     JOHN NEWICK, superintendent of the Eldredge Brewing Com-
pany. Portsmouth, N. H., and who has also performed good service in
public office, was born in Sussex, England, December 9, 1841, a son of
John and Mary (Sinden) Newick. His parents dying when he was but
a boy, he was practically reared by an uncle and an aunt, but at the
early age of ten years was obliged to seek employment. Being of an
ambitious disposition, in 1870, he came to the United States, landing in
the city of New York.  Thence he went to Syracuse, N. Y., where he
found employment in a brewery and learned his present business. In
February, 1882, he located in Portsmouth, of which city he has since
been a resident. In the Eldredge Brewery he has twenty-five employes
under his direction. He understands the brewing business in all its
branches and has shown himself to be a thoroughly capable superin-
tendent. During the years 1907, '08 and '09 Mr. Newick served on the
city council, and in 1910-'11 he was a member of the board of public
works. He has also been in the legislature, having been elected repre-
sentative in 1904. He married Miss Elizabeth Legg, and he and his
wife have been the parents of nine children, of whom six now survive.
A son, Ira A., is now associated with his father in the Eldredge Brew-
ery. Since coming to this city Mr. Newick has made many warm
friends and has a large general acquaintance. His years of public
service testify to the fact of his wide personal popularity. He resides
at No. 138 Bartlett street.
