Franklin Pierce Newell, 10th and youngest child of Thomas and Hannah (Rauch) Newell, was born on September 1, 1855, in Piatt County, Illinois. Frank's mother died when he was but 7 months old and his father, when he was 2 years old, leaving him a young orphan. His younger years were probably spent in the homes of his married brothers until 1864 at the age of 9, when he traveled across the plains with the family of his older brother, Thomas, to the Territory of Montana. His next five years were spent at the 4 Gold Camps of Butte City, Montana Territory where his brother owned a saloon and store in that boom town. He no doubt spent some time also in the home of another older brother, John H., in the community of Virginia City, and later Seville, Montana Territory. At the age of 15, he traveled back across the plains and settled with his brother's family in Chautauqua County, Kansas.
In 1875, Frank was farming the first piece of land his brother Thomas had purchased in the area of Sedan, Kansas. The deed states the land was pasture and hay land. Thomas was in partnership with Mr. John Lee at the time, and part of the work on this piece of land was the raising of horses, which was a very important business in the area at that time. In mid-1878, Thomas Newell's household increased by one when Fanny B. Green traveled from Missouri to join her sister, Sarah Elizabeth, wife of Thomas, where she lived until February 4, 1879, when she and Franklin were married. The marriage is recorded in Sedan, Kansas, as: "Franklin P. Newell, age 24 of Chautauqua County, Kansas, to Fanny B. Harris, age 21 of the same. Married February 4, 1879.
Fanny's life to this time had been very difficult. After the death of her mother, Fanny was raised by her grandmother, Elizabeth Green. The sisters of Fanny were taken into households of other cousins. Elizabeth Green, the grandmother, died when Fanny was about 14 years old leaving her without any family. Fanny married Mr. Green, a much older and distant cousin of her grandmother's late husband. Her life with this husband appears to have been very difficult, to say the least. Fanny had three children by this marriage, and from notations in some old letters located in 1977, two of the children died and the third child, a girl named Ruby, was given to others to raise as Fanny could not care for her. The letters note the father was very mean to them. (If Mr. Green died or if Fanny divorced him has not been established. However, Fanny joined her older sister "Betty" in Sedan, Kansas, and began a new life.)
Frank and Fanny lived for several years on the land that was owned by Thomas near Sedan when in 1881 Thomas deeded it to them. Thomas and his family had gone to Oklahoma. They continued to live in the Sedan area until about 1885 when, with their three children, Mary J., Jay, and Maude, they moved to Elgin, Kansas, just south of Sedan. It was while living here that the first of their children died. Mary J. died in 1886 and is buried there. They stayed in this area until at least 1897, and three more children were born, Ethel, and the twins Walter and Walthena.
Asa Lee, who owned the livery barn in Elgin, received the government mail contract for mail delivery between Elgin and Pawhuska, Oklahoma. He owned a fine string of horses, and a stage line was established between the two places. On July 28, 1890, a public letter of announcement was posted. "In Elgin, for good and sufficient reasons the citizens met and organized for the purpose of running a four-horse stage line from Elgin to Pawhuska. They have eight heads of good horses and have purchased a Concord coach which will be here in a few days. The trip was made last Monday and will continue to make daily trips there and back on the same day. The stage will leave the Elgin Depot at 7:30 a.m. arrive at Pawhuska at 11:00 a.m., will leave Pawhuska at 2:30 p.m., arriving at Elgin at 6:00 p.m. We promise the traveling public pleasant and rapid transit between the two points named."
This event was very important in the lives of Frank and Fanny. A halfway station was established on Rock Creek, which is halfway between the two points. We don't know the exact date, but after the birth of the twins, Walter and Walthena, Frank and Fanny went to work at the "Half-Way" stop, Fanny probably doing the cooking while Frank cared for the teams for the stage line.
Very little is known about the stop of the old stage line itself. Here are a few things that have been found. The old livery barn in Elgin still stands. One of the early drivers was a brother to Claude and Leo Wall of Sedan. Another was Bill Powell who later became sheriff of Chautauqua County. In a sketch about Chester M. Hayes, who at 19 drove the stage, a little more is found. The stage carried papers and other mail, usually two or three sacks were carried each run. Money was carried on the stage to pay the Indians. A hold-up was never experienced, but on one of the breakdowns in the winter, the only passenger decided to walk while the driver rode one of the horses in for help and repairs. The driver usually rode along, except on those rare occasions when a passenger would be traveling from one town to another.
The stage stopped at half-way twice a day, changing teams coming and going. They arrived at Half-Way house about mid-morning; Frank would change the teams to fresh horses and they continued on. The same routine followed in the late afternoon with the stage arriving back in Elgin about 6:00 in the evening. The location of the old "Half-Way" stage stop is 1 mile straight back from what is now Highway 99 on land owned by Jim Downey.
It was while the family was living at "Half-Way" in 1895 that a double tragedy struck the family. The details are sketchy, but somehow the little girl, Walthena caught her dress on fire and in fleeing from the flames was very badly burned. Fanny, her mother, could not catch the running child and she died from her burns. She was about 4 years old at the time. Several days later, Fanny delivered a second set of twins who both died shortly after birth. All three of these infants are buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Elgin, Kansas.
From an early letter from Ethel Newell, Fanny's daughter is this comment: "Mother was a very large woman, her standing weight was 240 pounds." Fanny was not a tall woman compared to her sister Lucy who was close to 6 feet tall. Given the fact that she was also carrying another set of twins when Walthena's dress caught on fire, it is very easy to see why she could not catch the fleeing 4-year-old.
In the early 1900s, with the building of the railroad, the "Half-Way" days were numbered. Family history relates that Fanny died at Half-Way house and this is probably true. We do know that Fanny B. (Harris) Newell died in 1900 and is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery with her children.
After his wife's death, Frank returned to farming. He probably leased the land near Half-Way. One of the fields the family farmed was called "Old Stage Stand Field." (Frank Newell, grandson of Frank and Fanny, stated, "In the 40s there were some remains of the old buildings and a few cedar trees where the main buildings stood.")
In 1905, Jay, the oldest son, died. He too is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery.
Franklin P. Newell, orphaned at about age 2, in a Montana Territory gold mining Camp at age 9, an early Kansas settler at 15, and probably one of the last of the old stagehands, died on November 13, 1919, and is buried with his wife and children at Oak Grove Cemetery in Elgin, Kansas.
Frank and Fanny were the parents of 10 children of whom only 3 grew to adulthood. However, they leave descendants today who will carry on the name of "Newell."
Book "Newell Family History 1730-1982, descendants of Samuel Newell." It was compiled between 1958 and 1983 by a cousin of ours, Jackie Newell Redding from Big Horn MT 59010. She did extensive research on the Newell family. She has since passed away.
