S. Newton Pettis

Solomon Newton Pettis (October 10, 1827 – September 18, 1900) was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.

On March 21, 1861, President Lincoln appointed Pettis an associate justice of Colorado Territory, but he never really served in the position.

He remained absent until his replacement, Allen A. Bradford was appointed associate justice in June 1862.

Pettis was elected as a Republican to the Fortieth Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Darwin A. Finney.
