MEMOIR OF NEWTON HORACE WINCHELL 

 BY WARREN UPHAM 



In the seventh generation of descent from Eobert AVinchell, the British 

 immigrant wlio founded this family in America, living in Windsor, Con- 

 necticut, from 1635 until his death, in 1669, Newton Horace Winchell 

 was born in Northeast, Dutcliess Connty, New York, December 17, 1839, 

 and died in Minneapolis, Minnesota, May 2, 1914. His father, Horace 

 Winchell, and his mother, Caroline McAllister Winchell, were highly 

 esteemed school teachers, and l)otli were excellent singers. The father, 

 residing on the ancestral farm, was greatly interested in religious de- 

 nominational reforms, peaceable arbitration of national disputes, and 

 abolition of slavery, and to advance these reforms he published many 

 pamphlets. 



Newton Horace Winchell in boyliood attended the public school and 

 academy at Salisbury, Connecticut, and at the age of sixteen years he 

 began teaching in a district school of his native town. Two years later, 

 in 1858, he entered the University of Michigan, where his eldest l)rother, 

 Alexander, was the professor of geology. The next eight years wore spent 

 in studies at the university and in school teaching, alternately, the schools 

 (aught being in Ann Arbor, Grass Lake, Flint, Kalamazoo, Colon, and 

 Port Huron, Michigan. Previous to his graduation at the university, in 

 1866, he had been two years the superintendent of the public schools in 

 Saint Clair, Michigan; and next, after graduation, he was again superin- 

 tendent of schools at Adrian, in that State, for two years, 1867-1869. He 

 received from his Alma Mater the degree of Master of Arts in 1867. 



Like his brother. Prof. Alexander Winchell, with whose family he had 

 his home during the early part of his university studies, at Ann Arbor, 

 Michigan, Newton Horace devoted himself mainly to the scioiico of 

 geology, with allied interest in all branches of natural history. In Mich- 

 igan he did iiiiich early work for Iddany, and in bis latest years, afler iiis
