• Notes

  Preston Hampton Haskell was born in 1870 in Abbeville County, South Carolina. Named Thomas Preston Hampton Haskell at birth, he later dropped the name Thomas. He was educated in South Carolina, in Germany, and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for his career as a mining engineer. In addition to his keen interest in his career, he was a horseman, a hunter, a gardener, a deep sea fisherman, and loved music. A devout churchman, he was responsible for the Parish Hall at St. Peter's Church in Columbia, Tennessee. According to an oral account given by his daughter Susan Haskell Harrel My father came to Birmingham as a mining engineer, successfully courted and married the beautiful and popular Susie Howze. They went immediately to Honduras where his father, Col. Haskell, had an interest in a gold mine. They stayed a year, found the mine unproductive, and came home. He worked in Birmingham for a time, and then moved to southwest Virginia; then to Mineral, Virginia; from there to Columbia, Tennessee where he died in 1931.
