Charles Newell, son of John and Nancy Newell, of Belfast Ireland, was born April 4, 1855, at Pine Hill, Whitewater township, Dubuque, Ia., and passed away at this home in Storm lake, Wednesday evening, February 8th, 1922, at the age of 66 years, 10 months, and 4 days, following an illness with cancer of the liver.
The early part of his life was spent with his parents at Dubuque, iowa, except a year and a half which he spent in the copper mines at the Great Lakes. He came to Sac county in the year 1876, settling on a farm near Schaller. About two years later he purchased a farm near there, and the family continued to live at that place until the spring of 1905, when they retired from the farm and moved to Schaller. In the fall of 1913, he purchased a home in Storm Lake, and the family came here to live, and have since made this their home.
On November 30, 1882, he was united in marriage to Miss Lizzie M. Sanborn of Storm Lake, and to this union eight children were born, Lizzie B., Arthur W., Charles E., and baby Arlie, who died in infancy, and Mary F., Winifred O., Annie, and Edith, who survive.
Besides the beloved wife and daughters, Mr. Newell is survived by two brothers, Frank and James Newell of Storm Lake, and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Wilson of Cascade, Iowa, and Mrs. Sarah Honfo of Herman, Minnesota, besides other relatives and hosts of friends.
Mr. Newell had been in poor health for the past three years, but was not taken to his bed until the Saturday previous to his death. He had complained but little and his condition was not thought so serious until the last few months before his death. He had spent the past several months on his farm near Schaller, and as the greater part of his life had been spent on the farm, a great interest was there. His work in looking after the interest of the farm kept his mind from his illness and made his suffering less. About three weeks preceding his death, Mr. and Mrs. Newell returned to their home here, as Mr. Newell's condition was much worse and he continued to fall rapidly. All that medical aid and loving hands could do, were done for him, but to no avail and death came last Wednesday evening shortly after five o'clock.
Mr. Newell was a lover of home and family, and devoted his life to the care of the loved ones. He took an interest in everything for the good of the community in which he lived, and was a friend to all who knew him. His death will be deeply mourned by all, and the deep sympathy of all is extended to the family in their loss.
Funeral services were held at the home Saturday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. Donald M. Grant, of the Presbyterian church, and interment was in the cemetery at Schaller besides the children who had preceded him. Many were in attendance at the last service and the floral offerings were very beautiful. Mrs. Morton J. Hughes had charge of the music.
The bearers were retired farmers and intimate friends of the deceased. They were: J.H. McLaughlin, Thomas Scott, Wm. Hinde, A.L. Hyzer, W.E. Post and Wm. Bice.
Among those in attendance from out-of-town were Mrs. Martha Newell of Beresford, S.D., and Mrs. Emma Kock of Eakley, Oklahoma.
