• Notes

  Edith Haskell was born and raised in the area around Hinckley, Herkimer County and nearby Oneida County, New York but apparently had a relatively unstable childhood. Her parents divorced and Edith may have lived in the homes of various relatives. Her residences and some of her socialization can be traced from a collection of postcards. She lived 'with her grandmother in Hinckley most consistently for the last couple of years before she married. Her mother died in 1918, but Edith had already married at the tender age of 16 and was raising her own family. Marriage did not stabilize her living arrangements. Her husband was a logger and moved the family to various camps or housing near the mills. Edith worked as a cook in one of the camps, Hardships became severe after Eli was injured in a logging accident in 1922 and eventually had to have his leg amputated. Edith moved to Syracuse in 1925 where she eventually found steady work at the Onondaga Pottery as a decorator. Eli also worked there for a time. The couple was not getting along and eventually split up in 1934. Once divorced and after her children were raised she married George Reynolds. George was a railroad man and Edith was able to travel more because ofthe passes he provided. She also added to the post card collection from her many trips in the Northeast.
