• Notes

  The family removed from Galesburg Illinois in a caravan of 25 wagons. Their daughter Mildred was born en route. They arrived in Banner county in 1888 and settled in the Redington area. The built a sod house. Daughter Millie recalls a story of airing her feather bed outdoors and finding a rattler as a bed partner later. Laura tells a story of Buffalo Bill stopping by and requested permission to water his horse. She recalls that he dipped his hat in the trough, let his horse drink from the hat, then proceeded to drink from the same hat. ______ Bridgeport News-Blade March 26, 1919 Another pioneer of the Redington country has gone on to a new and untried world, in the person of William S. Hascall, who settled about eight miles southeast of Redington over thirty years ago and lived there up to the time of his death. Mr. Hascall had many friends and few enemies, for he was conservative in speech and action. He went through all the hardships incidental to pioneering, and accumulated a competence through his tenacity of purpose in staying with the country until property became valuable. He was born near Cameron, Ill., on February 14, 1848, and died suddenly from heart trouble at his home near Redington on March 23, 1919, being a little over seventy one years of age. He was married at Galesburg, Ill., on March 14, 1871, and leaves a wife, four sons and one daughter to mourn his loss. Mr. Hascall lived for a time at Creston, Ia., and the Creston Plain Dealer speaks very kindly of him and the friendships he made at that place. William Safford Hascall was a farmer.
