The Carborundum Worker
April 1919Mr. FRANK W. HASKELL. President of The Carborundum Company and its allied companies died suddenly at Daytona, Florida, April 2nd. Mr. Haskell had been in Daytona since January and seemingly had been in the best of health. The news of his sudden demise came as a distinct shock.
Mr. Frank W. Haskell was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., December 17, 1861. In 1879 he became connected with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company in a clerical capacity. In 1887 he was associated with Mr. H. C. Frick and became identified with several of the Frick interests. He remained with Mr. Frick until 1898 when he was made vice-president of The Carborundum Company at Niagara Falls, N. Y. One year later he was made president, succeeding Dr. Edward Goodrich Acheson, who organized and became president of the Acheson Graphite Company.
In 1905 Mr. Haskell came into national prominence through his handling of the Frick Investigation Committee, which investigated the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Mr. Haskell wrote the report and Senator P. C. Knox handled the legal details.
Mr. Haskell was married in 1881 to Clara L. Seymour. He is survived by Mrs. Haskell, his son, Benjamin Haskell, his father, Benjamin Haskell and three brothers.
Mr. Haskell had been a resident of Niagara Falls up to 1916, when he sold his Buffalo Avenue home and moved to West Ferry Street Buffalo. He was a member of the Niagara Club, the Buffalo Club, the Country Club of Buffalo, the Park Club of Buffalo, the Duquesne Club of Pittsburgh, the Automobile Club of Buffalo and the Automobile Club of America, the Empire State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, and the Society of Colonial Wars. He was also a director of the Power City Bank.
He was a man of marked talents, being considered expert in the matters of finance and corporation organization. He had distinct literary tastes and ability and was intensely interested in stamp collecting, his collection being one of the most complete in the country.
Mr. Haskell had a host of friends in the city and throughout the country who will sincerely mourn his loss. His associates among the men in the official family of The Carborundum Company, as well as the men in the plant, will mourn the loss of a sincere friend, a man of broad and liberal policies and an executive who was always approachable and who always had the interests of the employees of The Carborundum Company at heart.
A great deal of the success of The Carborundum Company is attributed to Mr. Haskell's efforts, his keen sense of judgment as an executive and his ability as a financier.
Funeral services were held from the Haskell winter home at No. 384 South Beach Street, Daytona, Florida, on Thursday, April 3rd, the Rev. Dr. Robert Stuart MacArthur officiating. The remains were placed in a vault until the following Monday when they were removed to the Haskell homestead at Bloomfield, N. J., interment being in the family plot at Bloomfield, on Wednesday afternoon, April 9th. Among those who attended the funeral were R. B. Mellon, vice-president of The Carhorundum Company, George R. Rayner, Secretary and Sales Manager; Frank Tone, Works Manager; F. H. Manley, Treasurer; Charles H. Greenwood, Works Superintendent; John P. Seymour, Supt. Paper and Cloth Department and R. B. Fuller, Charles Knupfer, E. G. Acheson, and C. C. Lathrop.
In speaking of the death of Mr. Haskell, Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers Record and who was a close friend of Mr. Haskell and one of his neighbors at Daytona, said: "Mr. Haskell was 'one of the finest characters I ever knew. He was a Christian gentleman in its highest sense. He had one of the keenest and most brilliant analytical minds I have ever come in touch with. In his great business operations he was always keenly alive to the welfare and progress of the employees of his company whether in the office or factory. His death is a distinct loss to the great forces of business leadership in America. " Such was the man whom we of the Carhoundum Family mourn.
