 
  D. 
  D., 
  of 
  Georgia, 
  at 
  

   one 
  time 
  pastor 
  of 
  the 
  Mercer 
  Street 
  Presbyterian 
  Church 
  in 
  

   New 
  York 
  City, 
  and 
  subsequently 
  of 
  the 
  South 
  Church 
  in 
  New 
  

   Haven. 
  She 
  survived 
  her 
  husband 
  but 
  three 
  months, 
  leaving 
  

   two 
  daughters. 
  

  

  In 
  all 
  these 
  relations 
  of 
  life, 
  the 
  subject 
  of 
  this 
  sketch 
  exhib- 
  

   ited 
  the 
  same 
  traits 
  of 
  character 
  which 
  are 
  seen 
  in 
  his 
  published 
  

   papers, 
  the 
  same 
  modesty, 
  the 
  same 
  conscientiousness, 
  the 
  same 
  

   devotion 
  to 
  high 
  ideals. 
  His 
  life 
  was 
  the 
  quiet 
  life 
  of 
  the 
  

   scholar, 
  ennobled 
  by 
  the 
  unselfish 
  aims 
  of 
  the 
  Christian 
  

   gentleman 
  ; 
  his 
  memory 
  will 
  be 
  cherished 
  by 
  many 
  friends 
  ; 
  

   and 
  so 
  long 
  as 
  astronomers, 
  while 
  they 
  watch 
  the 
  return 
  

   of 
  the 
  Leonids 
  marking 
  off 
  the 
  passage 
  of 
  the 
  centuries, 
  

   shall 
  care 
  to 
  turn 
  the 
  earlier 
  pages 
  of 
  this 
  branch 
  of 
  astronomy, 
  

   his 
  name 
  will 
  have 
  an 
  honorable 
  place 
  in 
  the 
  history 
  of 
  the 
  

   science.
