70741. Lewis Judson Haskell

When Lewis Haskell died on April 26th, 2016, his wife Ida wrote the following obituary/biographical sketch in his memory.NHHS is pleased to share Ida's thoughts with Lewis's many friends and admirers.

Lewis Judson Haskell was born March 12, 1920 in the old Eleazar Crabtree house at Crabtree Point. He was the son of James A. Haskell and Ethel Thornton. His father, James A. Haskell was born on Deer Isle and came to North Haven in his teens to work on the Herzog estate at Crabtree Point. Lewis's maternal grandfather, Lewis Thornton was a Welch gardener whom Herzog brought with his family to Maine as he wanted English gardens. Lewis's grandmother, Jane Hughes was Welch English and they lived in Gladestry, Wales. The Thornton family came to America in the steamer Ivernia.

Because Herzog was a German Jew, North Haven people thought he was a spy and distrusted him. Herzog was really a camouflage expert for the government, but he enjoyed teasing the islanders. He had many carriage roads at Crabtree Point and put posts with lanterns along the roads. At night, he would take his employees and walk the roads and change the lights. Some island folks would see the lights change and thought he was signaling but he was teasing them. Herzog loved to fool.

Lewis's grandfather Thornton was indentured to Herzog for five years. When his grandfather Thornton left North Haven, he took the family to Wisconsin, where he had relatives who worked for the railroad repairing the tracks. Lewis's mother, Ethel and her sister Gertrude stayed behind on North Haven. Gertrude married Hubert Grant and resided at the Grant Farm. Ethel met Lewis's father, James Haskell at the Herzog estate in North Haven and they fell in love.

The house where Lewis was born was the oldest on North Haven and two families lived in it. One workman lived on the first floor, and Lewis's parents on second floor. Lewis's maternal grandmother, Jane Hughes Thornton was at his birth. Because of very cold weather, it was hard for the Doctor to get there.

In the 1929 stock crash, Herzog lost his money and had to move. Lewis's family moved to Bartlett's Harbor and settled on the George Wooster farm, which needed much work done on it. Lewis's father lost all of his savings when his bank failed so they were very poor. His father insisted Lewis stop by each day after school to help an old lady who lived alone. She was Aunt Eunice who was a Leadbetter and proud of it. Increase Leadbetter had 3 wives and 20 or 30 children so all the islanders have Leadbetter blood. Once Aunt Eunice told Lewis it was too bad he wouldn't amount to anything because he had no Leadbetter blood!

Lewis wanted to go in the military service. The island doctor, Victor Shields told Lewis that he should be in the Navy. Dr. Shields had an IOU that a psychologist who worked there owed him and Dr. Shields told Lewis if he saw this doctor's name on the door to go and give the note to help him. Lewis saw the door and stepped out of the long line. He got in the room and the doctor asked what he wanted. Lewis said, "I've got a note from Dr. Victor Shields for you." The doctor said, "Vic Shields, how is he?" and then read the note Lewis gave him. The doctor said, "I can't help you. You have too many things the matter" but then took Lewis's paper, stamped a lot of things on it and told him "Now get back in line and keep your mouth shut". When Lewis got to the head of the line they looked at his paper and said, "You are supposed to be in the Navy line." So they took him and he got sworn into the Navy. The next day, he was in a room with others and down front was a desk. An officer said if anyone had a certain number to come forward and Lewis had one. An officer said "You are going to be able to sleep with your wife tonight." Lewis said, "I don't want to." The officer replied, "The Navy can't use you. I don't know who put all these wavers on your papers but the Navy can't use you. Too many things wrong." He couldn't get Lewis to sign. Later, when Lewis got ready to get out after the war, the same doctor was there and remembered him. "You made a liar out of me and survived". Lewis was in the Navy as a hospital corpsman from December 1943-1945 when his hospital ship Tranquil and other ships were off the coast of Japan waiting to land and the bomb was dropped and the war ended!

After the war, Lewis joined the reserves and was called back in the Korean War. He was stationed at the submarine base in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The base was going to use radioactive material and had to know the Rh factor of all the 12,000 workers. Lewis and two other corpsmen were given the job of testing all the workers. They did several a day and had regular duties at the dispensary. Lewis wanted to learn as much as he could so he could help North Haven as they didn't always have a doctor. The Vinalhaven doctor had to cover for both islands. Lewis could see a patient and tell the Vinalhaven doctor to see him if he should come up. While he worked in Portsmouth, Lewis's wife Ida and two little sons lived in a small camp in Kittery, Maine. During his time off, they enjoyed some trips to the White Mountains.

