Marriage Notes for Sarah May Churchill Haskell and Ralph Stanton Crumme
MARRIAGE: New York Times
February 2, 1947Albany, N.Y., Feb. 1 - Miss Sarah Churchill Haskell, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Henry Smith Haskell, was married here today to Ralph Stanton Crumme, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rayomd H. Crumme of Berkeley, Calif.
Corvallis Gazette-Times
October 9, 2011Lawrence "Larry" Lahm passed away on Oct. 6, 2011, at the age of 92. Born on May 9, 1919, in Washington, D.C., Larry was the son of Major Gen. Frank P. Lahm and Gertrude Jenner Lahm, both of Mansfield, Ohio. His father was one of the two first U.S. military airplane pilots trained by Wilbur Wright in 1909.
Growing up in a military family, Larry made frequent changes in residence. His greatest childhood memories were pitching to Babe Ruth and having Charles Lindbergh and Will Rogers come to his home. His high school years were spent in Paris, France. After a year at Yale University, he entered West Point, following in his father's footsteps. By this time he was widely traveled and was fluent in French.
Larry graduated in 1942, shortly after the United States entered World War II. During the next 22 years, his assignments took him all around the U.S. and to Panama, Ecuador, Germany, Vietnam and Peru. He attended the Army Language School in Monterey, Calif., where he became a fluent Spanish speaker.
In 1942, he married Eleanor Margaret Haskell of Albany, N.Y. Their five children were all born in different places, two overseas. A four-year Reserve Officer Training Corps assignment at Oregon State University starting in 1956 sold the family on Corvallis, where they settled after Army life.
Larry retired in 1964 with the grade of Colonel, having had command assignments at company and battalion level and staff jobs from company to theater command level. His only regret was that, despite his frequent requests for transfer, he never commanded troops in combat, despite serving during World War II, the Korean War and the war in Vietnam.
In civilian life, Larry went into academics and taught political science and French at Oregon State. Always looking for new challenges, he shifted into real estate sales, real estate appraisal, property management and real estate development.
He was president of the Rotary Club of Greater Corvallis in 1983 and 1984. He also was a member of the Benton County Foundation, the Republican Party, Toastmasters and several social and athletic clubs in Corvallis.
As a boy in France, he became an Eagle Scout. For many years he remained active in the Boy Scout program, and was a Scoutmaster for troops in Germany, Colorado and Oregon.
In high school, Larry was on the football, basketball and soccer teams. He made the boxing team at Yale, and was on the varsity boxing team at West Point for all four years. He also played soccer at the Point. After college, he played golf and tennis.
Tennis was a great passion in Larry's life. Taught the game by his mother at an early age, he continued to play until a month before his passing. For close to 40 years, Larry, Ken Hedburg, Lou Krakauer and Ed Trione played tennis every Friday afternoon. In more recent years, Larry played every week against Ken Hedburg or Al Haunold. These were his most favorite days.
He also loved to travel and hike, and was a voracious reader.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 37 years, Eleanor Margaret Haskell Lahm; and his sister, Barbara Lahm McMahon.
He is survived by his children, Frank Purdy Lahm II and his wife, Joan, of Rapid City, S.D., Lawrence Lahm Jr. and his wife, Gail, of New Lenox, Ill., Arthur Haskell Lahm of Eugene, Laura Lahm Evenson and her husband, David, of Corvallis, and Sarah Lahm of Corvallis; grandchildren Bridget Lahm, Frank Lahm III, Nicholas Lyman, Lawrence Lahm III, Alyssa Lahm, Eric Evenson, Sarah Evenson and Britta Evenson; and many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his longtime companion, Mary DeCanter; and sister-in-law, Sally Haskell Crumme.
Col. Lahm lived his life following the West Point creed of Duty, Honor and Country. He was an officer and a gentleman.

August 14, 1952GREENWICH,Conn., Aug 13 - Lieut. Gen. William Nafew Haskell, who directed Allied relief to Russia and the Balkans during the famines following the first World War, and commanded the New York National Guard during fourteen of his forty-one years of Military service, died early today in Greenwich Hospital on his seventy-fourth birthday. He entered the hospital several weeks ago from his home at 20 Church Street, Greenwich.
After his retirement from the Army in 1942, General Haskell was an unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor of New York and directed the state's civilian protection agency during a part of the second World War. After the conflict, he was named the first executive director of the CARE relief organization.
