Clinton Eugene Newman (25 July 1929 - 12 November 1978) was a Canadian-American man, youngest brother of Bruce Newman.

Early life

Eugene was born 25 July 1929, in Windsor, Ontario, to Clinton Newman and Eugenia Swift. He presumably was referred to by his middle name to disambiguate him from his father, who went by his middle name, "Clinton".

In 1939 he's living at 44 St. Louis, Riverside, Windsor, Ontario.

On 7 October 1939 he travelled with both his parents to Detroit, Michigan, to reside permanently.

He served as a Private First Class (PFC) [1] in the U.S. Army, an accomplishment noted on his tombstone.

His social security number was 385-26-1752, issued in Michigan before 1951.

Death

Eugene's tombstone in Spring Lake, Michigan

He lived at Spring Lake, Michigan just before his death.

He died 12 November 1978, in Grand Haven, Michigan. This is just a bit south of where his mother was living when she died, so presumably she was living in Muskegon to be near to her youngest son.

Like his eldest brother Bruce, he died an early death, aged just 49 years old.
