• Notes

  Jonathan Amory Haskell was a Vice President of General Motors Corporation and also of E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co. _____ New York Times September 10, 1923 J. Amory Haskell of 130 East Sixty first street, Vice President of the General Motors Corporation and of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., died yesterday at his country home, Oak Hill Farm, Red Bank, N.J. He was 62 years old. His career was devoted to manufacturing, his most important interests being with the making of gunpowder and automobiles. He was with the firm of A. & L. Neilson of this city from 1879 to 1883 and then spent several years with the Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal and Iron Company, advancing to general manager and treasurer. In 1892 he was made president of the Repauno Chemical Company of Wilmington, Del., holding the post for thirty years, during nearly this entire period serving as President of the Laflin & Rand Powder Company. One of the leading figures in General Motors, he for a time was President of two of its subsidiaries, the General Motors Export Co., and the General Motors Acceptance Corporation, but he resigned the former office in order to devote himself to the affairs of the parent company. Mr. Haskell is survived by his wife, who was Margaret Moore Riker, two daughters, Mrs. Howland B. Jones and Mrs. Henry M. Post, and one son, Amory Lawrence Haskell. The wedding of the son to Miss Annette Tilford, third daughter of Mrs. Henry M. Tilford has been announced for the nineteenth of the month, but it is thought that a change in plans may be made as a result of Mr. Haskell's death.
