February 18, 1996Janet R. Bragg, 83, of Main Street, a former longtime town dispatcher, died Saturday in a Yarmouth nursing home after a brief illness.
She was born in Cumberland, a daughter of Fred and Rachel Dolloff Collins. She attended Cumberland schools and was a 1930 graduate of Greely Institute.
Mrs. Bragg was employed from 1930-1944 as an operator with the Cumberland Office of New England Telephone.
Later, when her daughter had grown, Mrs. Bragg became the dispatcher for the Cumberland and North Yarmouth Fire Departments, retiring in 1982 after 19 years. She was Cumberland's first fulltime dispatcher.
Her daughter, Rachel B. Macgowan of Cumberland Center, recalled her mother's home ''radio room,'' where she dispatched fire and rescue crews 24 hours a day.
''She took four hours off on Fridays. Other than that, she was on around the clock,'' her daughter said.
Mrs. Bragg's husband, the late Edward E. Bragg, worked as a volunteer with the town's rescue squad. She continued to work as a dispatcher after his death in 1973.
Mrs. Bragg was born in her family homestead, built in the 1850s. The antique farmhouse remains in the family, and is now the home of her daughter's family. ''We're now at the fifth generation living here,'' she said.
Mrs. Bragg's grandfather, Oliver Collins, was the town's first road commissioner. Always interested in town matters, Mrs. Bragg had a collection of annual town reports dating back to her own parents' days.
''She was very proud of her roots. She was a Yankee, and she took an active interest in the politics and everything about Cumberland,'' her daughter said.
For several years, Mrs. Bragg was a local Girl Scout leader.
Surviving are her daughter, Mrs. Carroll M. (Rachel B.) Macgowan Jr. of Cumberland Center; two sisters, Elizabeth Savage of Hollis and Joan C. Dixon of Gorham; and three grandchildren, Alexandra R. Macgowan, Carroll M. Macgowan III, and Victoria Ellen Macgowan.

February 10, 2013Marie Haskell Ballard was born October 28, 1921 in Ririe, Idaho, and left behind her earthly body and crossed over into the arms of her Lord on February 4, 2013. She was 91 years old.
She is once again clear of mind, and dancing with her "Slim" and the angels that carried her home. She is no longer burdened by the alzheimers that took so much from her.
She is preceded in death by her first husband, Ralph Woodard; her companion, Will Walker; her husband, Eldon Albert "Slim" Haskell with whom she shared 29 years of marriage that produced four children. Also preceding her in death were her last husband, Bill Ballard and grandson, Caleb Haskell, as well as two sisters and two brothers.
Marie is survived by her daughter, Jan Haskell and her partner, Judi; her son, Brad Haskell and partner, Mary; her son, Kim Haskell and wife, Karen and son, Dan Haskell. Also surviving her are grandchildren, Cherine and Ashley Haskell, Timothy Haskell and wife, Christine, Lauren and Derek Paine and Ashton Haskell. She also leaves behind two precious great-grandchildren, Quinn Haskell and Stella
Paine. Marie cherished her children and was always active in every aspect of their lives. She was the perfect homemaker and always bragged about her kids and grandkids to anyone that would listen.
After leaving Idaho in 1959, she and Slim and the kids moved first to Long Beach, and later Fountain Valley, California. After Slim's death in 1974, Marie resided in LaJolla and Riverside, California before moving to Tucson to be close to her daughter Jan. Marie was a lover of people, always noticing their eyes first. She gave hugs freely, and even in her final days, told those around her how much she loved them. She was a woman of faith, strength and conviction and believed fully that she would be reunited in heaven with Slim, the true love of her life. She saw him "dancing in the doorway" a week before her passing. Marie will be missed by her family and the many lucky folks who knew her. She will be buried next to Slim in Huntington Beach, California with close family in attendance.

Dr. Edward E. Haskell, engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery in Windsor, was born in Nashville, Tennessee, in March, 1879, a son of Edward and Lenora (Lawson) Haskell, who were natives of Maine. The father was a lumberman who followed that business in northern Minnesota for a number of years. He passed away in May, 1896, but his widow is still living.
Their son. Dr. Edward E. Haskell, was reared and educated in Minneapolis. He attended the high school and atterward continued his studies in the State University of Minnesota, from which he was graduated with the class of 1900. Later he became a student in the
University of Colorado and completed his course as one of the alumni of 1913. He had come to Colorado in 1900 and was interested in mining for nine years, traveling all over the west in that connection. At length, however, he determined to take up the practice of medicine and surgery and with that end in view became a student in the medical department of the University of Colorado and completed his course as previously indicated. Following his graduation he opened an office in Windsor, Weld county, in 1913 and has practiced there continuously since. He was formerly a partner of Dr. Raymond but the latter ultimately retired from practice and in 1915 Dr. Haskell of this review entered into artnership with Dr. Nelson, with whom he has since been associated. They have their offices in the Windsor Hospital. Dr. Haskell is a man of recognized professional ability, keeping in touch at all times with the most advanced thought bearing upon the treatment of disease. He is
very careful in the diagnosis of his cases and his skill has found public recognition in an extensive and growing practice. He belongs to the American Medical Association, the Colorado State Medical Society and the Weld County Medical Society. Aside from his practice he has mining interests in Wyoming.Dr. Haskell was united in marriage to Miss Lucille Naylor and to them have been born three children: Donald, Marjorie, and Isabelle. The parents hold membership in the Episcopal church and Dr. Haskell is identified also with the Knights of Pythias and the Woodmen of the World. His political endorsement is given to the republican party and he has served as town trustee for four years, while he and Dr. Nelson have continuously acted as health officers of Windsor. Dr. Haskell is very conscientious in the performance of all of his professional duties and is most careful to conform his practice to the highest professional
standards.History of Colorado