General Haskell was a graduate of the United States Military Academy, as were his two sons. Two of his grandsons are now cadets at West Point. He will be buried in the West Point cemetery after a funeral mass, to be offered Saturday at 12:30 P.M. in the Roman Catholic Chapel at the academy.
General Haskell is survived by his widow, Winifred Farrell Haskell; his sons, Col. John H. F. Haskell, U.S.A., retired, and Col. Joseph F. Haskell, U.S.A., retired, both of New York; a daughter, Mrs. Richard M. Egan. of Greenwich and nine grandchildren.
Fed Millions in EuropeDuring most of his four decades of distinguished military service General Haskell reversed the soldier's role, lending his considerable administrative abilities to the saving of millions of lives during the periods of famine and social disruption which followed the two great wars in Europe.
He was, of course, a fighting soldier as well, a veteran of the campaign against the Moro tribesmen in the Philippine Islands during 1906-07, of the Mexican border expedition of 1916, in which he commanded the "Fighting Irish" of the Sixty-ninth Infantry, New York National Gaurd, and of the San Mihiel offensive in 1918 as chief of operations of the Second Army.
It was, however, as an administrator of the relief to the starving populations of Rumania, Armenia, Russia and Greece that General Haskell is best remembered.
Herbert Hoover, when director general of Allied Relief Operations sent General Haskell to Bucharest in April, 1919, to organize the distribution of American relief. The general's energetic measures checked a disastrous famine and earned him the appointment as allied relief administrator in Armenia and Trans-Caucasia, where he fed 900,000 persons daily and ruled almost as a sovereign in the area for a year.
Sent to Russia by HooverThis experience prepared him for the tremendous philanthropic achievements he accomplished between 1921 and 1923 in Russia. Russia was in chaos following the revolution. Famine and disease were killing millions of peasants and driving some to cannibalism. The Soviets appealed to the world for aid, and within a few days of the call, Mr. Hoover had appointed General Haskell, then a colonel, to head an American Relief Mission.
During the next two years the bluff, stocky officer turned Russian suspicion into friendship and admiration by his vigorous organization of transportation and communications in distributing, $62,000,000 of food and supplies. Over 10,000,000 persons were fed daily at kitchens set up from one end of the country to the other, and millions more lives were saved by hospital supplies furnished by the American mission.
At the end of 1922, Colonel Haskell took three months off to organize relief activities of the American Red Cross in Greece, where more than a million refuges were homeless following the Turkish invasion of Anatolia.
In 1923 Colonel Haskell returned to the United States and resumed his army duties as national guard liaison officer stationed at Governors Island. He resigned his post in 1926 to accept an appointment from Gov. Albert E. Smith to the command of the New York National Guard with the rank of major general.
For the next fourteen years he trained the state's civilian soldiers, and in 1940 returned to active duty with the Regular Army as commanding general of the Twenty-seventh Division at Fort McClellan, Ala. After Pearl Harbor he was called to Washington to organize the Army Relief headquarters, and when it was functioning, retired with rank of lieutenant general.
This retirement in April 1942 ended a career which had begun in 1901 with his graduation from West Point. It did not end his service to his nation or to the world, however, for he immediately undertook the job of organizing New York's civil defense as Director of Civilian Protection, later following Gov. Herbert Lehman as his assistant in Foreign Relief and Rehabilitation Division of the State Department.
His final contribution to the relief of war victims came in 1945 when he was named executive director of the newly formed CARE organization, a post he held until 1947 when he finally retired to his Greenwich, Conn. home.
In 1943 General Haskell fought his only losing campaign. The Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of New York, he was defeated by the Republican candidate, Joe R. Hanley.
General Haskell was born in Albany and attended public schools there. He was a descendant of William Haskell who settled in Connecticut in the late seventeenth century.
His decorations include the Distinguished Service Medal, Grand Officer of the Crown, Rumania; Commander of Polonia, Restituta, Poland; Commander of the Cross of the Redeemer, Greece, and the rank of officer in the French Legion of Honor. He also held an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from Georgetown University.

May 2, 2006John (Jack) Clark Mannix Sr. QUEENSBURY - John Clark Mannix of Queensbury died on Sunday, April 30, 2006, after a brief illness. He was born Nov. 27, 1931, the son of Arthur Patrick Mannix and Bertha Caswell Van Zandt.
The following words cannot convey the depth of the man and serve merely as an initial review of our memories. Jack was a lifelong resident of the Lake George area. He was the first Eagle Scout from Troup 20 and one of the first guides at Fort William Henry. He graduated from Lake George Free School in 1949 and from Cornell University in 1953 with a bachelor of arts degree in political science. While at Cornell, Jack lettered for the varsity soccer team, was a member of Quill and Dagger, the senior honor society, and was an active member of Phi Sigma Kappa. Throughout his life he maintained close ties with Cornell, the soccer team and his fraternity brothers.
