William Newell, an old soldier
who had lived in Nevada for forty
or more years, died at the Soldiers
home at Sawtelle, Cal, last week
at the age of 90 years. Up to a
month ago Newell had been con-
fined in the county hospital at To-
nopah, when the Woman's Relief
Corps of that town arranged to
have him sent to the home. While
sickness and age had a good deal
do with his death, it is believed
it was partially accelerated by
grief Through separation from his
old Nevada friends. In the early
days Newell lived in Austin, engag-
