Newman, Angelina F. Thurston: author and publicist. Born in Montpelier, Vermont, United States of America, 1837. At 14 went with her parents to Madison, Wisconsin. Educated at Lawrence University, Appleton, Wisconsin. Married Frank Kilgore, of Madison, who lived but a few months. In 1859, married David Newman, of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. For 16 years, Mrs. Newman was on the lecture platform--8 years, consecutively, Western Secretary of the Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She has been identified with many national and international philanthropies. Charter member of National Council of Women and Daughters of American Revolution. She was for 27 years Superintendent of Prison Work in National Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). When Mormonism startled Americans by announcing for itself a "Capital" and a "Country," Mrs. Newman was elected to represent the American forces in behalf of anti-Mormon legislation. She was given hearings before the Senate Committees. Printed by Act of Congress, these speeches were circulated by the thousands in America and Europe, and Congress, in answer to her appeal, appropriated $80,000 for a home, under Federal support, for Mormom women who abandoned polygamy. During the Philippine War, Mrs. Newman received a commission as hospital inspector for the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands. In 1888 Mrs. Newman was the first woman elected delegate to the Quadrennial General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. As an author she wrote: "Heathen At Home," in 1888. After a year's tour with her daughter, through Europe, Egypt, and Palestine, during the presidential campaign of William McKinley, having everywhere worn the McKinley Button of the campaign, she wrote of the reception of the button in foreign lands, under the title "McKinley Carnations Of Memory"; followed by "Sacrifice Of IPhigenia"; "An Italian Winter"; "Lilith, Adam's First Wife," from legends gathered in Egypt and Palestine; and "The Tragedy Of Christianity." An arraignment of the Mormon faith, and propagandism is her latest work. Address: 1724 _____ St., Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.A.
