GEORGE NEWTON HALLIWELL
George Newton, a son of Glen Clark & Mamie Alice (Barton) Halliwell, was the namesake of his grandfathers--George B. Halliwill and Isaac Newton Barton. George was orphaned in 1929, at which time, he and his three siblings, Dorothy Helen, Robert A., and Mary Alice, were fostered to family members. George was reared by his maternal aunt and uncle, Annie Rebecca Hottinger (Barton) and Elmer M. Brown of Wadsworth. Although his name was changed to Junior Brown, his step-mother Nora never relinquished her parental rights. Therefore, the much anticipated adoption by the Brown couple never occurred. George (a.k.a. Junior Brown) chose to revert to his given name, George Newton Halliwell, in 1937 during his sophomore year at Wadsworth High School.
George attended Wadsworth schools, graduating amid the largest class of its day in 1939. He was a superior athlete, engaged in basketball, baseball and was the captain of the 1939 Wadsworth High School football team. His named graced the pages of the local Wadsworth Banner News through out his senior football season in 1938. The team's record was 8-1 with 1 tie. George (position "End") was selected as one of only twenty-two men on 14 Nov 1938 to join the "All League (football)Team". His high school activities also included Torch in his sophomore year and Hi-Y as a member of his junior and senior class. The "Whisper Prophecy" predicted that "George Halliwell (would become) the coach of everything but cooking at Sterling High School."
