Mrs. Hascall, or "Aunt Addie" as she was known to all her friends, moved to Western Nebraska in 1895. She was one of those sturdy pioneer women who incomplainingly braved the hardships and cheerfully accepted the sacrifice that go with life in a new country and was always willing to lend a helping hand in time of need.
Surviving are a son, Glenn of Redington, and a daughter, Mrs. John Gaumer of Sequim, Wash., also seven grandchildren and one great grandchild. Her husband died in 1927. Mrs. Hascall had made her home with her son at Redington for some time.
