Biography

The publication, Documents of the Senate of the State of New York of 1910, provides an interesting biographical sketch for Edward:3

Edward Heartt Schell

Edward Heartt Schell was born in Troy, New York, in 1848, where he lived with his grandfather, Jonas Heartt, who was at one time mayor of Troy. He moved to New York city when a boy and lived here up to the time of his death on the 25th of January, 1910.

He was elected a trustee of the Northern Dispensary in 1889 and served the dispensary as a member of the board, until a few days before his death. His father, Edward Schell, was also a member of the board of trustees of the dispensary, having been elected in 1861, and serving as such to the time of his death in 1893. In 1876 his father served as second vice-president; in 1877 as first vice-president, and in 1878 as president of the board of trustees.

Edward Heartt Schell was graduated from Yale University in the class of 1870, and later studied law at Columbia, and was admitted to the bar of this State. He was married in 1886 to Cornelia E. Barnes, daughter of the late William Evarts Barnes, who survives him, as does also his sister, Miss M. E. Schell, who resides at 9 Washington Square North in this city. Among the many clubs and societies that he was a member of were the St. Nicholas and Manhattan Clubs, the Bar Association of the City of New York, and the St. Nicholas Society; he was also a director of the Manhattan Life Insurance Company and of the Manhattan Savings Institution.

Mr. Schell was a genial companion, a gentleman in the broadest sense of the word, and a fellow member whose memory we will all cherish in fond recollections, and in his death the trustees have lost an esteemed associate.

We extend to his widow and his sister our heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement.
