- Henry Charles Haskell, son of William and Abigail (Clark) Haskell, was born at Anson, Maine, Dec. 28, 1835. He prepared for college at Oberlin, Ohio, Academy and Hinsdale, Mass., Academy and was graduated from Williams College in the class of 1859; from Andover Seminary in 1862.
He was ordained at South Deerfield, Mass., Aug. 13, 1862, as missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. to European Turkey. He was in Sofia, Bulgaria, 1862-63; Philippopolis, 1863-70; and at Eski Zagra, 1870-72. Returning to this country, he was in 1874 released from his connection with the Board, and remained here fifteen years making a home for Mrs. Haskell's mother.
He was pastor at Huntington, O., 1873-75; High St. church, Columbus, 1875-77; North Amherst, 1877-81; Harmar (Marietta), 1881-87. He was then reappointed by the American Board, returned to Turkey and was stationed at Samokov, 1887-1902, being principal of the American Collegiate and Theological Institute, 1890-98, part of the time also trustee. From 1902 until 1911 he was in Philippopolis. In that year he visited this country and found it imprudent on account of ill health to return to the field; he therefore resigned in 1912 and since then lived in Oberlin, Ohio.
He received the degree of D.D. from Marietta College in 1888. He published numerous books and pamphlets while on the mission field. He married at South Deerfield, on the day of his ordination, Aug. 13, 1862, Margaret Henderson Bell, daughter of Samuel Franklin and Hannah Minerva (Crowell) Bell of Rhinebeck-on-the-Hudson, N. Y. They had three children, all living. Dr. Edward B. Haskell is a missionary in Salonica, and Mary M. Haskell, in Bulgaria.
He died in Oberlin, O., March 29, 1914, of pyelitis, aged 78 years,
