Mary A. Chamberlain, age 20, daughter of Samuel F. and Abigail T. Chamberlain, married Arthur C. Newell born at Barnstead, Belknap County, New Hampshire about 1840,
son of William H. Newell and Olive Newell, on Janaury 11, 1872 in New Durham, Strafford County, New Hampshire.
(Arthur had married Jennie S. Hayes in Rochester, New Hampshire in 1868..)
Biography of Arthur C. Newell member of the Class of 1864 at Dartmouth College
In 1880 Strafford County, New Hampshire, Arthur is a physician and druggist, 41, Mary A. 29, with Agnes 1.
(St. Joe was surveyed and platted in 1881 by Joe Skelton,
and for a few years was an enterprising little burg.
The post-offices of Bunker Hill and Lincoln Valley were discontinued,
and that of St. Joe established. In 1884 the Burlington & Missouri
River Railroad was built through the west part of the county,
and the town of Phillips located. The post-office at St. Joe was then removed to Phillips,
and most of the buildings of St. Joe followed.
Major Skelton purchased the lots which had been sold, and July 7, 1886,
the commissioners on petition of Mr. Skelton, vacated the town, and it became
a part of that gentleman's farm.)

Surgeon Newell was born in Barnstead, N. H., May 2, 1839,
and was the son of William Hill and Olive (Dennett) Newell.
He received his preliminary education in the common schools
of Barnstead and the academies at Pittsfield and New Hampton, and was two years in Dartmouth College. He commenced
the study of medicine with Dr. John Wheeler of Pittsfield, in
1862, and continued the same with Jonathan Smith Ross,
M. D., surgeon of the Eleventh New Hampshire Volunteers.
He attended medical lectures at Dartmouth and the Cincinnati
Medical College and was graduated from the latter in 1865.
This Cincinnati Medical College is one of the oldest medical
colleges in Ohio, and one from which, occasionally,
New Hampshire men have been graduated for a long period ; the late Dr.
Gage was a graduate of that college, in 1837.
Dr. Newell commenced the practice of medicine in South
Barnstead, where he remained only a few months, removing to
Gonic village, remaining there for a few years, and was afterwards, for nearly ten years,
in the town of Farmington, N. H. ;[Farmington, population 2063 in 1870, had "D.T. Parker, A.C. Newell, apothecaries and fancy goods."
from there he removed to St. Joseph, Mo., and after a short
period removed to Long Pine, Neb., where he died December
18, 1884, and was buried in St. Joseph, Mo. [THIS MIGHT BE ST. JOE, NEBRASKA.]
He was a member of the New Hampshire and Strafford District Medical
Societies, belonged to the Masons, Odd Fellows and other fraternal societies,
and while in Farmington he was a member of
the school committee.
His military service was first a private in Company B of
the Twelfth New Hampshire, in which he enlisted August 30,
1862, but was immediately transferred to Company G of the
Eleventh Regiment, from which he was discharged August 9,
1864, at Fort Covington, Ky., to accept promotion. It was
during his two years' service in the Eleventh Regiment that
he gave attention to the study of medicine under the direction
of Surgeon Ross. Prior to being mustered out of the Eleventh Regiment, he was appointed medical cadet for one year,
and was discharged May 2, 1865, to again accept promotion.
He was mustered in as assistant surgeon of the Eighteenth
Ohio Infantry May 18, 1865, and remained with the regiment
until October 9, 1865, when he was mustered out of the United
States service.
Surgeon Newell was twice married: first, to Jennie Hayes
of Gonic, N. H. ; second, to Mary, daughter of Samuel Chamberlain of New Durham, N. H.
Three children, two of whom are living: Agnes and Arthur Newell.

