_____CHARLES H. HASKELL, a well-to- do resident of Steuben, Washington County, son of Charles H. and Margaret (Leighton) Haskell was born here, July 23, 1856. The grandfather, Zebulon Haskell, a native of Massachusetts and for some years a resident of Rochester, in that State, was a Sergeant in the Continental army during the Revolutionary War. In 1809 he settled in Steuben, locating about three miles from the Centre. A few years later he moved to the village, where he operated a carding-mill. He was one of the most active business men among the early settlers, and his energy materially assisted the community in its early struggle for existence. He died at the age of seventy- two years. His widow, whose maiden name was Susannah Sherman, lived to the advanced age of ninety-two, receiving from the United States government the annual pension of thirty-five dollars and thirty-eight cents in recognition of her husband's services in the War for Independence. They reared five childecn - Joanna, Susannah, Leonard L., William, and Charles H.
Charles H. Haskell, Sr., who was born in Rochester, Mass., in 1803, acquired his education in Steuben. After following the sea for fifteen years, he carried on a general mercantile business for twenty-five years. Dealing also in real estate, he was at one time one of the largest land-owners in Steuben. He served in various town offices, including that of Selectman, was the Postmaster for eight years, and he represented the district with much ability in the legislature of 1872. At his death, on December 25, 1890, his age was eighty-seven years and nine months. Margaret Leighton Haskell, his wife, who was a native of Steuben, became the mother of several children, of whom five reached maturity, and two are living. The latter are: Charles H., the subject of this sketch; and George W., who was born September 10, 1857. The rest of the five were: Rebecca, who died at the age of thirty-nine: Hattie, who died at fifteen; and Lucy, who died at thirty-two. Rebecca was the wife of Captain Eugene Handy, of Steuben. Lucy married Captain George C. Newell. George W. Haskell, still a bachelor, who followed the sea for about five years, is now working at the carpenter's trade, and caring for his real estate interests. After completing his education Charles H. Haskell, the subject of this biography, engaged in farming and lumbering, in which he has since been constantly interested. He is now also the proprietor of a thriving fancy-goods store. Conjointly with his brother, he likewise owns two hundred acres of land In Steuben and sixteen hundred acres in Township NO.7. By his marriage with Nellie Cummings, of Portland, Me., a daughter of Horace B. and Louisa D. Cummings, he is the father of five children - Lucy, Clara, Marion, Olive, and Delmer. In politics he is a Republican, and he has served as second Selectman for one term. Both he and Mrs. Haskell are Methodists, while his brother, George W., is a Universalist.
