Life


He was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Edmund S. Newell and Sarah Ellen Jimmerson.
Edmund married Minnie Warren in July 1877 in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. Minnie was also a dwarf, and so was her sister, Lavinia Warren, wife of General Tom Thumb. Minnie died in childbirth in 1878, and was buried in Nemasket Hill Cemetery, Middleborough, Massachusetts.
After her death, Edmund moved to England and married Mary Ann Drake, a woman of normal stature, on April 5, 1888, in St. Giles, London, England. They had two children: Edmund Charles Jeffreys Newell and Daisy Louise Newell.
Edmund died on December 23, 1915, in Marylebone, London, England.
