He joined religion Methodist 14 in 1902.
BIOGRAPHY:
1. Per N.C. Crewe:
John Newhook (Postmaster), 1852-1934
Born at New Harbour in 1852, a younger son of Charles Newell Newhook (third), died there in 1934. He inherited the old dwelling house and extensive premises on Newhook's Point.
While he was a merchant most of his life, and also succeeded his oldest brother as Postmaster, he told me that he master-built a schooner on Newhook's Point, which was recently confirmed to me by his son-in-law, Mr. Reginald Woodman.
2. Per Monty Newhook in phone interview 21 March 2006 (paraphrased):
John Newell Newhook ran the general store on Newhook Point and was Post Master for some years. They had about 10 acres or so of land there at the time. John had no sons, so Reg Woodman married Vida Newhook to try to get his hands on it. But most all of it is owned by Robert Newhook of St. John's now anyways.

1. Obituary for John Newell NEWHOOK as appeared in the St. John's Evening Telegram. Written by H. F. SHORTIS and dated 12 December 1934.
"John Newhook of New Harbor, Trinity Bay was one of the last of the real old families that made shipbuilding in Trinity Bay famous for one hundred years.
We find mention of the Newhook family in the very earliest records. They were originally of French Huguenot extraction, and the real name Niuehook. They were prominently connected with shipbuilding, and many a sealer has been turned out by Charles and Robert Newhook.
Trinity Bay has been famous for shipbuilding for over 200 years, notably at Trinity, Hants Harbor, New Perlican, but none of them ever came up to New Harbor when extra good foreign-going vessels were required.
They will show you the stockyards at New Harbor where the Newhooks built the barque "Queen" for Punton & Munn, Harbor Grace. The "Queen" was a barque of 240 tons, and beat all competitors on foreign voyages. A few years ago some firm in Brazil compiled a list of all vessels that had reached there in the codfish trade during 30 years - from 1855 to 1885. These were the days that the Harbor Grace vessels went regularly to Rio de Janeiro, and often took cargoes of sugar and cotton thence to Liverpool, England, in payment of their cargoes of fish.
On this old record the "Queen" is mentioned as having made two trips from Harbor Grace to Brazil in 20 days. Another barque of Punton & Munn, the Fleetwing, made three trips to Brazil in 21 days. The Newhooks also built the Tasso, for the firm of Stabb, Rowe & Holmwood, St. John's, the great rival of Kearney's barque Rothesay. Also the famous Henry Thomas in which Capt. Joe Houlahan brought in 11,000 seals one spring. Robert Newhook built the Maggie, a splendid brig for the firm of W. J. S. Donnelly. She was lost with all hands in the Mediterranean in 1868. Capt. William Keefe, brother of Capt. James L, the sealkiller, was master. Charles Newhook built the brig Charles for C. F. Bennett & Co., St. John's. She left St. John's at 4 o'clock one Friday evening in 1834 and on Sunday week Mrs. C. F. Bennett attended morning Divine Service, in Bristol Cathedral. There are scores of other vessels built by the Newhooks that were noted for their great sailing qualities.
Those quoted above were wonderful quick voyages, and our friend John Newhook would never tire of telling about the Queen, or how his brother was passenger on her very first trip to Liverpool with John Munn and his wife, also his son William P. and nephew William M. Allan, afterwards so well known as Doctor Allan.
The death of John Newhook marks the passing away of a landmark. I had the pleasure of his acquaintance for 60 years. He was one of those real old Newfoundland gentleman of the old school with whom it was a pleasure to meet, and with whom rich and poor liked to associate. Mr. Newhook was about 80 years of age. Well may it be said he had not an enemy in this world, but hosts of friends who sincerely regret his passing, and sympathize with those after him in their bereavement."BURIAL:
