• Notes

  Julia Smart Haskell, was very active in civic clubs, including the Drew Park project. ''Beautification of Lake Charles' waterfront was always of paramount interest to her,'' stated a 1947 newspaper. ''She had many times expressed the hope that a real lakefront beautification program might be carried through to completion in her lifetime.'' Mrs. Haskell was also recognized as the originator of the idea for the Bel Community Clubhouse. She enlisted the help of various local civic clubs to make this a reality. The Bel Community Clubhouse existed until about 1946. (Notes from Charles Alcock, RootsWeb.com, WorldConnect: Southwest Louisiana database.)
