AS: Stephen Scott "Scottie" [1913](7)The Newell family has become very close, even with the addition of Debbie and Abby. Ben and Becky recently took in a little boy whose father ran off when he was born and whose mother died recently of tuberculosis. Remarkably, the boy never contracted the disease. The other kids like having another younger kid to play with. All three of the oldest children are dating now--Ben Jr. a girl from church named Becky Robinson; Eliza a young man she also met at church named Eli Peterson, and Stephen a girl in his class at school named Emma Zein.

Arthur got married two years ago to the love of his life, Eleanor. After a few months of marriage they found out they were having a baby, Lily.Peter also found love with a nice girl named Gloria. Gloria and He got married about a year ago and welcomed their first child just 11 months later.Eva and Philip got married three weeks ago.Nora, Violet, Stewie, and David have been doing good in school. A few weeks after they began school we found out that one of Nora's friends had become an orphan. We immediately took her and her four siblings in and soon the adoption will be complete. Lina, her brothers Ricky and Carlos, and her sisters Talia and Fia are all great additions. We are lucky to have them.

It will be a few years before they marry, but Violet and Henry can't wait to see their daughter walk down the aisle.
