  Jewell, Charles H., was born on January 1, 1847, in Binghamton, N.Y. 
He was reared on a farm, and his school advantages were those of the 
common school, one year at an academy, and two years under a private 
tutor.
  He was converted at twenty-one years of age, at Whitney's Point. His 
call to preach came almost immediately after conversion. On the 
following Sunday he united with the Church on probation, and on the 
same day received an exhorter's license. In the following August he 
received local preacher's license. In 1872 he joined the Conference, 
served Union Center one year, in 1873 went to Chenango Bridge, and in 
1874 was sent to Randolph. Here his health failed, and he dropped out 
of the work before he was admitted in full membership in the 
Conference. In 1876 he again joined the Conference.
  Since retiring from active work he has resided at Bumpville, Bradford 
County, Pa.
  His pastoral record is as follows: 1876-77, Lanesboro; 1878-79, Great 
Bend; 1880-81, Harpursville; 1882-83, sy.; 1884-86, Litchfield; 1887, 
sy.; 1888, North Barton; 1889-1900, sy.; 1901-03, sd.
