removed to New York State when Selim was but a child.  His earlier years were 
spent upon a farm, and about 1852 he established himself in the general 
mercantile line of dry goods, groceries, grist and saw-mills, etc., with which 
Mr. Newell has since been identified.  He located in Little Falls in 1868, and 
conducts both a wholesale and retail business.  He is ably assisted by his 
sons, who are prominent in teh best social and political circles of the
