May 20, 2019LINCOLN - Robert Merrill Haskell, 87, passed away peacefully May 14, 2019, at Cummings Health Care with family by his side. He was born November 1, 1931, in Bangor, Maine, the son of Bernard Noyes and Ernestine Leola (Merrill) Haskell.
Robert grew up in Lincoln and was a graduate of Mattanawcook Academy and served in the Maine National Guard 1956-57. He married first Charlotte Gordon with whom he had three children. Later, he married Grace Pond.
Robert lived in Lincoln Center just over the hill from Haskell Lumber Company where he first worked for his grandfather George E. and then his uncle George A. and dad Bernard. After years of harvesting wood by horse, working at various positions within Haskell Lumber by his cousin Frederick's side, he became the sawyer and log purchaser and eventually co-owned Haskell Lumber with Frederick and brother-in-law Jay McFalls until his retirement in 2008.
When not working he enjoyed hanging out at the Lincoln Center Garage with his fishing and hunting buddies, gardening, camping in Jonesport or Baxter Park, and feeding neighborhood stray cats and wild critters.
In retirement he fulfilled his dream to travel further, spending months at a time photographing his way across the western US and up into Alaska, first with Grace, later with his son Joey, and then with son-in-law Bill. Sandy Stream Pond, Jasper, Hyder, and Denali were particularly special to him. He found himself chased a few times by upset Momma Grizzlies and bugeling Elk! And there wasn't a dog he couldn't outbark. In his later years he enjoyed visits from special friends Phil Oliver and Robin Fegazzi.
Robert will be missed by his wife Grace and her three children, as well as his three children, Beth Eyles and her husband Bill of Chester, Julie Fleming and her husband Leonard of Woodville, and Joey and his wife Kellie (Ham) of Lincoln; seven grandchildren, Akaila (Eyles) Scorza, Alicia (Eyles) Hopkins , Amanda (Eyles) Willette, Heidi (McCarthy) Lee, Jared McCarthy, Matthew Haskell, and Evan Haskell; six great grandchildren Camden and Ainsley Scorza, Mason and Emerson Hopkins, Kooper and Beckett McCarthy; sister, Sandra Dodson; and several nieces and nephews.

Morning Sentinel (Waterville, ME) - Wednesday, December 22, 2010
BY SUSAN M. COVER
State House BureauAUGUSTA -- Rep. Everett W. McLeod Sr., a Republican from Penobscot County, died Monday at his home after battling cancer.
McLeod, 68, of Lee, had been re-elected Nov. 2 to a fourth term.
Rep. Jeffery Gifford, R-Lincoln, said McLeod, who served on the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee, was a strong supporter of fishing, hunting and snowmobiling. "He was a straight-shooting guy," he said. "Very Christian. Very family oriented. He put God and his family before almost anything and served his constituents well."
In addition to his service on the IF&W committee, he also served on the Utilities and Energy Committee and the Government Oversight Committee. He also was active in town politics in Lee, having served on the school board and as a selectman.
"This is a great loss," Gov. John Baldacci said in a statement. "I've known Everett for 15 years, and he was a good man and a dedicated public servant. I enjoyed working with him to reopen the Lincoln mill and to make life better for the people he represented. Everett was a tireless advocate and will be greatly missed by his family, friends, community and by me personally."
Baldacci traveled to McLeod's home Dec. 5 to administer the oath of office because McLeod was too weak to travel.
U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said in a statement she was "saddened to learn of Everett's passing."
"I last saw him in October when we had lunch together in Lincoln," she said. "I'll always remember his great sense of humor, quick wit and his kindness."
Senate President Kevin Raye, R-Perry, said McLeod was "a dedicated public servant and a devoted family man."
"I was privileged to work with him and get to know him as a colleague," he said in a statement. "My heart goes out to his wife, Sarah, and his family, and they will remain in my prayers in the days to come. His passing is a great loss to the people he served so well, and the entire state of Maine."
McLeod's death marks the first time since 2007 that a sitting legislator died in office. That year, three House members died in office: Abigail Holman, R-Fayette, and her House District 83 successor, Deane Jones, D-Mount Vernon; and Earl Richardson, R-Greenville.
Holman died in a skiing accident, and her replacement, Jones, died of lung cancer. Richardson also died of cancer.
There is no automatic special election to fill McLeod's seat, according to the Secretary of State's office. One of the towns in the district, a large rural area that covers parts of Penobscot, Washington and Hancock counties, must notify the governor of a vacancy before the state can call for an election to fill the seat.

Vol 4 No 3 September 1995The Military Cross, instituted 31 December 1914, is an award to Army officers in recognition of "distinguished and meritorious services in time of war". It consists of a silver cross bearing on each arm an Imperial Crown and in the centre the Royal Cypher, to be worn after British Orders and before medals. The following was published on 18 October 1917:
"His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to award the Military Cross for bravery in the field to Lieutenant Ludlow St. John Haskell, Royal Canadian Field Artillery, for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in charge of signallers. He went forward with the infantry during an attack and passed continually through the enemy barrage, superintending the laying of his lines and the establishing of forward visual stations. During the morning he was seriously wounded but with magnificent pluck and devotion to duty he tried to carry on, which he did for about twenty minutes, when he collapsed from exhaustion. He had, however, already completed signal arrangements which were of the greatest value throughout the day."
It should be further noted that Lt. Haskell, MC, was mentioned in dispatches by Sir Douglas Haig on 7
November 1917.
