General Notes: Husband - John A. New

---

He was born in Hesse-Kassel, Grossenmohr, Germany, came to America in the month of April, 1857, and at once took up the trade of a baker, serving two years with Frederick Frankenbach. He followed his trade, and in 1866 engaged in business for himself on the South Side, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He became the leading baker and caterer in that section of the city, and there laid the foundation for his fortune, which consisted of good property in both South Pittsburgh and elsewhere throughout the city. He continued in the bakery trade until 1893, when he retired and then spent his time mostly in looking after his real estate interests. He erected his own residence in 1897. Politically Mr. New was a Republican, while in church relations he was a member of the Evangelical Association at the corner of Center and Graham streets. He was a member of the registration board of the city in the Twentieth ward.