In June of 1953, he was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the Air Force, serving two years "overseas in Vermont" at Ethan Allen Air Force Base. He was discharged as a 1st Lieutenant in 1956, and he returned to Ithaca to complete law school with two young daughters in tow. He graduated from Cornell Law School in 1958 and was admitted to practice in New York later that year. He became an associate with the Glens Falls firm of Miller & Ringwood, skilled litigating attorneys, who taught Jack his craft. In 1963, he partnered with John Miller to form Miller & Mannix, where he practiced as a respected litiga tor and expert in real property law for more than 40 years. During the early years of his profession, his family continued to grow. Despite or because of having so many mouths to feed, his practice also grew, flourished and matured. His firm continues today as Miller, Mannix, Schachner and Hafner. He was a founder of the Warren County Bar Foundation, past president of the Warren County Bar Association, and delegate to the New York State Bar Association. Jack was also the first Democrat appointed as county attorney for Warren County. Jack believed strongly in contributing his time and talents to the community.
He was elected to the Lake George Central School Board of Education in the 1960s and contributed to the conception and planning of the Lake George Elementary School. Jack's other diverse contributions were made as president of the Robert J. Nolan Foundation, past president of the Lake George Rotary Club, director and counsel to the Fort William Henry Corporation for 35 years, and elder at the Caldwell Presbyterian Church. As past president of the Warren County Historical Society, Jack founded and organized the Tour of the Great & Gracious Historic Homes along Route 9N, sharing his great love and appreciation of local history. His keen interest in area histo ry inspired him to chair a com mittee to erect interpretative signs along the Warren County Bikeway, which today provides passersby with a more deep appreciation for our heritage.
Jack's hobbies included reading, classical music, travel, history, golf, boating on Lake George, gardening, photography and cruising. But standing before a crowd, whether in court, chairing a meeting, or on stage, ignited his passion. Jack Mannix "the World's 7th Greatest Magician" stood tall on many stages. His career as an amateur magician began in Lake George in 1947, and continued thereafter. For more than fifty years, he was a performing member of the Savage Club of Ithaca, New York, a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, and the Society of American Magicians. Jack was also a member of the Magic Circle of London. Jack entertained crowds with illusions, jokes and prestidigitation. He enjoyed performing at local Blue and Gold banquets "for the Cub Scouts and their wives." Roaring Brook Ranch in Lake George had the privilege of sponsoring his weekly shows, where he flabbergasted tourists and locals alike for more than 45 summers. As a Savage Club friend said, "Jack taught me about the fine art of, well art itself, and how it can be rendered even (perhaps especially) in the humble confines of a col lege stage with a three-dollar wand."
He is survived by his wife of 24 years, Joan M. Kubricky; his three daughters, Elizabeth, and her husband, Bill Klein, Margi Mannix and her longtime companion, Michael Potts, and Pam Mannix and her, husband, John Kubricky (son of Joan); two sons, John and his wife, Kathy Kennedy Mannix, and Mark and his wife, Sara Brundage Mannix; and by Joan's other two children, Thomas Kubricky and his wife, Terri VanKeuren Kubricky, and Joanne Kubricky Shea and her husband, Peter Shea. Seventeen grandchildren will miss their grandfather: Megan, Jeffrey and Matthew Klein; Sarah, Kelly, Faith, John and Ben Mannix; Jackson, Emma and Martha Donnelly; Julia, Sean and Kristina Mannix; Derek Kubricky and Rachel and John Shea. He is also survived by his two sisters and their families, Jane, Mark and Kieran Dupper, and Ellen, Dan, Brendan and Maureen Lynch; his cousins, David Malcolm and Sister Mary (Linda Malcolm), and the mother of his children, Marjorie Ann Haskell Mannix.
Jack believed strongly in the principle of personal responsi bility. He viewed school and church as resources only. He placed sole responsibility for raising and educating children squarely on the parents' shoul ders, and he demonstrated that philosophy in his own family. He was a role model for all his children and their friends, as well as his friends, colleagues and peers. Jack lived fully and was well aware of his influence and effect on the lives of many. He will be remembered as a fine husband, father, professional, gentleman, citizen, humorist and entertainer. Jack will live forever in our memories and in the many stories we fondly tell about him.
