He was born on June 30, 1931 in Chillicothe, Illinois the son of John H. and Blanche A. (Beaumont) Newell. He attended Senachwine Country School in rural Chillicothe, Illinois. He married Mary C. Stoecker on June 18, 1955 in Chillicothe, Illinois.

Paul began his farming career with his wife, Mary, on a grain and livestock farm south of Williamsfield where he raised his family and continued to farm with a hard work ethic for over 50 years. He loved caring for his livestock and took great pride in his precisely planted straight rows long before GPS was invented.
