William A. Newell
William Augustus Newell (September 5, 1817August 8, 1901), was an American physician and politician, who was a three-term member of the United States House of Representatives, served as a Republican as the 18th Governor of New Jersey, and as the 11th Governor of the Washington Territory from 1880-1884. He is probably best known for, and was most proud of, the Newell Act, which created the United States Life-Saving Service (a Federal agency that grew out of private and local humanitarian efforts to save the lives of shipwrecked mariners and passengers; which ultimately merged with the Revenue Cutter Service to form the United States Coast Guard in 1915).
==Early life==
Newell was born in Franklin, Ohio. Son of James Newell and Elisa Hankinson. His Grandfather, Hugh Newell came from Ireland in 1704.〔http://www.digifind-it.com/data/matawan/journal/1901/1901-08-15.pdf〕 His parents, from old New Jersey families, moved back to New Jersey when he was aged 2. He Married Joanna VanDuzen from News Brunswick. The marriage produced three sons and a daughter, one son died when very young. He graduated from Rutgers College in 1836 (An on-campus apartment complex at Cook College, the agricultural school of what is now Rutgers University, is named for him) and from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1839, and began to practice medicine in the Manahawkin section of Stafford Township, New Jersey where he lived, and was one of local volunteers for shipwrecks across Barnegat Bay.〔Kowalczyk, Frank. ("The Shipwreck of the Powhatan" ), ''The Society Scroll'' newsletter of the Ocean county Historical Society, September 2007. Accessed January 12, 2008.〕 It was from the frustrating experience of watching a ship full of passengers perish because the volunteers could not reach them that he first thought of creating a life saving service. He later moved to Allentown, New Jersey, which was to be his residence for the rest of his life.
