• Notes

  Newsletter of the Haskell Family Society Volume 7, No. 4, December 1998 Captain Isaac W. Haskell, born 18 April 1826 in Garland, Maine, was son of Bildad Arnold and Rebecca (Mayhew) Haskell. He was also brother of Jacob McGaw Haskell. Isaac was a blacksmith when mustered at Portland into the Union Army as captain, Co. D, 20th Maine Infantry Regiment, 29 August 1862. On 20 November 1862 he resigned his commission for serious health problems. On recovering he joined Co. I, 2nd Maine Cavalry Regiment at Augusta on 22 December 1863, again as captain. He was shipped from Portland, Maine, to New Orleans on the transport Lancaster but fell ill at Barrancas, Florida. The surgeon granted him 60 days' sick leave, which had to be delayed as Captain Haskell was "absent on a raid." On 17 May 1865 Captain Haskell died, aged 39, of chronic diarrhoea contracted during military service. He is buried in Garland's Knight Cemetery.
