• Notes

  Find-a-Grave Jeannie was first married to LTC Edward C. Register. He had entered the US Medical Corps in 1910, and in 1913, they had their first and only child, Jane Dubose Register. In 1919, her husband answered a call from President Wilson for volunteers to assist with a typhus epidemic that was sweeping through Poland. Facing certain death he nevertheless accepted the challenge and immediately was sent to the city of Tarnapol where he organized and ran a 1500 bed hospital; inevitably he too contracted typhus and died on January 3, 1920. Age 33, Jeannie found herself a widow, for the first time. Her second husband, William Elhathan Haskell, Jr, also found himself a widower, when his first wife Edith, passed away Christmas Eve, Dec. 24th, 1926. In the 1930 US Census, Jeannie and William had met and married, and were living in Columbus, Georgia, along with her 17 year old daughter. Jeannie became a widow for the second time, when William passed away on April 30, 1926. She lived a long life to the age of 91, when she passed away in 1978.
