James G. Haskell, the present efficient postmaster of Penfield, in which office he is faithfully discharging the duties devolving upon him, is also operating a stage and express line from Penfield to Rochester. Mr. Haskell was born in Geneva, New York, in 1851, a son of Rev. Abel and Esther (Green) Haskell, the former minister of the Baptist church at Penfield, to which place he removed in 1860, while his death here occurred six years later. The mother's birth occurred in Yates county, this state.
James G. Haskell accompanied his parents on their various removals and in his youth learned the cabinetmaker's trade, following that pursuit for a time. In 1880 he engaged in the stage and express business, running a line from Penfield to Rochester, and he has since been engaged in that business. He likewise conducts a branch laundry agency. In 1897 he was appointed to the position of Postmaster at Penfield and has since acted in that capacity, being assisted in the office by his wife, who bore the maiden name of Miss Mary Hipp, who was born in Michigan, their marriage being celebrated in Penfield in February, 1896. Since Mr. Haskell took charge of the office two rural routes have been established, mail being delivered to one hundred and forty-five families in the rural districts, a stage being sent to Despatch twice each day to receive the mail at that point. He and his wife occupy a comfortable home in this village, this being surrounded by three acres of ground, devoted to raising small fruits.
Mr. Haskell gives his political support to the republican party and he is a member of the Masonic order and the Grange, while his religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Baptist church. Both he and his wife are prominent in business circles, for their genial and kindly dispositions, and their unfailing courtesy commend them to the confidence and good will of the general public.
