Massena - Abel Haskell, one of the oldest, if not the oldest citizen of Massena, died at his home on the Grasse river road about a mile east of this village on Saturday after an illness lasting since February 6. The funeral will be held from his late home, Tuesday at 1, Rev. Mr. Petty of Canton conducting the service. Interment will be made at Massena Center.Mr. Haskell was born in Massena April 3, 1822, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lemuel Haskell, who were among the very early settlers of Massena, coming here from Fitchburg, Mass., and locating east of the village on land purchased from the Indians. Mr. Haskell, sr., built a mill on the property which was a grist, saw and shingle mill combined. The family lived in the mill and it was here that Abel Haskell was born. Shortly after his father built the stone house near the mill which has since been his home. He worked with his father in the mill until the death of his father, when he took charge of the mill, which he operated until the advent of the canal. At that time he sold his land and the mill property to the canal company, taking a life lease of the house and a few acres of land.
Mr. Haskell never married. His home was in the care of a housekeeper. Thrifty and economical, he accumulated a nice property. He was a familiar figure on the village streets, coming frequently to town as long as his health permitted. He is the last of seven children and his nearest surviving relatives are nephews and nieces.
John Robinson Herring served in the War of 1812.

Gateway Press 1990DR. GEORGE HASKELL, s/o Samuel Haskell, was b. 23 Mar. 1799 at Harvard, Mass., d. 23 Aug. 1876, Vineland, N.J.; m. Eunice Prescott Edwards, b. ca. 1803, Acton, Mass.
The Samuel Haskells moved to Waterford, Maine in 1803. George received his M.D. degree from Dartmouth College in 1827 and taught one term of school in East Haverhill. One of his pupils was John G. Whittier. Supposedly, Dr. Haskell was the schoolmaster in Whittier's poem "Snow Bound".
Dr. Haskell came to Illinois in 1831 and settled at Edwardsville and later went to Alton, Ill. He built up a large medical practice, but because of the pro-slavery sentiment in that area, he decided to move to Rockford. He came aboard the steamship "Gypsy", the first steamer ever to reach Rockford. For a short time he conducted a mercantile business which was the successor of Platt and Sanford. He planted a nursery and became an expert in raising fruit. He and his brother-in-law, John Edwards, gave land to the city which later became Haskell Park.
In 1853, Dr. Haskell became a convert to Spiritualism and entered upon his new religious life with the energy and enthusiasm which he had had when adhering to the Baptist doctrine. He published a monthly paper "Spirit Advocate" and later consolidated it with the "Orient".
In 1866, Dr. Haskell moved to N.J. and founded an industrial school. He purchased with others 4,000 acres of land which was laid out for a model community.
Jonathan Witt was a farmer.
3822. Ephraim Farnsworth Haskell
Ephraim Farnsworth Haskell was a farmer. According to published Haskell family records the parents of Ephraim are uncertain. Whether his middle name was Farnsworth is also uncertain. The 1850 Federal Census for Wilmington, Windham Co., Vermont, shows a middle initial of "F".
It is possible that the parents of Ephraim were Andrew and Chloe (Freeman) Haskell rather than William and Mercy (Farnsworth) Haskell.
