Ida Newbill, one of the oldest living residents of the U.S. state of Arkansas, celebrated her 110th birthday in Eudora on October 14th. Her birthday was first mentioned on the Facebook page of the “American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association.”
Newbill was born on 14 October 1914. She was raised attending Sunday School, and even after getting married, she remained committed to going to church and Sunday School. As of 2020, four of her children were still living. She has lived in Eudora for nearly 80 years, where she is a member of New Shiloh Baptist Church.
Since Newbill loves waving to the crew members of the North Louisiana & Arkansas Railroad trains that pass through her town, the NL&A brought a locomotive to her party to celebrate her 110th birthday.
