in the county in 1871. In 1872, their daughter Eloise Lella was born in
the town of Sterling, and in 1874, their daughter Neva Sarah was born in
the town of Cameron.) By October of 1876 they had moved to Steuben Co.
NY. If anybody finds a record of this family, I'd appreciate an e-mail

- NEWTON, Joseph and wife Maude Viola COUSE were in Olean, Cattaraugus

1875 in Canada; William E. Newton b 1877 in Canada; Child Newton b abt
1879 Canada or Olean; Myrtle Newton b Aug 1881 in Canada or Olean;
Charles Newton b 13 Apr 1883 in Olean; Josephine Newton b 17 Mar 1887 in
Emporium (Cameron) PA. This family removed from Canada to Olean late
1870's, early 1880's where Joseph Newton worked in a general store.
Family lore says there was an epidemic and a physician gave the wrong
medication to several children, two of them who were Newtons who died
from it. Josephine Newton married Elmer DeVere Baxter and lived in
Emporium where they died in the 1940's. Any and all help appreciated..
