Elizabeth was the daughter of Jonathan & Eleanor Dicks Newman.

Elizabeth, daughter of Jonathan and Eleanor Dicks Newman, was born in Guilford county, North Carolina, March 31, 1830; departed this life April 12, 1918, aged 88 years and 11 days. Of her father's family, she is survived by a sister and one brother, Mrs. Sarah Newman hussy and Henry Newman, of Milton; three brothers, Edmund B., Granville S. and Milo Newman, having preceded her. Aside from her immediate family, she leaves several grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, with other relatives and friends to cherish her memory until they, too, are called.
The subject of this memoir, at the age of five years, came with her parents and family to Indiana. The trip was made overland with wagon and horses, and was a wonderful experience for her and her brothers and sister. Many little incidents happened along the way to impress their young minds and furnish them with interesting data to relate to their children and children's children in later years.
The journey to Indiana terminated at Milton, where Jonathan Newman soon established himself and family to become important factors in the pioneer history of the place.
It was here that our subject grew to womanhood and with a few exceptions, at intervals during her married life, was it that she lived elsewhere. And here she, too, took the place of the parents, long since passed into the great beyond, and became, herself, the pioneer resident of the place.
In religious belief she was of primitive Friends origin and lived and died in that faith, her thought being to "live as though He were, and thus to know that He is." In here disposition she was quiet, mingling but little in the gayeties of life, and yet she possessed a large circle of friends, many of whom, especially those of her early life, have passed out, even as she now hath done.
In her early young womanhood she was married to Benajah Atkinson, a native of New Jersey, and also of Friends origin. To them were born ten children, six of whom have preceded her in death, five of them dying in infancy or early childhood. One, Mrs. Gertrude Oakes, prominently know in charitable work of the city, died at Indianapolis five years ago. The husband and father passed on before her, about 1870 or 1871, at Pittsburg, leaving her with several little children to rear.
Soon after his death she, with her little family, returned to Milton, which she called home, ever and after, until she was called from time to eternity.
For several years she had been spending the winters with her daughter, Mrs. Frank Izor, at Indianapolis, and so it was that the summons came for her while at her daughter's in that city. Although she had been in failing health only a few days previous to her death, it was thought she would be able to return home, and she was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her son from New York, who spend his summer vacations with her here.
After dinner on Saturday, April 6, she went to her room and later an un-wonted silence attracted her daughter to go to her mother, whom she found unconscious and lying partially across the bed. Medical aid was summoned and it was found that she had been stricken on the left side with paralysis. No earthly aid could more avail. She never, apparently, regained consciousness. Her children, Earl Atkinson of New York City; Charles of South Bend; Newman of Indianapolis, were immediately called and with the daughter, Mrs. Frank Izor, were able to administer to the last wants of their beloved mother, and on Friday morning, at 9:30 o'clock, the boat touched the shore for her, and "like one who wraps the mantle of his couch around him, and lies down to pleasant dreams," she quietly embarked. There was no moaning of the bar, nor sad farewells, for her, as she put out to sea. And may we not believe that could she have expressed herself, it would have been in these words:
"For though from out our bourne of time and place the flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face when I have crossed the bar."
The body was brought from Indianapolis to her home at this place Sunday morning, where the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Amos Outland, pastor of Friends church, at two o'clock p.m., the Rev. F. C. McCormick giving the scripture lesson and offering prayer. The music was given by Miss Cora Brown. There were many beautiful flowers, sent by relatives and friends and a beautiful card from the M.E. church as Milton.
The internment was in the family lot at Southside cemetery, beside her husband and children.
The relatives and friends from out of town in attendance were the children, Earl Atkinson, of New York City; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Izor, Mr. and Mrs. Newman Atkinson, of Indianapolis; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Atkinson and their daughter, Miss Bernice, of South Bend; the grandchildren, Ruzzell Izor, Misses Mary and Annabelle Atkinson and Lawrence Atkinson; Mr. and Mrs. Walter Atkinson and daughter, of Indianapolis; the nephews and nieces; Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Newman, and daughter, Miss Charlotte, of Cambridge City; Mesdames Frank Kennard, of Knightstown; Jesse James, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Elizabeth Harden of Knightstown.
