Tribute ArchiveDavid Andrew Haskell, 93, of Hadley passed away peacefully on February 3, 2022 after a period of declining health.
David was born on March 26, 1928, in Lakewood, Ohio, the only child of Andrew Stone Haskell and Alice Marie Hussey Haskell. He grew up exploring the local fields and forests, forming a naturalist club with other young boys in his neighborhood. The passion to study plants and animals continued throughout his lifetime, resulting in a Bachelor of Science degree from Ohio State University and a Doctor of Philosophy from Purdue University, both in Biology, with a specialized
interest in Botany. When David graduated from Purdue, there were two open academic positions in Botany in the nation: one at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts and the other in the U.S. Virgin Islands. David was thrilled to receive the offer to teach at Smith College, eventually becoming a full Professor of Biological Sciences. After teaching for over 30 years at the College, he retired in 1990.David met Judith Ann Parsons while both were working toward their PhD at Purdue University. They were engaged within 2 weeks of meeting and married soon thereafter. Within several years they had started a family, with a daughter, Heather Rebecca and a son, Jordan Mark and a dalmatian named Birch. As a family they traveled every summer across country, camping out, visiting landmarks and national parks and finding respite in the beautiful scenery and people they met along the way.
Among David's most memorable events was his service in the US Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps while attending Ohio State University. Prior to a medical discharge, he traveled to Hawaii, France and the Caribbean Islands, and docked the USS Missouri in San Francisco. While on sabbatical from Smith, he traveled to the Arctic Circle to research the short-blooming flora, journeying to remote locations, and always carrying a noise maker to frighten away any polar bears he encountered. He was an enthusiastic supporter of his children's endeavors, cheering on Jordan's athletic career by traveling to Germany to watch him win the world championship in Ultimate Frisbee and riding the Trans-Siberian Railway across Russia into China to meet Heather, teaching English for a year, in Beijing.
Throughout his life, David enjoyed collecting stamps, researching the family genealogy, cultivating spectacular gardens, watching the birds and squirrels delight in the lavish meals he set out for them, listening to classical music, and petting the many dogs that lived with the family over the years.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Judy, his daughter, Heather and her husband, Frederick Burns, his son, Jordan, his grandson, Kirk Edward and his former daughter-in-law, Molly Hoyle.
Daily Hampshire Gazette
September 13, 2023.Hadley, MA - Judith Ann Parsons Haskell, 88, of Hadley, passed away on September 6, 2023, three days after undergoing emergency abdominal surgery.
Judy was born on April 18, 1935, in Barberton, Ohio, the only child of Marion Ernest Parsons and Dorothy Alene Hostetter Parsons. She spent her childhood writing stories, drawing pictures, and making dolls as well as learning about insects, especially butterflies, in the fields near her home. Her maternal grandmother, an antique dealer, introduced Judy to the world of heirlooms, a collecting passion she pursued with enthusiasm the rest of her life.
The first in her family to graduate from college, Judy was a fearless trail blazer for women of her generation, and subsequent generations of women who pursue what is now referred to as STEM Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. She received her Bachelor of Science degree, with honors, from Ohio State University and her Master's and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in the biological sciences from Purdue University. It was at Purdue that she met her future husband, David Haskell, who was also pursuing his Ph.D. David enjoyed telling the story of seeing Judy through the window as she was busily working in the lab, and becoming instantly smitten. They were engaged in two weeks, married soon after, and within several years had started a family, with a daughter, Heather Rebecca and a son, Jordan Mark and a dalmatian named Birch. As a family they traveled every summer across the country, camping out, visiting landmarks and national parks, and collecting souvenirs of their journeys. David and Judy were married for 63 years before David's passing in 2022.
In 1961, Judy completed her Ph.D. and joined David, working as a botany professor in the biology department at Smith College, in Massachusetts. A scientist with the looks of a supermodel, Judy accepted a position as a biochemical researcher and co-principal investigator for the United States Public Health Service at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She studied the active transport of potassium and sodium on metabolism in silkworms, a project that had implications in the treatment of muscular dystrophy. After seven years, and publishing and collaborating on eleven articles about her research findings, she left the lab for teaching, becoming a biology teacher at Northampton High School. She excelled in the classroom and soon was named Head of the Science Department for grades K -12, a position she held for over twenty years. She won the Outstanding High School Science Teacher by the Williams College Sigma Xi Club, an academic honor society that recognizes scientific research and confirmed the impact she had on her students. In addition to her success integrating research into the high school science curriculum, she and her students organized an annual blood drive for the American Red Cross, with Judy always first in line to donate blood. Her former students, many of whom went on to become researchers and doctors, still remark that her "Origin of Life" lecture was the best they had ever heard.
