William Jewell

William Jewell

William Jewell (1789-1852) was a politician, physician, and educator from Columbia, Missouri and namesake of William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri.

Jewell, who was also once mayor of Columbia, initially wanted the Baptist school to be in Boonville, Missouri. However after Alexander William Doniphan argued that the offer of a larger parcel of undeveloped land in Liberty, Missouri was worth more than the developed land in Boonville, the Liberty site was chosen and Jewell donated $10,000 to start school in 1849. He is buried in Columbia's Jewell Cemetery.
