- Deer Island newpaper
It was with great sorrow that the many friends of Willard G. Haskell learned of his death, which occurred at his home in Newtonville, Mass., Sat. Nov. 20th, after a long period of failing health, altho he has been able to follow his usual avocation up to within a few weeks of his death. Mr. Haskell was the second son of Capt. Jasper W. & Flaville Haskell. He was born while the family lived in New Haven, Conn., about 46 years ago, and came to Deer Isle with his parents when a boy. He married Miss Lizzie Powers of South Deer Isle. To this union were born six children, Kathleen, Gladys, George, Virginia, Willard and Norman. The family made their home here until about a year ago, when they moved to Newtonville, believing that the city furnished better opportunities for the ohildren.
Besides his family, who have lost a kind and most indulgent husband and father, Mr. Haskell leaves a mother, one sister, Miss Villa M. Haskell, and two brothers, Capt. C. A. Haskell, of the schooner Hester, now on a voyage to Europe, and Capt. Harris W. Haskell, who has just arrived in Savannah, Ga., from Cuba. He was a valued member of Marine Lodge, F. & A.M., and was highly respected by all who knew him. After a brief service at the home in Newtonville, the remains, accompanied by the mother, the wife, and Miss Kathleen, arrived here Thursday night and the funeral is taking place this afternoon, with interment at Mt. Adams.
