• Notes

  In 1843 he went to Penobscot Co., Me., and engaged in lumbering, which he continued until 1857. His first purchase of timber land was some seven thousand acres in that county and his operations were somewhat extensive. In 1847 he married Hannah, daughter of Nathaniel Shorey, of Burlington, Me.. Her grandfather lived to the advanced age of ninety-five and died in Lowell, Me. Her father, during the later part of his life, moved to Wisconsin, here he died in 1875. Mrs. Haskell was born Dec. 2, 1827. In 1857, Mr. Haskell moved to Hornellsville and one year and a half later moved on to the place where he now resides, then a woodland tract, but now by his industry and eneterprise a pleasant farm residence. His first purchase was some three hundred and sixty-five acres, most of which he has cleared of its original forest erected industrious buildings theron. Mr. Haskell’s life has been a life of active business, rewarded for merited success. For several years since he came to Hornellsville he has also been engaged in the lumber interest in Michigan, and a part of the time his family has resided there.
