John Adrian Newpher

He had been residing at The Pines Nursing Home in Lyndonville, Vt., but had previously lived in other towns in the Northeast Kingdom area of Vermont.

Born in Hazletown, Pa., to Rev. John D. Newpher and Gladys Hoover Newpher, he grew up in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Oreland, Pa. He graduated from Millersville State College, (now University) in Pennsylvania. His continued schooling included certification in electrical work and a master’s degree in Christian Education at The Philadelphia Lutheran Theological Seminary.

With his former wife, Darlene Tyce, (divorced), he moved to Vermont in 1982. He was a reporter and editor with The Caledonian-Record in St. Johnsbury for many years until his retirement.

There will be no calling hours or services.
