September 25, 2002BREED, RUTH LADD Is no longer 'among those present.' On September 21, 2002, at the age of 86, she embarked on the Great Adventure, the journey to the land from whence no traveler returns.
She was born Ruth Haskell Ladd on June 25, 1916, to Harry P. and Charlotte Haskell Ladd, in Kewanee, Illinois.
As a youth, she loved reading, language, and literature, interests that persisted throughout her life. A highlight of her childhood was becoming Illinois State Spelling Champion in 1928. Following her father's death a few months later, her mother became a realtor to support and educate the three children. After three years at the University of Illinois, Ruth lived in Chicago for seven years, where she worked first at Swift and Company, then as Secretary to the Editor of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
She married Carl H. Breed August 10, 1941, and in 1944 they moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where Carl worked for the Glenn L. Martin Company during World War II. During these seven years, Ruth studied modern dance and painting. Both she and Carl had paintings accepted in the juried Maryland Show of the Baltimore Museum of Art. Their first child was born in Baltimore, the second in Grand Rapids, and the third in Jackson. The family's sojourn in their Grass Lake home dates from Memorial Day 1952. In Grass Lake, Ruth's childhood training and talents in music found expression in a variety of original compositions and arrangements performed in the region. She became involved with PTA and Child Study Club, for which she arranged music for three female voices and directed children and adults in performances of lullabies, Christmas songs and folk songs. With assistance from the Grass Lake High School music teacher, their group performed Benjamin Britten's 'A Ceremony of Carols.' She composed a sequence of a dozen solos and trios for voice and piano for a Child Study Club meeting, a program which was then performed for clubs around the state. Ruth was active in the Ann Arbor Recorder Society. She composed music for four recorders, including a program written and performed for the Grass Lake wedding of Tamsen Mather. As an active and vocal member of the community, she started the Grass Lake Community Scholarship Fund, serving for many years as Trustee/Treasurer, and was a Founding and lifelong Board Member of the Whistlestop Park Association.
Ruth was preceded in death by her parents; her sister Betty Donoho in Ardmore, Oklahoma; and her husband Carl H. Breed on October 11, 1987.
She is survived by her brother Jack Ladd of Rochester, New York; three loving children, C. Hedger (Mariam) Breed of Ypsilanti, Christina Ladd Breed of Grass Lake, and Colin A. Breed of Ypsilanti and Deborah DeLorenzo of Ann Arbor and five adoring grandchildren.

George Bennett Paine Haskell (Josh)
Josh Haskell, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, age 79, passed away June 21, 2024, at his residence in Kirtland Hills, Ohio, after a battle with lung cancer.
He was born November 24, 1944, in Ashtabula, Ohio, to George Paine and Margaret (Merritt) Haskell.
Josh graduated from The Hotchkiss School (class of 1962); Yale University (class of 1966); and Case Western Reserve University School of Law (class of 1975). While at Yale he was co-director of The Exit coffeehouse and chairman of the Yale-in-Jail program. He was also one of only two students on Law Review who graduated in the top 10% of the class. After graduation, Josh worked at the law firm of Baker, Byron and Hackenberg where he became a partner. Later he started his own practice in Painesville. Josh's law career included both private practice and dedicated government service. He served as assistant to the law director for both Kirtland Hills and Willoughby and as the law director for Perry Township.
After a forty-nine year career, Josh retired from practice in 2023.Josh enjoyed diverse pastimes. After Yale, he led a discussion group on his favorite book Finnegans Wake. Following his dad's lead with ESNO (Epicurean Society of Northeastern Ohio), Josh and his friends formed SESNO (The Supreme Epicurean Society of Northeastern Ohio) to continue the tradition of planning and preparing delicious four course meals for their wives. He and his friends also created The Friday the 13th Society. According to the bylaws, it was a "Purposeless Society" that met every Friday the 13th to enjoy prearranged outings chosen by the group. And let's not forget the trains! On snowy winter days, you could find Josh working on his Lionel train layout the sounds of train whistles and clacking tracks emanating from the basement. However, when the weather broke and spring arrived, Josh's focus was on his first love gardening. He worked tirelessly to turn his five-acre property into his own beautiful arboretum. And he enjoyed every minute of it.
Josh is survived by his wife, Susan Ball Haskell; son, Seth (Kristin) Haskell; daughter, Devon (Aspen) Gorry; grandchildren, Rowan and Sage Gorry; sister, Sheila (Lynn) Smith. He also leaves behind his sister-in-law, Ann Ball Frost; brother-in-law, Bob Munger (Jill Nooney); nieces, Kirsten (Randy) Likes, Meghan (Rich) Schofield, Leslie (Lewis) Stouffer, and Laura (Gerry) Northwood; nephews, Brian (Leora Fromm) Smith, John (Christine) Frost, and Rob Munger (Jennifer Strong).
