NEWELL The Newells of the stock men- tioned below are descended from pioneers of Roxbury, who possibly came from Essex in England. In the early town and Colonial records the name is spelled in many different ways.

(I) Abraham Newell sailed from Ipswich, England, in the ship "Ffrancis," John Cut- ting, master, came to Massachusetts and set- tled in Roxbury, in 1634. At that time he was fifty years old. The custom house records show that he was accompanied by his wife "ffrances," forty years old, and children as follows: ffaith, fourteen years old; Grace, thirteen ; Abraham, eight; John, 1, five;

"Isaacke," two; and Jacob, born on the pas- sage. Faith is named as Ruth by mistake in the records. Abraham Newell was made a freeman, March 14, 1635, died June 13, and was buried June 15, 1672, aged, says record, ninety-one years. His widow Frances died January 13, 1683, aged one hundred, says the town records, which greatly exaggerates. Edward Porter and Abraham Newell were the original proprietors of the homesteads and orchards afterwards known as "Maccarty farm." This tract contained sixty acres and lay between Hawthorne street and Walnut avenue, on both sides of Washington street, extending from Cedar on the north to Mar- cella street on the south. In a deed from Abraham to his sons, Isaac and Jacob, he is described as a "tayler."

(II) Isaac, third son of Abraham and Frances Newell, was brought from England to Roxbury by his father in 1634, at the age of two years. He died December 8, 1707, aged seventy-five. His name is signed to a deed of land from the Indians to William Stoughton and Joseph Dudley, 1682. Savage says he married, December 14, 1658, Elizabeth, daugh- ter of William Curtis, though the record then calls him John. Children : Isaac, Josiah (died young), Sarah, Abraham (died young), Eliza- beth, Hannah, Ebenezer, Experience and Josiah.

(III) Lieutenant Isaac (2), eldest son of Isaac ( I) and Elizabeth (Curtis) Newell, was born in Roxbury, December 11, 1660. The town records state that "Liff Isaac Newell" was surveyor of highways March 4, 1717. His wife was Sarah. Children : Isaac, Philip, Me- hitable, Abigail, Jonathan, Benjamin, and Sarah.

(IV) Benjamin, youngest son of Isaac (2), and Sarah Newell, was born January 20, 1703, in Roxbury, and resided in Dudley. He mar- ried, May 4, 1726, Sarah Folly; children : Sarah, Benjamin, Abijah, Hannah, Stephen, John, Caleb, and Ame.

(V) Abijah, second son of Benjamin and Sarah (Polly) Newell, was born January 9, 1731, and lived in Dudley. He married, De- cember 6, 1753, Hepzibah (or Hephsibeth) Curtis, who died September 22, 1834, aged one hundred years twelve days. She lived to see many descendants, some of whom were of the fifth generation from her. The children of this marriage were: Amy, Stephen, Hep- zibah, Abigail, Chloe, Margaret, Harmon, Jared and Polly.

(VI) Stephen, eldest son of Abijah and Hepzibah (Curtis) Newell, was born in Dud- ley, Massachusetts, June 7, 1758, and died in 1848, aged ninety years. He resided at Monson. He married, January 12, 1781, Louisa (or Lois) Sikes, who died September 27, 18 , aged sixty-six years. Children : Louisa (or Lois), Katherine, Betsey, Clarissa. Cyrus, John, Susannah, and Persis.

(VII) Cyrus, eldest son of Stephen and Louisa (Sikes) Newell, was born in Monson, April 30, 1790, and died in Longmeadow, Oc- tober 21, 1865, and was buried at Longmeadaw cemetery. He took up his residence in Long- meadow about 1834 and was engaged in farm- ing. He married (first) Polly Jones, of Wilbraham, by whom he had four children, who died in infancy. He married (second) Celina Sessions, of Wilbraham, born August 6, 1789, died in Longmeadow, 1887. They

had Samuel Ruggles, Nelson Cyrus, Horace Sessions and Charles Sikes.

(VIII) Nelson Cyrus, second son of Cyrus and Celina (Sessions) Newell, was born in Springfield, March II, 1824. When he was about ten years of age the family removed to the adjoining town of Longmeadow, where his father had bought a farm. There the boy grew up inured to farm work, attending the common school for several years in the win- ter. He also spent one term at Monson Academy. In 1844 he was invited by his cousin, Edwin M. Chaffee, to go to Nauga-

tuck, Connecticut. Mr. Chaffee had been associated with Charles Goodyear in his ex- periments with India rubber which resulted in the discovery of the process which he called vulcanization, and for which he (Goodyear ) received a patent June 15, 1844. Mr. Chaffee was the first man who successfully spread rubber on cloth and thus made rubber cloth. He was also the inventor of steam machinery for grinding rubber and mixing other ingre- dients with rubber, and so making a rubber paste. Previous to the construction of this machinery all rubber had been dissolved in turpentine when flexibility was required. In 1844 Mr. Goodyear, William De Forest and others formed a company and established a factory for the manufacture of rubber cloth- ing at Naugatuck, whither Mr. Chaffee also went in the same year in the service of the company. He established a shop at Union City, where he carried on experiments. It was while thus engaged that he invited Nelson Newell to enter his services, offering him as wages twelve dollars a month and board. Mr. Newell soon had the principal charge of the factory conducted by Mr. Chaffee, and the business was carried on nearly two years ; but in the fall of 1846 William De Forest, who had assisted Mr. Chaffee with capital, having failed, the latter also became involved and his factory passed into the hands of his creditors. They proposed to Mr. Newell, then twenty- one years old, to take the property as it stood, and offered to receive his notes without security in payment. He accepted the offer and was soon able to pay off the notes and accumu- late a small capital. Hle then entered into partnership with Horace B. Ames, under the firm name of Ames & Newell, Mr. Newell re- maining at Naugatuck and having charge of the manufacturing, and Mr. Ames attending to the outside business and sales, and having a store in New York. After continuing for two years this partnership was dissolved, and