Throughout her life and after retiring in 1990, Judy pursued her passions of helping others, collecting antiques, and learning about the galaxy. During her lifetime she nursed dozens of abandoned or injured birds to health, often brought to her by friends, neighbors and her students, and tended to a menagerie of animals including baby chicks, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, finches, squirrels, dogs, cats, bats, and a 6-foot iguana named Iggy. Called "a healer" by friends, people sought her out for her willing ear and sound advice. Judy could be found searching for treasures at tag sales, auctions and flea markets every weekend with her daughter, Heather, and son-in-law, Fred, and was thrilled every time a new image from the Hubble and Webb Telescopes was released. Watching Nova with her son, Jordan, was one of her favorite pastimes. She was among the first volunteers at the Hospice Shop for the Fisher Home, where she worked for over a decade. And, her chili was legendary!
Judy is survived by her daughter, Heather and her husband, Frederick Burns, her son, Jordan, with whom she lived, her grandson, Kirk Edward, her former daughter-in-law, Molly Hoyle, and two devoted dogs, Danny and Joey. Her husband, David, passed away in 2022.

July 29, 1901"KILLED BY A SNAKE'S BITE - Little Nellie Noyes of Shamburg, Was Bitten by a Rattler and Died Last Evening - Two-year-old Nellie, the daughter of Jesse Noyes, who resides on the Sheridan farm, near Shamburg, was bitten by a rattlesnake about noon yesterday and died at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The little girl went out of the house into the yard and an instant afterward her parents were startled by a scream. Rushing to the spot, they found the child lying on the ground unconscious. An examination showed two red spots an inch apart on the left leg between the knee and ankle. Mr Noyes took the little girl, as rapidly as possible, to Pleasantville, to the home of D H Noyes, and summoned Dr Lupher, who cauterized the wound and made every known effort to stop the flow of poison through the child's system. A knife inserted in the wounds failed to produce blood and the limb swelled rapidly, becoming spotted and finally black, increasing to more than three times its normal size. After suffering untold agonies until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the little sufferer died, all efforts to save her life having proved entirely unavailing."

July 31, 1901"CORRECT ACCOUNT OF NELLIE NOYES' DEATH - No Question But That She Was the Victim of a Rattlesnake Bite, as First Reported - The Herald is in receipt of the following from J D Noyes, of Shamburg, the father of Nellie Noyes, the little girl who was bitten by a rattlesnake Sunday and subsequently died from the bite at Pleasantville on the evening of the same day:
'To the Editor of the Herald: Dear Sir - We wish a true account published of the death of our little girl, so I send you the particulars. At 1:15 Sunday afternoon Nellie left the table and went out the back door, down a walk that leads to the chicken house. About seventy feet from the house she left the walk and proceeded on down a road sixty feet more, where the accident happened. Miss Jessie Harris, of Siverleyville, had just stepped from the walk and called her. She started to run and had taken only a few steps when Miss Harris heard her cry and saw something strike her, but supposed it was a stick. She picked her up and brought her to the house. Nellie was not unconscious or in much pain, as she was not crying, and her leg looked as though it had been hurt by a stick, as Miss Harris thought. But in a very short time she could not stand up and we knew something had bit or stung her, but did not yet think it was a rattlesnake. She said a mosquito had bitten her and "ran away in the woods." I hitched up the horse, and by the time I got started to Pleasantville she was in great pain and remained so until I reached what is known as Grant's watering trough when she seemed to get drowsy and remained so until I reached father's house. I summoned Dr J M Lupher and he done (sic) all that could be done, but she did not suffer, as she was, I think, paralyzed or benumbed. She was conscious all the time and would speak to me when I would say anything to her. She passed away very quietly and without pain. We have not found the snake, but there is no doubt but that it was a rattlesnake. Miss Harris did not see a snake. We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for their kindness and especially the little girls who brought flowers. J D NOYES, Shamburg, July 30, 1901'
