Mrs. Sara Nalley Newton died August 11, 2006.
Mrs. Newton was born in Easley, SC on May 30, 1917 to Elford and Olivia Smith Nalley, one of nine siblings; she was the twin sister of G.B. Nalley. She was married to Naaman N. Newton in 1935 and became his partner in business as well as in life. Mrs. Newton was the mother of two children: Robert N. Newton and Sara N. Ballentine and her husband Robert Ballentine.
