Born in Richmond, Virginia, Newman moved with his family to Clarksville when he was eleven. He studied art in New York, England, and France. Nationally recognized for his work, over 190 of his paintings have been located. Newman served as a lieutenant in the Confederate Army from 1861-1864. Although he traveled extensively, his permanent home was a house which stood here. Newman died in New York and was returned to Clarksville for burial.