April 1, 1899 "A telegram came from San Antonio, Texas, Thursday
morning announcing the death of Mrs. F. D. Johnson, and the news has cast a general feeling
of gloom over the community, for Mrs. Johnson was known and loved by all. She, with her daughter,
Miss Agness Newell, went to Texas in January, hoping that under the mild skies of the southern
climate she might at least alleviate the evils of consumption, which had already assumed an
alarming form. Her friends here could hardly hope for her recovery and were partly prepared
for the news of her death. Miss Newell has been a faithful attendant at the side of her
mother during all her latest sickness.
One of the saddest features of her death is the fact that she was
so far from her husband and home that it was impossible to got word to Mr. Johnson in
time for him to reach her before she passed away. The remains will be brought to Wray
and interred in the cemetery here Monday afternoon.
A full obituary notice will be given next week."
Mary is buried in Wray # 64261823.

paying lumber yard. Art will be missed at the college.
He has been with us for four years and has won for himself a
popularity which has worn well."
May 1903 "Arthur Newell is down from Denver looking after his interest this week."

December 1953 El Paso
More than half a century of service in the Finance Office at Ft. Bliss is represented by the
records of Mrs. Lydia S. Kelley of the civilian payroll section; Mrs. Lillian M. Aschoff of commarcial accounts; and Mrs. Nellie N. Kingston disbursing division.
Bugles sounding for Cavalry horse shows in Howze Stadium,
pay vouchers mailed out for depression era CCC Camps, pay checks written for the late
Maj. Gen. Innis P. Swift and others whose names were destined to be headline news -
these are only a few of the interesting memories of three employees of the
Ft. Bliss Finance Office. Mrs. Nellie N. Kingston of 1155 Elm street,
Mrs. Lillian M. Aschofl of 2601 Alabama street, and Mrs. Lydia S. Kelley
of 3308 Tularosa street all started work in the Finance Office during the
middle 1930's-Mrs. Kingston in 1934, Mrs. Aschoff in 1935, and Mrs. Kelley in 1937.
The weather-beaten but still sturdy Finance Office near the old "street tar gate"
on the post was newer then. "I recall dropping pennies into the concrete poured
for the base of the first vault in the building, "Mrs. Kingston said
. "I and other employees went up to the unfinished second story and
walked across the rafters to drop the coins down into the hardening concrete.
During the dark days of the depression years, the Finance Office handled payroll
payments for 110 Civilian Conservation Corps office camps scattered through the Southwest.
Those were hectic times for the Finance staff. Each check was required to be mailed
so that it reached its destination by the time his postman made his regular round
on a specific day of the month. If the checks were delayed en route,
or for any reason were a few hours late, the office would be deluged
with letters demanding, "Where is my check?"
The Cavalry post days had pleasant aspects, too, the women said.
"The Finance Office looks out toward Howze Stadium, and the music of the
Cavalry's bugle calls drifted in through the open windows.
On occasions the Finance Office staff was excused from duty to attend
the horse shows which were noted events in El Paso's social calendar.
That, of course, was in the peaceful days before Pearl Harbor.
With the War years, Ft. Bliss entered a period of tremendous expansion.
Payrolls for thousands of Antiaircraft Artillerymen replaced those for the Cavalry gone overseas.
Almost overnight Logan Heights became a sprawling training area and the Main Post was crowded
to capacity. Paying for all these changes and expansions was the giant job of the
Finance Office. In addition to the swift tempo of office activity, bond drives and other
wartime projects kept finance office employees busy during their off-duty hours.
The office had its own "war bond queen" during one of the drives.
Army and civilian employe payrolls, large as they are, are only a part of ihe work
of the finance office. A second task is paying the Army's commercial bills—for everything
needed for the equipment and running of the post. A third important phase of finance
office work is paying for the Army's huge construction program —not only at Ft. Bliss
and in the adjoining area but also for the projects of the Army's Albuquerque district
engineer from as far away as Wingate Ordnance Depot. As its duties have grown, so has
the staff of the finance office. In 1934, five cilivians were employed, along with
military personnel. There are now 83 civilians in addition to military personnel,
engaged in finance activities. Mrs. Kingston, who holds the seniority in years of
consecutive service in the office, is now chief of the disbursing division and the
administrative unit of the office.
