BEULAH — Osby David Newsome, 91, of Beulah, formerly of Warren, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013, at Paul Oliver Long-Term Care Facility in Frankfort. He was born Dec. 11, 1921, in Kentucky, the son of Bird and Eula (Manning) Newsome.
Osby had worked as a stationary engineer for Ford Motor Company in Highland Park for 41 years. After his retirement in 1978, he and his wife moved to Beulah, a town that had been an important part of his life since he was a young man.
In his spare time, Osby enjoyed fishing, especially on Crystal and Platte lakes. He also liked to hunt.
Osby was a devout member of Shepherd's Chapel, and he loved to listen to Pastor Arnold Murray proclaim the Word of the Lord. Osby will be remembered as a Christian of strong faith, a devoted family man, and a hard worker.
