Herman was seriously injured as a youth in an accident at a saw mill. His leg was broken in five places. This caused him to walk with a severe limp. In his early twenties he broke the leg again in a motorcycle accident. He is listed in the Seattle city directory, variously as a machinist, driver, shipfitter, ship worker, and saw maker, residing in the home of his mother from 1910 to 1916.
He married first Lottie May Dixon on 28 November 1915, in Centralia, Lewis WA.. From a newspaper clipping, origins unknown, Herman and Lottie were married on a Sunday morning at 11:00, by Rev. H.W. Thompson, in his home. The couple took the afternoon train to Seattle where they will resid
Lottie May Dixon, only child of Jay Milton Dixon and May Turner was born 14 June 1897, in Chicago, Cook, Illinois. He and Lottie are shown living with his mother Delilah in 1918,19,20 and 1923. From 1925 to early 1927, they lived at 4349 Holden St. in the Rainier Valley district of Seattle. In the spring of 1927, they were back at 18th at the same address as Delilah and Herbert. Shortly after the death of their daughter in October 1927, they moved to the Holly Park area of Seattle at 7325 43rd S., where they lived until their divorce in 1935.
Lottie and Herman were granted a divorce on 12 March 1935, with the final decree on 25 January 1937. Herman was awarded custody of his son Lawrence. Lottie was awarded the house at 7325 43rd S., where she ran a boarding house for elderly men and managed to support herself and her mother May. She lived with Howard Metcalfe and took his name. Per her daughter-in-law Florence Hascall Lottie indicated that she was not married to Howard. She died 13 September 1958, in Seattle and was interred at Washelli cemetery in Seattle. Lottie died intestate. Her son Lawrence Hascall was awarded her estate properties valued at $16,625.
Herman married second Josephine C. Smith, 28 March 1943 in Seattle. This was the second marriage for Josie. She married first Clarence Lynn.

There was no issue from the marriage of Herman and Josie. Herman did however raise and maintain a close relationship with his stepchildren Harry Lynn and Clarence (Junior) Lynn.
After the death of Josie, Herman moved to Camano Island at Utsalady Bay where he lived with his stepson Harry Lynn. As a youth this author fondly recalls the Sunday outings to visit Grandpa. There was always something to keep you busy on the beach and there was never a shortage of hospitality. For years Herman and Harry worked on building a commercial fishing boat. The fun must have been building the boat since I believe it was only taken out once then beached. Herman retired as a saw filer, machinist in 1957 when he moved in with his son Lawrence. He died 21 June 1958, and was interred 25 June 1958, at Centralia, Lewis, Washington.Above provided by his grandson Richard Hascall

53966. Lawrence Milton Hascall
Lawrence Milton Hascall, son of Herman Davis Hascall and Lottie May Dixon, was born 1 October 1916, in Seattle. Larry attended St. Edward, Immaculate, and Cathedral, Catholic grade schools. He attended Odea High school through his sophomore year. After that the Depression necessitated that he transfer to public schools. He attended Franklin High school and the Franklin class annual of 1935 cited that Larry was a transfer from West Seattle and a baseball player. Larry explained that he had his cousins letterman sweater from West Seattle and he established the line that he was an athlete from West Seattle High. Two weeks prior to graduation he dropped out to go to work, common sense prevailed and he returned to school at Garfield High and graduated in February 1936. As many youths did during this period, Larry joined the National Guard during the last two years of high school to earn some money.After High School Larry went to work on the railroad as a Gandy dancer. He worked for 25 cents an hour and lived aboard the train. The railroad charged $1.25 per day for keep while they were working. On payday they would usually be miles away from any town. He soon tired of this weary life and quit the railroad. He found himself in remote Montana with only a paycheck drawn on a bank in Spokane Washington.. He jumped a freight train to Spokane. On the trip he stopped at a town in Montana, where he was arrested as a vagrant, and forced to perform two days of labor before being sent on his way. Later in 1936 he arrived in Spokane, Wa., where he worked at Sacred Heart Hospital as an orderly.
He married Josephine Frances Vaught 17 November 1936 in Coeur d' Alene, Kootenai, Idaho. They moved to Grand Coulee, Grant, Washington, where he worked on building of the Grand Coulee dam as a carpenters helper. Lawrence and Frances were separated in 1938 and divorced 16 November 1942. Josephine Francis married second Henry E. Roush, she died 24 July 1996 in Spokane Washington.
In 1940 Larry suffered a severe back injury while working as a hod carrier at the Sand Point Naval Station. During his rehabilitation he worked at the Retsil Veterans Hospital in Bremerton, Washington.
During World War II Larry worked nights at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyards in Bremerton, Washington. During the days he drove bus for Seattle Transit. In August 1942, the Navy was recruiting workers from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard to work in the shipyards in Panama. The sense of adventure as well as the lure of $1.28 per hour and all the overtime he could work played in his decision to go. He purchased a shiny trunk with brass fittings to use in his journey. The trip started with a train trip to Brownsville Texas. From Brownsville, he caught a Pan American Airways flight to Panama, via Mexico City and Guatemala City. The arrival and departure at Mexico City was uneventful. After leaving Mexico City, they found themselves in a hurricane. The weather forced the plane to land at an airstrip located at the top of a mountain near the village of Ectapa, Mexico. The landing gear was damaged, forcing them to wait for replacement parts for two days. The citizens of the village had not met many North Americans, so they killed several chickens and prepared a meal for the twenty shipfitters and plane crew. Upon arriving in Guatemala City, they were considered celebrities for having survived the hurricane and landing. The citizens of Guatemala City hosted a banquet at the Palace Hotel in their honor. Each guest had a personal waiter who stood behind his chair to serve him.
