sha. The wedding will be celebrated

the closest friends and relatives Of the
bride and groom will be in attendance.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr..
Newell and his bride will sail for
Europe where they will spend their
honeymoon. They will make their
home in New York
The announcement was of especial in
terest in Kenosha on account of the
fact that Mr.. Newell is the only son
of the late Mrs. Frederick c. Newell
and the further fact that he is con
sidered one Of the wealthiest men in
Wisconsin. Miss Marshall and her
mother were dear friends of Mrs.
Newell before her death and the friend
ship Of Mr.. Newell and Miss Marshall
was well known to his mother. Miss
Marshall is nineteen years of age and
Mr.. Newell will be % within a few
days. Their friendship has been one
of years standing and the announce
ment was not a surprise to friends of
the young couple in Kenosha.
Mr.. Newell is widely known in New
York and New Haven. He was gradu-
ated from Yale University as a mem
Der Of the class of 1908 and since that
time he has been taking post graduate
work in the university pursuing work
along the line Of an advanced study
of the Semetic languages. For several
years Mr.. Newell has been considered
the American authority in the field of
numismastics. He has one of the
largest and most valuable collection of
coins in the world and his writings on
the subject of coinage have been wide
ly copied throughout the world. While
very young man he is now the secre-
tary of the American Association of
numismatics and is an honorary mem
Der of the societies in London, Paris
and Cairo. His interest in the collec-
ton of coins has led him to make many
interesting discoveries in his chosen
field and it is stated in New York that
shortly after his marriage he will go
with his bride to Africa to seek some
coins which have thus far eluded the
grasp Of the careful collectors of the
world.
In his enthusiasm as collector Mr..
Newell recently went to Egypt and in
order to seek the Ancient coins of that
country he secured concessions from
the Egyptian government which permit
ted him to open some Of the old tombs
of the Egyptians and these yielded to
his collection treasures known to no
other collections in the world When
he was yet an undergraduate at Yale
he went with his mother to London and
one day visited the museum of the Lon
don Numismatic Society. He was en-
gagged in conversation with some of the
older members of the society and be-
fore he left London he was made the
guest Of honor at a banquet and named
as an honorary member Of the society.
Mr.. Newell is a grandson Of the late
Edward Balm and one of the three
heirs to the Balm estate. His personal
wealth is Conservatory estimated at be-
tween two and three million dollars.
His bride to be is not the daughter of
wealthy parentage.
