At the age of 23 on December 27, 1868, she was sent by the Freedman's Aid Commission to Okolona, Mississippi to teach the recent freed men. Mrs. Margaret Baldwin, of Montrose, who was later married to the Hon. R. B. Stone of this city was already teaching there. They were together in the south for three years. The school in Okolona was supported by the Philips Brooks Church of Philadelphia. Mrs. Newell later taught school in West Pittston for four years.
Coming to Bradford in 1876 for a visit with Mrs. R. B. Stone she met Augustus W. Newell. They were married in March 1877 at Oneonta, New York. Mrs. Newell has resided in this city since.

(2.Elizabeth2, 1.Fanny1) b. 10 Oct 1851, Montrose Borough, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania; d. 6 Jan 1890, Of consumption (tuberculosis).
Notes:
George Chapman Lewis was already a minister before he got married. He was living with his Great-aunt Ruhamah in Franklin, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Her brother Oliver Lewis (George's Great-uncle) was a famous minister known as "The Weeping Prophet" who lived in Exeter Township, Luzerne County. Oliver's daughter Almeda married Rev. Abraham S. Chandler in 1836. Rev. Chandler's mother was Mary Luce, the great aunt of George's future mother-in-law, Margaret Almeda Luce.
George Chapman Lewis and Kate Alta Flock were both living in Luzerne County and are likely to have first met through their Luce (Luse) relatives.
