General Notes: Husband - John D. F. Newell

---

His childhood was passed in Mahoningtown, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and his education included the instruction imparted to him in the public schools, in the high school of New Castle, and in Geneva College of Northwood, Ohio. As a last finishing touch, he took a course in Duff's Business College of Pittsburgh. When but a mere lad of but ten or twelve summers, he began clerking in his father's store, and grew up in the business, his whole career having been identified with mercantile pursuits. In 1882, with his brother, he purchased his father's store and business, which was conducted under the firm name of Newell Bros. until 1888, when John secured the entire control of the store, and thereafter was its sole proprietor.
He was a Democrat in politics, and a member of Amazon Lodge, No. 135, Knights of Pythias, of Mahoningtown.
