Lynwood Newton, 94, of Campbellsville, KY, son of the late Mary Burress Newton and Johnny Gobel Newton was born November 27, 1928 in Taylor County, Kentucky. He died at 1:44pm, Saturday, July 8, 2023 in Campbellsville.
Lynwood grew up on Smith Ridge where he worked alongside his parents and siblings on the family farm. He married Juanita Benningfield on May 14, 1949. She preceded him in death on August 13, 2021.
Lynwood was always a hard worker. In his youth, he began walking back and forth from the farm into town to work at Eades Dairy, and once back home working until dark on farm chores. Lynwood would go on to get a job at Union Underwear Factory, where he worked for over 40 years before retiring. He also helped at Parrott & Ramsey Funeral Home, assisting with ambulance runs and funerals before his second shift job as supervisor in the Knitting Room. That’s how he came to introduce his future son-in-law, Terry Dabney to his daughter, Judy.
Lynwood was a devoted member of Good Hope Baptist Church for his entire married life. He served as a deacon for many years and as the SundaySchool Superintendent for 67 years. He loved his church home and singing in the choir, especially those Easter and Christmas Cantatas.
After retirement, Lynwood worked more than ever. He had a deep drive to spread the Gospel. He did this through volunteering with the Bill Glass Prison Ministries, Gideons International, Taylor County Food Pantry, and the Emmaus Community. He and Juanita visited many prisons, where they shared Christ’s love and built lasting relationships. They were often thrilled by the correspondence they continued to send and receive from inmates. This experience opened Lynwood’s heart and he developed more empathy and compassion for those imprisoned.
Lynwood was a devoted son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, church member, volunteer, and community member. He was an extrovert with few private thoughts, a hugger who loved to laugh and tell a tale and offer words of wisdom, as he saw it. He was genuine and positive, often responding to questions of concern that he was content and did not worry because worry was a waste of time. He rarely missed a sporting event or a chance to “love the fire out of your guitar” of one of his grandchildren or great grandchildren.
SURVIVORS:
4 children; Judy Dabney, Debbie Wade (Dee), Jeff Newton (Cathy) and Russ Newton (Krista)
8 grandchildren: Tara Dabney, Traver Dabney (Kelli), Jenny Newton (Eric), Ben Newton (Sheere), Drew Newton (Megan), Seth Wade, Grant Newton and Macy Newton in addition

Floyd Ray Farmer, 88, a beloved member of the Campbellsville community, passed away peacefully of natural causes on Monday, July 3, 2023. He was born on October 13, 1934 in Franklin, KY, a son of the late Roy and Ella McGlothlin Farmer.
Floyd was an accomplished academic. After attending local schools, he pursued higher education at Western Kentucky University, where he earned both a Master’s degree and a Rank One designation. His passion for education extended beyond his own personal achievements and into his professional life. Floyd dedicated many years to shaping young minds as a band teacher at Taylor County High School, leaving a lasting legacy on countless students throughout his career.
In addition to his teaching tenure, Floyd made significant contributions to his community through his involvement in various associations. He served as the past President of the Taylor County Teachers Organization, where he was a staunch advocate for educators' rights and students' needs. His love for the arts was reflected in his past presidency of the Central Kentucky Arts Series, where he worked tirelessly to bring cultural events to the area. Additionally, Floyd's competitive spirit was on full display during his tenure as President of the local Bridge Club, a role that combined his love for community engagement with his passion for the strategic card game.
Music was a central theme in Floyd's life. As a band teacher, he nurtured a love for music in his students and the broader community. He was often found humming a tune or tapping his foot to an internal rhythm. Even in retirement, Floyd continued to play an active role in local music events and activities. He was a familiar face at school concerts, community performances, and informal jam sessions. His love for music was infectious, and he leaves behind a community richer for his contributions.
Floyd Ray Farmer was a man who lived his life with purpose and passion. He was a loving father, a devoted educator, and a valued member of his community. His intelligent mind and faith-filled spirit touched many lives during his time with us, and his legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. We celebrate his life and the positive impact he made on the world around him. Floyd will be greatly missed, but his memory will continue to inspire us all.
In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his wife, Pamela Ingram Farmer; four brothers: Fred, Raymond, Wilson, and Albert Farmer; and two sisters: Jean Farmer Collins and Bernice (Sis) Farmer Akin.
