Edward Frost Haskell, who died in Oneida, November 2, 1892, in the thirty ninth year of his age, was an honored member of the Madison County bar. He was born at Orange, N.J., October 21, 1853, the son of Llewellyn and Marianna (Frost) Haskell. His father was a New York merchant of large interests, and the owner and founder of Llewellyn Park in Orange. His mother was a native of Charleston, N.C., and came from the southern family of Frost. Mr. Haskell was prepared at Fort Edward Collegiate Institute and entered the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. He began the study of law in the office of Hon. John E. Smith of Morrisville and was admitted to the bar in 1877. Following his admission he formed a partnership with Judge Smith which continued for five years, or until Mr. Haskell's election to the State Legislature in 1883. During their association Mr. Haskell acted as assistant district attorney, Mr. Smith being the prosecuting officer. Mr. Haskell served two consecutive terms in the Assembly, and was chairman of the Committee of Railroads. After his retirement from the Legislature he settled in Oneida where he enjoyed a large and lucrative practice until his untimely death. Mr. Haskell married in 1873, Mary E. Howe. Three children were born to them: Edna Rutledge, Florence, and Edward Llewellyn.
