Newton Longacre

Newton Treichler Longacre, 73, of Barto, husband

of Julia A. (Buchak) Longacre, passed away on Friday,

August 5, 2016, at his residence.

Born in Bally, he was the son of the late Kathryn H. (Treichler) and Daniel E. Longacre.

He was a 1960 graduate of Boyertown High School.

Newton served as a military mechanic at ByBerry. He was a member of Bally Mennonite Church. Mr. Longacre is

co-owner of Longacre's Modern Dairy in Barto.

Newton was a volunteer fireman for 50 years for Bally Fire Company. He is the current President of the Bally Community Ambulance Board and the current Washington Township Auditor. He also served on the Washington Township Sewer Authority.

He enjoyed attending Auctions and Flea markets; there is not a local auction house that does not have his number. He found great joy in his work in the dairy and always eager to lend a helping hand or help someone in need. He had a

generous heart, but it was too weak to sustain him.

Surviving, in addition to his wife of 48 years, are two sons, Newton T. Longacre II, of Reading, and Jason E. Longacre, husband of Kerri, of Barto; seven grandsons: Daulton R. Longacre, Dylan Newton Longacre, Devon S. Longacre, Max H. Longacre. Wyatt E. Longacre, Chase K. Longacre and Ely K. Longacre; two brothers, Daniel T. Longacre, of Bally, and Timothy T. Longacre, of Bally; and two sisters, Kathryn T. Longacre, of Bally, and Diane T. Longacre, of Reading.

A funeral service will be held on Friday, August 12, 2016, at 11 a.m. at Bally Mennonite Church, 1481 Route 100, Bally, PA 19503. A viewing will be held on Thursday evening from 6-8:30 p.m. at Bally Mennonite Church. Burial will be in Bally Mennonite Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Bally Community Ambulance, P.O. Box 353, Bally, PA 19503.