After 14 months in Portsmouth, Lewis and Ida came home to North Haven. On the island, Lewis was very active. He was the only police officer in the 1950s and earned $50 per month. A lot of Vinalhaveners came up to dances and he was the only one to handle them. The police in Rockland told him not to carry a gun. If he got in a mess, he had to be quick and outwit them; they taught him some tricks. He had a lot of frustrating times, but always came out on top.

Lewis worked for Mrs. Hope Felton on her estate at Iron Point for several years. Mr. Felton was vice president of Revere Copper and Brass and had no say at the estate. Lewis was caretaker to Mrs. Felton and he was her boatman and he enjoyed it there. She was quick tempered and he liked to outwit her. They became very good friends. Her daughter, Jennifer Felton Cabot, was 9 years old when Lewis started there and she had no playmates so she chased Lewis around. They became very close friends and he was always ready to help her when she needed him.

Lewis loved North Haven and he involved himself in everything. When the town wanted to sell Mullens Head to an out of town buyer, Ira Curtis and Lewis canvassed the island to save it for the town because islanders had no access to beaches. They were successful and now we have a great town park.

At Pulpit Harbor, there was no place for islanders to land boats. Summer people owned all the land and fishermen had to use hauling lines on shore to reach the boats. Lewis was able to get a lease to the present parking area and get donations to put a dock on the piers that were there. Now the islanders had access to the beautiful harbor.

When Mr. Thomas S. Lamont left $50,000 to the town for islanders, Lewis wanted the town to have a community building and $35,000 was approved. The Sheridan Corporation was given the job and Lewis helped cut costs by also getting volunteers. When finished a metal plaque was put on the door, the plaque was scratched and Lamont wanted to get out of it. The balance was turned over to a trust fund and others could donate. Seward Beacom, a town resident, had a new plaque made, which has lasted. The town was very proud of the building and many activities were held there.
Lewis was an active, lifetime member of the North Haven Baptist Church and helped save the old Pulpit Harbor Church. He was a member of the Grange. He helped start the Historical Society after old documents were thrown away at the town dump and antique dealers were carting off items and cheating island people. Lewis built a small museum to house his collections and later added more rooms. Later, he gave the building and collection of antiques to the historical society. He was a selectman several times. He was always ready to try and solve a problem in town and usually succeeded.

Lewis always had a boat and took others on day trips. His two sons learned to run boats early and by 12 years old had their own boats and lobster traps. They were very independent. Lewis was a storyteller and folks gathered at their home Sunday morning to hear them and enjoy their goodies. He and Ida put together a collection of his true short stories and published them in a book Cold Milk and Apple Pie.

Lewis received the Boston Post Cane for the town's oldest citizen. A few years ago his eyesight faded; he could read no more and his memory left. We had to leave North Haven; we couldn't take care of ourselves and came to Quarry Hill in Camden. Our home and land will go to the Historical Society when we die. We had a good life and always did things together. Lewis loved North Haven and people and always tried to help when he could. He was a problem solver and knew the ancestors of all. His ashes will be sprinkled at Bartlett's Harbor by his family and he has a memorial stone at Fuller Cemetery.

Victor Sherman Haskell

STONINGTON - The ever-present twinkle in Vic's eyes was lost on February 17, 2015 at the Island Nursing Home in Deer Isle. He was born on October 11, 1925 during a snow storm in Deer Isle, the son of Arthur Cabot and Beatrice (Pickering) Haskell.

After attending schools on Deer Isle until his senior year, Vic graduated from Cape Elizabeth High School in 1943. He then served in the United States Navy in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Shortly after his discharge, he proposed to and married his high school sweetheart, Barbara Marie Weed, on August 17, 1946. After a year at the University of Maine, they returned to Deer Isle and later moved to Stonington. In 1951, Vic opened V-R Market and later Vic's IGA in Stonington, which he operated for over 30 years. Many high school students got their first jobs working at Vic's and he eased the economic stress of winter on the Island by extending credit to many of his customers. Vic was a member of American Legion Post No. 102, Masonic Marine Lodge No. 122 and a Shriner. In his retirement years, he welcomed many friends and new acquaintances to his "Breakfast Club" in the basement of his home in Stonington, where pool and cribbage games, comradery and Barb's muffins and biscuits were enjoyed by all.

