the site where the School Administration Building now is located. In his youth he became a "printer's devil" for a printer on Fourth Avenue, later going to work for the weekly Chronicle when David Brown was its editor. He also worked on New York newspapers as a printer for a number of years.
Mr. Atwell moved to New Jersey about 30 years ago but was a frequent visitor in Mount Vernon. He was employed by the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey until three years ago, and was a member of Masonic and Odd Fellow lodges.
Surviving besides his two brothers is a sister, Mrs. Harry Havens of Springfield, Mass. Mr. Atwell's wife died several years ago.
