In 1889 he established the Haskell Post graduate school of Prosthetic Dentistry, In 1903 it was consolidated with the Chicago Post Graduate School. _____ unknown newspaper DR. LOOMIS POMEROY HASKELL, the oldest practicing dentist in this country and probably in the world, died October 7, in the Presbyterian hospital, Chicago,following two operations for kidney trouble. He was 91 years old. Since 1858 Dr. Haskell had been practicing dentistry in Chicago. He went to that city from Bangor, Me., where be opened an office seventy-one years ago. An author of numerous books, Dr.Haskell was known internationally and founded the Haskell Post Graduate School of Prosthetic Dentistry, which has graduated pupils from very nearly every country on the globe. Among his patients were many famous personages of both this country and Europe.*: One of his closest friends and patients was Gen. Phil. Sheridan. A year ago Dr. Haskell retired after an international lecture tour, in the course of which he appeared before clinics in Berlin, Vienna, and Paris. During his long life he lectured before many American universities. Dr. Haskell was the recipient of many degrees and awards for his proficiency in dental surgery. The award he most valued was a gold loving cup presented to him on the golden anniversary of his entrance to the profession by the dentists of Paris. In 1915 he was elected the honorary president of the American Dental Congress at the annual convention in San Francisco. Dr. Haskell is survived by his only daughter, Mrs. William T. Barr of LaGrange, with whom he had lived for many years. Dr. Haskell was a frequent and always an interesting and instructive contributor to The Dental Summary, his last article, probably the last ever written by him, appearing in the August number, bearing the caption "Articulation of Teeth." He maintained the activity of mind and body to the last, always speaking of how well and strong he felt, despite his more than ninety years. During the last year or so, he complained rather strongly of failing sight,which, in view of his splendid digestion and other unfailing powers, he could not understand or accept patiently. Dr. Haskell was very proud of the fact that he had been a printer in his early years, declaring that he was the oldest printer as well as the oldest dentist in the world.
