When about two years old his parents came to the U.S. and settled in New Jersey where his early boyhood days were spent. In March, 1861, he came with his father to Wisconsin and settled at Glendale, Monroe County. In the month of May, of the same year, he enlisted in the United States service. Though slender and somewhat boyish, he had vitality, bravery, patriotism and manhood sufficient to enable him to follow the regiment, carrying his Belgian rife, buck and ball cartridge, knapsack and haversack, overcoat, etc. taking part in every engagement while with them without ever straggling or falling out.
He was at Manassas Junction in the morning and at Bull Run in the evening. He stood guard with Co. "I". 6th Wis. North of Centerville, when Jackson was passing to the right flank of Pope's army en route to Chantilly. He followed the company to South Mountain and fought up the mountain side. Stood in the fearful charge at Antietam and when Battery "B" was in forlorn hope, Thomas Newton carried ammunition to gunners. He was at Fredericksburg under Burnside and at Fitzhugh Crossing was in the first boart that landed on the opposite side. He was in charge of the railroad cut at Gettysburg and crossed bayonets with the 2nd Mississippi and saw them throw down their muskets. He marched to Culpepper, Va., where he reenlisted with his company. He fought in the wilderness at Lourel Hill, Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor. He crossed the James River on the 18th day of June, 1864, three years from the day he marched into camp Randall. He fought at Petersburg. When Lieutenant Brooks made up his list of men to accompany him to the rear of the Confederate army 33 men were chosen who were known to be brave, heroic soldiers who could be wholly relied upon. Mr. Newton was among the number. While upon this expedition, which was for the purpose of cutting telegraph wires and burning bridges that would end the supply of Lee's army he was captured by the enemy and sent to prison at Goldsborough, N.C. From there he was taken to Charleston, S.C. He was obliged to go at night and without his supper arriving about midnight where he was in hopes of getting something to eat, but it came only after fasting sixty long hours. From Charleston he was taken to Andersonville, where he arrived July 8th, 1864. ....Just how long Mr. Newton was in Andersonville, I cannot say, but after the taking of Atlanta he was sent to Florence where he had a run of what is called camp fever, very soon after he recovered he took a hard cold which caused a severe pain in his right side, from the effects of which he never recovered. Feb. 27th found him back within the Union lines near Wilmington, very much emaciated, but still loyal to the stars and stripes and his country. The date of his discharge is May 27th, 1865. Soon after he came to the home of his father in Monroe County. Not very long after he settled on a farm near Plymouth in Juneau Co. On the 11th day of April 1868, he was married to Kate E. Rowland. As a result of this union, two children were born to them. Clarence who lived with him at his home in Coloma, and Florence Gray also living in the same town.
AS a farmer, Mr. Newton was successful until his health failed him and he was obliged to give up the occupation. Subsequently he sold his farm and moved to Coloma and built him a home where his wife died Feb. 21st 1883. For nearly four years he kept house with his children who were a great comfort to him in his bereavement.
He again united in marriage with Anna Ball Crowder, Oct. 7th, 1887. This also proved to be a happy union, as was plain to be seen by all who knew them.
His funeral was conducted by the G.A.R., assisted by Rev. I. Jones. His aged father, who is also a member of the G.A.R. was present to witness the last sad rites of his departed son.
