Ezra S. Newton, a son of Seth Newton, was born in Silver Creek Township, Stephenson County, Illinois, January 9, 1855. He was reared to a farm life in his native county, where he lived till 1876. He then came to Iowa with his father, who yet lives at State Center, Marshall County.

He left his father's home in 1880, since which he has been a resident of Black Hawk County, and now manages the property of his father-in-law, Samuel Berry, who is the owner of 2600 acres of improved land located in Black Hawk and Tama counties, Iowa. Mr. Newton was united in marriage May 26, 1880, to Miss Anzeletta Berry, daughter of Samuel and Charlotte (Allard) Berry.

Mrs. Newton was a native of the same county as her husband, born in Silver Creek Township, October 25, 1854. Mr. Newton is a young man of excellent business qualifications and by his industrious habits and persevering energy has proved himself worthy of the trust reposed in him.
