EDWIN N. HASKELL, of South Paris, a member of the firm of N. D. Bolster & Co., dealers in general merchandise and groceries, who do as large a retail business as any similar firm in Oxford County, was born here on July 25, 1862, son of Ezekiel W. and Harriet (Rideout) Haskell. … When eighteen years of age Edwin Nelson Haskell left school and went to work as a clerk for N. Dayton Bolster, continuing in that position for fourteen years, during which time he gained a practical and thorough knowledge of the business. He was then, in 1893, received into partnership by Mr. Bolster. They have a large trade, employing several clerks and delivery wagons; and in South Paris the name of N. Dayton Bolster & Co. stands for straightforward business transactions. Mr. Haskell and his sisters own the old homestead, upon which they have made numerous general improvements. He is a member of the Congregational church, and is connected with the following fraternal organizations: Mount Mica Lodge, No. 17, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Hamlin Lodge, No. 31, Knights of Pythias - both of South Paris.