They did make it to Panama where the work for shipfitters was available as promised. Larry only stayed four months and returned in December 1942 because the climate was too harsh to stay longer. He arrived back in Seattle on New Years Eve and celebrated his return that night with a party at the Olympic Hotel. It must have been some party because he still smiles when he talks about it. The trunk, replete with travel stickers, has been saved as an heirloom by his son Richard (author of this work) .
In September 1945, Lawrence joined the Army. Due to back trouble he was forced to leave the service after four months. He then became a milkman for Hi Grade Dairy. In 1962, he ventured out on his own by purchasing a milk route serving the Bothell and Kenmore areas. The independence of owning his own business was important to Larry.
Financial security was always a concern to Larry. Accordingly, he worked at a second job most of his life. Starting in the early 50's he worked as an usher at the local minor league baseball park. From there he moved on to working at the Seattle Center where he moved into ticket taking and eventually became head usher. He also held key positions at the King County Kingdome. It is said that everyone has a moment in the sun. In 1978, a group of Seattle Center employees filed a class action suit against the city of Seattle to collect vacation and retirement pay due to them. The city proposed that these employees were in fact part-time workers and as such were not entitled to benefits. Larry was called on to testify in 1987, and the local newspaper did a full page spread on the issue with a picture of Larry and coverage of his work records. Larry had in fact worked over 1800 hours the previous year, hardly part-time. The city conceded the case and the renumeration helped fund Larry's retirement.
Lawrence married second Florence Augustine Duncan. They started their married life at 156 15th Ave. They then lived for a brief time in a small house they purchased at 5503 Renton Avenue in the Rainier District of Seattle. They then moved a half mile to 3701 Dawson St..
While visiting in Yakima in 1952, one of Florence's cousins indicated that it was impossible to find work in the area. Larry bet that he could find a job. The next day he obtained a position with the local dairy as a milkman, so the family moved to Yakima. After a year in Yakima they returned to their home on Dawson Street in Seattle. In May, 1954 they moved to 2402 N. 43rd St., in the Wallingford district of Seattle. This house is one of the oldest in the area and was built in 1914. They sold the house in 1989 for what, at the time, was the highest priced home sold in the area. The family felt a sense of loss after living in the same place for 35 years. The funds, however, made it possible for Lawrence to retire.
Florence was raised in the Yakima area and graduated from the Catholic High School there. During her youth she worked in the cannaries in Yakima. At the time of the birth of her son Richard, she worked, in Seattle as a grocery checker and left Richard with her mother in Yakima. On weekends she would catch a bus to Yakima to visit him. This was still wartime, and she recalls standing for most of the trip. She was employed by the Safeway grocery chain and was the second female checker hired in Seattle.In addition to taking care of the household, she kept the books for the Home Milk Delivery Business they owned and Larry operated. For several years she took in foster children for Catholic Community Services.
The following was read at her funeral
Florence was born as Florence Augustine Duncan 79 years ago on December 12, 1916 in Yakima, the only child of George Duncan and Marie Moreau. The best way to describe Florence is as a "friend". The friends of her youth, her neighbors, became friends for life. She kept in touch and had dear and special feelings for all her friends.
She was the oldest cousin of both the Duncan and Moreau clans. In this role she liked to function as a family matriarch. She seemed to tie the family together. She kept in touch with all her cousins and loved to visit. Her door was always open.
During World War II she moved to Seattle where she worked as a grocery clerk in the Yesler District. On February 11, 1943 she married Larry Hascall. Larry and Florence had four children. "Mom" devoted all her energies to raising this family. In addition to running the household she kept the books for Dad's business. She served her community as a foster parent to many children.
From Dick:
She was always there for me. She always had a way to cheer me up. I loved our times together talking about our family. I most remember the way her eyes lit up whenever she talked about her father.From Virginia:
She taught me how to love and care for others unconditionally. To be firm and consistent and yet tender and loving. I will always remember our garage sale and shopping adventures in which we took a great deal of joy in doing together.From Phyllis:
She was my "MA". She was my best friend. I will miss sharing my thoughts and dreams with MA. She was always there to laugh at my corny jokes and silly stories. I will miss our special times together.From Delores:
She gave me joy and taught me wonderful lessons on being a mother and a friend. She always took the time to listen to me about life's little traumas and give me great advice on how to cope.How she spent her days
She enjoyed shopping for a bargain, thinking little of the time or the gas used. We often wondered if she just liked to see DAD drive. She loved to frequent the garage sales and always was on the lookout for the super bargain. She loved to play KENO and BINGO. She was sure she had the "system". She enjoyed a good game of cards. Many an hour was spent in this pastime with family and friends. She enjoyed having her family nearby. She was active in their lives and will definitely leave a void.We all have our memories and are the richer for them.
