The Island Remembers
by Beulah Hitchcock
1979Rose Weiche and Raymond Haskell were married in 1908 and moved into a place at the head of the cove, on the south side. In 1903 the Weiches moved here from Wisconsin and bought the Quame place (which is now the Scott place south of the schoolhouse) to farm and raise poultry. The Weiches had five children: Hattie, Rose, Anna, Dora and Adolph.
Rose and Raymond had two children, Henry and Gertrude. In 1911, when Henry was about two years old, the family was out on their boat Marie. Henry was playing around and tossed his rag doll over the side of the boat. He jumped in to get it and was floating on top of the water, like a cork, when his dad discovered him and jumped in to save him from drowning; they also saved the rag doll.
Henry had the misfortune of getting burned quite badly when he was three or four years old. There was a fire out in the yard and Henry playfully threw some gas on the fire after his mother had told him not to. The gas exploded and it burned his hands and face. Rose also got burned on the arm helping Henry. They loaded him in the Marie and took him to a Doctor in Shelton as fast as they could, but it took about two hours. Henry still suffers from this bad experience.
The boat Marie, which was about forty feet long and twelve feet wide, was bought in partnership with Ray's uncle, John Haskell. They hauled passengers and freight to Shelton, Olympia and Tacoma. One time coming from Shelton, they had a big load of hay aboard. In "Big Skookum," where the tide runs strong and makes big whirlpools, the Marie tipped to one side and the hay on top went into the bay, so there was a lot of wet hay. Later, the Haskells bought a boat they called The Vixon.
In the summer, the Haskells would load up the Marie with Islanders and take them into Shelton to attend the county fair. One time they didn't make it when they ran aground on a sandbar in Big Skookum Bay. Most of the day was spent waiting for the tide to come in so they could go home. No fair, just a lot of disappointed people.
The Haskells had two horses, "Katie" and "Babe," which they used for farming. The eighth graders had to go to Bennett Howard's, which was about three miles away, to take their state eighth grade examinations in June. Not wanting to walk, the kids decided to go on horseback, though none of them had ridden much before. Henry rode frisky "Katie," Helen Anderson had very gentle "Babe" and Esther Goetsch rode "Ruby" (Andrew Johnson's beautiful brown horse). They arrived there with only a few problems, but Gertrude Howard wasn't too happy about having all that horse smell in her home. After the exams, the kids merrily went home. The next day, none of them could walk or sit down for some time, but they had had fun.
Henry's granddad bought the Jarrell's place, which was a Government Lot. When he passed away, his children inherited it and they divided the property by drawing straws. Henry's mother, Rose, drew the Jarrell's place, so now Henry owns it and uses it for a summer home. Every Fourth of July and Labor DAY weekend one sees campers, tents, bonfires and a lot of grandchildren enjoying an outing along wIth grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Ruth's middle name is the same as her surname.
Hartstene Island, Washington State, is also and frequently spelled Harstine Island, but it appears that Hartstene is the state official spelling. Si Willard Haskell served in the US Navy and died at the US Naval Hospital in San Diego, California. He is buried in the National Cemetery, San Diego, California.