Vic was predeceased by Barb who passed away on October 12, 2010, his brother, Arthur C. ("Dud") Haskell, of Deer Isle and his sister, Carolyn Heston, of Indianapolis, Indiana. He is survived by a son, Dean and his wife Cris of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina and a son, Chris and his wife Jane of Gardiner, Maine and their sons Dustin and Sean.

70747. Benjamin Paul Montenegro


Obituary, Funeral Home posting

Ben Montenegro, a 61 year resident of Ashland, MA passed away from congestive heart failure. The only child of the late Ralph P. and Marguerite (Haskell) Montenegro formally of Upton, MA Ben Montenegro died at the age of 89 years.

Ben leaves his wife of 63 years, Betty Jane (Rohn) Montenegro; son R. Paul and wife Joan of Providence, RI; daughter Deborah and husband Don Gillespie of Ashland, MA; son F. Peter and wife Maria of Tolland, CT; son William D. and wife Lauren of Upton, MA and son Benjamin P. Montenegro, Jr. of Framingham, MA.

Grandchildren include Maegan Montenegro of Upton, MA; Mike Montenegro and wife McKenna of Ipswich, MA; and Joe Montenegro of Amherst, MA.

A native of Framingham, MA Ben Montenegro enlisted in the U.S. Navy his senior year at Framingham High School/Class of 1942 immediately following Pearl Harbor. He served at sea on two destroyers seeing action in both the European and Asian military campaigns until the end of WWII. Montenegro received the Purple Heart for injuries received with the sinking of his first destroyer in the Mediterranean Sea.

Following the war, Montenegro attended business school in Boston before joining the former Independent Coal Tar Company's regional office in Framingham as the general manager. The company was a road building contractor operating in the New England and New York regions.

In 1961, Ben Montenegro founded and managed Independent Bituminous Co., Inc. formally of Holliston, MA for 20 years until its sale as an operating company. Joining the Town of Ashland as the highway surveyor to fill a vacancy by request of the Board of Selectmen, Ben was later elected to the position. With a town charter change including the formation of the department of public services, Ben Montenegro was appointed the inaugural director serving a total of nine years in the management of the Town of Ashland public works.

Ben then joined with G.L. Gerry Daigle of Bellingham, MA and Gary B. Berkley of Norton, MA to form a public works consulting group for industry clients. The OTH Group ("Over the Hill" Group) operated for seven years until the official retirement of Ben and Gerry, also dubbed by the public works community as "the ice cream boys" during their OTH tenure.

Ben Montenegro is best known by long time Ashland citizens for his volunteer work in the community. Ben helped to found and manage the Men's Club of Ashland during the 1970s and early 1980s which is credited with the construction of the original running track, baseball field, lighted tennis courts and the lighting of the football field at Walker Field now part of the Ashland Middle School complex. All work was completed at no cost to the town.

Ashland Day and the Ashland Emergency Fund are two signature projects that Ben Montenegro helped to organize and manage as well. Elected town officials and town office staff acknowledged Ben Montenegro for his tremendous community involvement with the naming of Montenegro Square directly across from the Ashland Town Library. How fitting that Montenegro Square houses the Santa Claus community meeting shed.

In the span of 20 years her husband, "Jack" and she would take over and manage the M.D. Joyce Company and Barter Lumber Company that was started by her father, Arthur Barter. As she would often say, "I grew up at my father's store, standing on a wooden box in order to run the cash register and total the amounts on a brown paper bag." She enjoyed working with the public at the store throughout her life. Her outgoing personality and smile would always brighten other people's day. Donna and Jack enjoyed traveling abroad on several trips with friends, indulging in her love of history. Later in life she would experience debilitating health issues. She was a strong person, never complaining and pressed on. She loved Deer Isle, its people, her family and her friendships deeply. In later years, she found great pleasure watching the deer, ducks and ducklings that visited her backyard pond, birds at her feeders; and her beloved dog, "Mary Margaret." Donna was a generous person giving many gifts to others and supporting many local organizations and charities.

She is survived by her daughter, Cynthia A. Billings; sons, Arthur Jackson Billings, and his wife, Diane, and Dana Billings, and his wife, Bobbi. Patricia Murray gave her such joy and one whom she considered a second daughter. She was a loving grandmother to the four grandchildren, Sara, Lori, Anne, Blake; and one great-grandson, Jackson.
