Dr. Henry Newton DD, was Bishop of Carpentaria from 1915-1921 and Bishop of New Guinea from 1922-37. After his retirement he continued to live at Dogura, Papua.
After an illness of some months in Australia in 1947 he went back to Dogura where he died in September of that year.
The aged Bishop was widely-known and loved throughout the Pacific and in the United Kingdom. Those who would like to contribute to a lasting memorial to his work in Northern Australia and Papua, should send their donations direct to Miss lima C. Townson, 152 Alexandra Rd Clayfield, NE2, Queensland. Cheques should be endorsed “Newton Memorial Appeal Account.”
