BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

John “Jack” W. Newton, 1931-2017, was born in Hamburg, New York. Jack graduated in 1953 from Dartmouth College with a BA in Economics and an MBA from Dartmouth’s Amos Tuck School of Business in 1954. He served in the US Army from 1955-1957. Jack and his wife Anne were residents of South Natick, MA.

Jack first became acquainted with the White Mountains region as a college student. After entering the working world as a CPA in Boston, and later as a corporate financial officer, he stayed in New England, often visiting northern New Hampshire. In 1967, he and Anne acquired an old farmhouse property in the hamlet of Lost Nation, N.H., east of Lancaster, a town in which his wife’s maternal ancestors were early settlers in 1816. It was during this time they started seriously collecting White Mountain material.

Jack was a lifetime member of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC); he served as the AMC Treasurer and was on the governing Council during the 1970s. In 1976 he was Chairman of the AMC’s 100th Year Centennial Celebration. He also served as a Trustee and Treasurer of the Mount Washington Observatory (MWOBS) for more than 15 years and was a Life Trustee of that organization.

In 2012, Jack and Anne donated their 6,000-volume collection of White Mountains-related books, maps, ephemera, and historical materials to the Museum of the White Mountains.
