On Monday July 4, 1927, after a long illness, William Andrew Haskell died at his home at 517 Commonwealth Avenue, Newton Center, Massachusetts, USA. He was the son of the late William A. and Mary (Coburn) Haskell of Boston. A close friend of Mark A. Hanna, vice president of the New York and New England Railroad, he was associated with railroad pioneering throughout the country.
Mr. Haskell was educated in Boston and went as a young man with the Bell Telephone Company to Canada, where he spent about ten years establishing the telephone system in remote districts. Following the death of his father, Mr. Haskell returned to Boston where he resided until the time of his death.
In 1901 he married Miss Josephine S. Sterry, who died in 1916. Two years later he married Miss Margaret L. Barry of Newton Center, who survives him, as do two children, William A. Haskell, Jr., and Miss Margaret Haskell. Mr. Haskell's brother, Coburn Haskell, who died in 1922, invented the Haskell golf ball and was a well known sportsman.