Mr. Newell, retiring from the business, re- turned in the latter part of 1848 to Long- meadow, where he entered into partnership with his father-in-law, Dimond Chandler. Mr. Chandler had carried on the business of gold- smith and silversmith in New York, and had accumulated a small capital which by Mr. Newell's advice he had invested in the manu- facture of buttons and buckles at Long- meadow. The new firm assumed the name of D. Chandler & Company. A few months later Samuel R. Newell became a member of the firm. In addition to covered buttons, D. Chandler & Company at first devoted them- selves to the manufacture of japanned and other metallic buttons for trousers, and of buckles for trousers and vests. Both of these branches were however soon abandoned as unprofitable. In 1855 Mr. Chandler retired from the firm, and the Messrs. Newell con- tinued the business under the firm name of Newell Brothers, confining themselves for sev- eral years to the manufacture of covered buttons. Their business at Longmeadow in- creased steadily until 1863, when they removed their works to' their present premises in Springfield. The firm began in 1864 a new branch of the button manufacture by making use of vegetable ivory. For the purpose of producing buttons from this material, Newell brothers organized, as early as 1878, the Glen- eida Company, in order to make goods of a cheaper quality. It occupied a brick factory half a mile from the works of the Newell Brothers' Manufacturing Company. The Newell Brothers' Manufacturing Company was organized with the object of admitting some of their operatives to an interest in the business, Newell Brothers, however, retaining a controlling share. In 1868 they established a store in New York, and John C. Dickinson was their first selling agent. In 1875 Mr. Dickinson entered partnership in the mercan- tile department at New York, which was con- ducted under the firm name of Newell Brothers & Dickinson until about 1879. Samuel R. and N. C. Newell united, in the spring of 1875, with John C. Dickinson and his brother, in the organization of the Dickin- son Rubber Company, each partner taking one-fourth of the capital stock. A. L. Dick- inson had been for several years selling agent in New York of the Novelty Rubber Com- pany, a specialty of which was the manufac- ture of buttons from hard rubber. The Dick- inson Rubber Company was organized for the same manufacture, and occupied a brick

building erected by the company, adjoining the factories of the Newell Brothers' Manu- facturing Company. The Dickinson Rubber Company began late in 1875 the manufacture of another kind of buttons, the material for which was prepared from a mixture devised by Isaac Smith, superintendent of the factory of the Dickinson Rubber Company. The ma- terial is called "eborene," from its resemblance to ivory. After carrying on the business almost forty years it was consolidated in 1902 with that of Williston & Knight, of East Hampton, and the Boston Button Company, under the name of the United Button Com- pany, in which Mr. Newell still retains an in- terest. Until the recent consolidation Nelson C. Newell was president and manager of the company, and treasurer after the death of Samuel R. Newell. The business has in- creased from year to year and new buildings have constantly been added. The number of employes finally amounted to four hundred. Horace S. Newell, a younger brother, was an overseer of one department of the concern. The four sons of Nelson C. Newell were also connected with its operations. The eldest, Howard N. Newell, was overseer of covered buttons; the second, Albert W. Newell, was from the beginning of the agency in New York a salesman in the store and later became manager; the third, William C. Newell, was overseer of vegetable ivory buttons; the youngest, Charles W. Newell, was superin- tendent of the factory of the Gleneida Com- pany.

Nelson C. Newell was a director in the old City Bank from the time of its foundation until it was merged into the Union Trust Company, when the latter institution was formed in 1906. For about thirty years he has been a director in the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, and was a director in the Springfield Foundry Company, of which he is now a stockholder. He is a director of Oak Grove Cemetery Association. He is vice-president and was the organizer of the Newell-Putnam Manufacturing Company of Springfield, accomplishing the organization of this company after he was eighty years old. In youth Mr. Newell became a member of the Congregational church, where his father played the violincello. All the family were musical, four Newell brothers being in one choir, and were much sought for concerts and to serve in choirs. Nelson was always fond of music, taught singing school during the four years he was in Naugatuck, giving all

evenings to that diversion. For about thirty years he was leader of the church choir. Mr. Newell has always been a consistent Repub- lican from the time he cast his first ballot, but has never been an office seeker. He served one term as a member of the common council of Springfield, and was asked a num- ber of times to run for the legislature, but always declined. His life, by a combination of energy, judgment and good fortune, has been singularly successful, and he is among the leading men of Springfield to-day.

(VIII) Captain Joseph Keith, second son of William and Caroline ( Keith) Newell, was born at Enfield, October 17, 1837, and was taken to Springfield by his parents in 1840, and died there May 18, 1895. He attended public schools when the old State street school stood on the site of the present court house and was one of the early pupils of the high school which stood on the ground now occupied by the police station. When a boy he was for a time employed in A. S. Pease's confectionery store, at that time located op- posite the Chicopee Bank. He was after- ward for a period of seven years connected with the business department of The Repub- lican, and was liked and trusted by the late Samuel Bowles, Clark W. Bryan and Dr. Hol- land. At times he was called upon to do re- porting, and proved ready and capable assist- ant. He was next employed by T. M.
