Death of Newtons
Jess Newton died on March 4, 1960, having lived out the remainder of his life as a cowboy in Uvalde. A veteran of the Texas Brigade of World War One, he died in a VA hospital. He never was able to remember where the buried money was, and often complained about the country being taken off the gold standard since he apparently lost a great deal of money when stolen bonds were left unredeemed.
Roughly beaten in his last arrest, Dock entered hospital and never fully recovered, although he lived until 1974, dying at the age of 83.
Willis lived to age 90, fierce and unrepentant to the end. He died of old age on August 22, 1979.
Well loved in the town of Uvalde, owner of a cafe and other small businesses, an avid horseman into his 80s, youngest brother Joe Newton died at age 88 on February 3, 1989.

Famous quotes containing the words death of and/or death:
“I admit that the generation which produced Stalin, Auschwitz and Hiroshima will take some beating; but the radical and universal consciousness of the death of God is still ahead of us; perhaps we shall have to colonize the stars before it is finally borne in upon us that God is not out there.”
—R.J. Hollingdale (b. 1930)
“There are confessable agonies, sufferings of which one can positively be proud. Of bereavement, of parting, of the sense of sin and the fear of death the poets have eloquently spoken. They command the world’s sympathy. But there are also discreditable anguishes, no less excruciating than the others, but of which the sufferer dare not, cannot speak. The anguish of thwarted desire, for example.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
