From The Greenfield Vidette, September 3, 1936 --
Mrs. M.A. Newell -- Mary Ann Newell ... died at her home northeast of Greenfield, aged 84 years, four months and two days.
She was the sixth of eleven children, coming to Missouri as a young girl of 17 years of age. She was united in marriage to William Newell on May 28, 1874. To this union were born one son Francis S Newell, and two daughters Mrs. Josie Landreth of Sanger, CA, and Mrs. Byrd White of Greenfield, MO.
She leaves seven grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and one sister Susan Painter.
With the exception of a few years, she spent all her life in Dade County. Her husband died August 15, 1884, leaving her with three small children to rear alone. Her life was an example of the Golden Rule. No one ever called upon her for help and was ever turned away. She was always willing to aid the needy, distressed and unfortunate. She cooperated in every movement for the betterment of the community and was the oldest member on record of the Sand Mountain W.P.F.C.
Her health had been poor and her body frail for 35 years, yet she managed to care for herself and her business affairs until just two days before her death. She was conscious until the last and made all her funeral arrangements. She assured her loved ones that all was well with her soul, and death would be a relief from her suffering.
Funeral services were conducted at her home Monday at 2:30. Interment was at Pemberton Cemetery beside her husband who passed away 52 years ago.
