First husband of Laurinda Cordelia (Moore) Newell. Aaron was my 2nd Great-Grandfather. Aaron Newell and Morris B. Derrick partnered in opening, "The Pioneer Store" in Decorah, with the upstairs being called "Newell's Hall". Most of the ladies in town weren't happy about the upstairs public hall, as some of the husbands went there. Probably like a pool hall, where they played cards, pool and drank beer, it sounds like.
Aaron's father was Aaron Newell and mother was Mary "Polly" Tidd. Siblings were: Betsy Howe (Newell) Dryer, Mary (Newell) Clements and John T. Newell.
