Emma Emerson Newman (1838-1921) was a Congregational minister as well as a homeopathic practitioner and a "mental healer." She grew up in Massachusetts, where she attended the Abbot Academy in Andover, Mass. and also was allowed to audit lectures at Andover Theological Seminary where her grandfather was a founding trustee. She was a minister at the Congregational Church in Algonquin, Ill. and also served in churches in Missouri and Kansas where she was licensed to preach by association. She practiced in the middle-western states before moving, about 1896, to California, where she lived in Garvanza and Sierra Madre.
