• Notes

  Biographical Review : This Volume Contains Biographical Sketches of Leading Citizens of Oxford and Franklin Counties, Maine 1897 Page 185 ... Ezekiel W. Haskell, the second son, was born in New Gloucester on July 3, 1831. At twenty-seven years of age, in 1858, he came to South Paris and went to work for the Grand Trunk Railroad. A few years later he purchased a wood-sawing machine, with which he prepared fuel for use on the railroad, employing several men; and he carried on this business very successfully until by the introduction of coal engines the demand for the wood was cut off. He next engaged in teaming and trucking for the Paris flouring-mill, owning several draught-horses. He was carrying on this business at the time of his death, July 5, 1871. His wife, Mrs. Harriet Rideout Haskell, survived him fourteen years, dying in 1885. Both were earnest, devoted Christians and communicants of the Congregational church. Their home was at 7 Main Street, the residence previously owned by Abijah Hall. A son and two daughters were the fruit of their union, namely: Emma Whitman, born April 18, i860; Edwin Nelson, born July 25, 1862; and Hattie Lufkin, born December 23, 1864.
