Titusville Morning Herald
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'

She was a 1949 graduate of Connecticut College. At Connecticut College one of her classmates, Peg McDowell, arranged a blind date for Mimi with her brother Dave, a 1st classman at the U.S. Naval Academy. Their friendship renewed when Dave attended submarine school in Groton, Conn.

December 16, 2022COLEBROOK - William Haskell, of Pondwood Farm, passed away recently at age 89 at his home with his loved ones at his side.
William was born and raised in Bradford, Pa., and Stamford. He attended The Kent School (Kent, Conn.) and Mercersburg Academy (Pa.). He earned his B.A. at Yale and his M.S. at the Columbia University School of Journalism. William took a leave of absence from Yale to serve three years with the Green Berets (77th Special Forces), U.S. Army Airborne.
William was a man of letters and loved reading, mostly nonfiction (he devoured The New York Times every single day and would regularly consult the Encyclopedia Brittanica). He loved words and writing and spent the majority of his journalism career writing for the Torrington Register, where he covered court proceedings and produced a popular weekly column Hill Country letter. Working at the Register allowed him to maintain a bucolic lifestyle at his large property, Pondwood Farm, in North Colebrook.
Before working at the Register, he worked for newspapers from New Zealand to Nantucket, with stints in broadcast news at WTIC in Hartford and in Manhattan for news units of CBS, NBC, ABC. He preferred print journalism and one of his favorite assignments was for Science magazine, who deployed him to Antarctica to cover a story.
His favorite pastime after retirement was cutting firewood and sitting on the terrace overlooking the pond where he could observe nature unfolding before his keen eyes.
William was a fan of wildlife and nature, and especially a fan of crows and ravens that he raised and cared for. He also enjoyed riding motorcycles, hunting, and traveling the world.
William Haskell is survived by his loving partner, Marcia Evans, and his loving children, Anne and Ben Haskell, Ben's wife Jill, and his four grandchildren Kate, Morgan, Adam and Laura.
The Wayland Town Crier
October 21, 2014Evelyn Wellington Danforth, educator and caregiver Lyn's love of life carried her through all the stages of her 75 years.
Beginning in her 1940's childhood in Weston, she was a creative and cheerful mother's helper to three younger siblings as well as companion to her grandmother and namesake Evelyn Wellington at the family's farm, Gateway
Her skill with children and confidence with language led her to her first job as an au pair in France at age 16. After receiving a degree in Early Childhood Education from Bennett College, Lyn did student teaching on a Hopi Reservation in Gallup, NM before accepting a teaching position at the Peck School in Morristown, NJ.
Later on, after marrying science journalist William Haskell at 20, and raising their two children on a farm in rural Colebrook, CT, she realized her dream of running a preschool by opening her home to neighbors with small children. Called The Living Room, the enterprise became the seed for the Winsted Area Nursery School, which she started with two other teachers in 1976. The themes of her preschools were clear: structuring the day in a thoughtful way, showing respect for each child, valuing their individual needs and interests, staying connected to nature in all seasons, and exploring joyful expression through songs, rhythms, art and words.
A very active new phase of Lyn's life began when, after her marriage ended, she moved to Nantucket to become a partner in an educational search firm, Educational Management Network. She also set up and ran a popular B&B, "Danforth House" on Main Street. Lyn became devoted to the Quaker community, served as Clerk of the Meeting and worked to restore the original 17th century meetinghouse.
She wrote this about joining the Cape and Islands Friends community: I feel I have a huge new family. Im so attracted to the simplicity, respect for each other despite differences, and the beauty that comes out when people worship together. Lyn later became a full-time caregiver to elderly residents on the island who wanted to stay at home despite challenges such as dementia. In her journal of the experience, she called the caregiving profession "very honorable". Her loving-kindness was the foremost quality in her work as caregiver, and she worked to brighten the lives of her charges, making each day enjoyable for them. With the Quakers, Lyn studied racial justice and peaceful coexistence, and she practiced at home and at work what she understood on a global scale.
When she bought her first home in a diverse neighborhood in Roslindale in 2007, she and her daughter hosted students from around the world who were studying to learn English, and always made them feel welcome.
Even after suffering an aneurysm and several strokes over the past four years, Lyn maintained courage and a cheerful outlook for her new companions and caregivers at Weston's Sunrise Senior Living house. She died there with her siblings and children around her August 15.
Lyn is the mother of Anne W. Haskell of Roslindale and Benjamin D. Cowie-Haskell and mother-in-law of Rev. Jill Cowie both of Marshfield. She dearly loved her four grandchildren Kate (21), Morgan (21), Adam (19) and Laura Cowie-Haskell (19), all now in college. She is the elder sister of Nicholas W. Danforth, Julie Hyde and Nina Danforth, all of Weston.
