Early life edit

Warren was born in Middleborough, Massachusetts, the daughter of Huldah Pierce (Warren) and James Sullivan Bump.[5] She was from a respected family whose roots went back to the beginning of the colony. Minnie and her sister had both been born at a normal birth weight but then stopped growing early in their lives. Their siblings were of a normal stature.[6]

Career edit

In addition to the public interest in her tiny stature, Minnie performed as a singer. She married Edmund Newell, who was also a dwarf and paid performer for P. T. Barnum.

Death edit

Warren died from complications in childbirth on July 23, 1878. The baby, a girl who weighed 6 pounds, died a few hours later.[7]

She is buried in Nemasket Hill Cemetery, Middleborough, Massachusetts.[1]
