General Notes: Husband - Alexander Dell Newell

---

He passed his boyhood at Norwich, New York, where his mother kept her store. He received his primary education in the public schools, and afterwards entered West Point Military Academy, receiving the appointment from Senator Chase. When he was only seventeen years old he enlisted at Rochester, New York, as a private in the Twenty-second New York Cavalry. At the close of the Civil War he returned home and entered business life, becoming interested in the sewing machine industry. He was gifted with unusual mechanical ability and intelligence, and became the inventor of the first attachments used on sewing machines; they were known as the "Newell Attachments." He remained for a period of eight years at Corry, Erie County, Pennsylvania, engaged in the retail business, and in 1876 removed to Oil City, Venango County, where he pursued the same line of business for the Howe, another make of sewing machines. He remained in Oil City about three years, when he removed to Bradford, Pennsylvania, where in connection with the machine business he also dealt in pianos and organs. In the year 1881, on account of ill health, he disposed of his trade to his brother, George Newell, and went south, where he died at Waldron Ridge, Tennessee. His remains were interred at Corry, Pennsylvania. He was a Republican in his political convictions, and was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, being commander of the J. J. Andrews Post, No. 70, of Corry. His service during the war had been as first lieutenant of Company A, Sixteenth Regiment of the National Guard of Pennsylvania, at Corry. He was also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
