October 29, 1937Early residents of Brevard County will remember Miss Julia Phoebe Hascall who came from Pendleton, South Carolina with her parents, Charles J. and Mary Elizabeth (Skinner) Hascall to Merritt Island. Her father liked Merritt so well that he purchased 6 3/4 acres of land from Allen Cleveland in 1888, built a house and started an orange grove. Both father and mother died in Merritt and were buried on the home place.
Funeral services were held for her October 20th, her death having occurred Tuesday, in her 90th year.
Mrs. Charles Hascall was a daughter of General St. John B. L. Skinner, at one time Acting Postmaster General in Washinston, D. C., where he resided for many years. Her grandmother Phoebe Maria Skinner was one of the ten children and first daughter of General Benjamin Mooers of Plattsburg, New York, who was a Lieutenant in the Revolution and on General George Washington's staff at Valley Forge. General Skinner, with other young men, assisted Gen. Mooers at the Battle of Plattsburg in the war of 1812, in defending the bridge over the Saranac River.
Miss Hascall after her father's death lived alone with her pretty little dogs in her home which she called 'The Nutshell." She was a great reader and an artist. Many beautiful pictures, large and small, have been painted by her.
The "Nutshell" was completely destroyed by fire about fifteen years ago and Miss Hascall, though invited to live with relatives, preferred to stay in one of the buildings on the place where her parents lay buried. Few pieces of her beautiful antique furniture, books and paintings, etc., were saved. It was hard for Miss Hascall to live but she had a Generals determination and will power and stuck to it, supporting herself as best she could.
For years Miss Hascall has helped all kinds of people, never turning any needy ones away without giving them some assistance. Of late years she has been away from her home for overnight only twice, once when the house burned and then last April.
Miss Hascall had wanted no service, nor notice given out of her death, but about 20 people came to the funeral at 2 p. m. Wednesday, and J. E. Koon took charge of the burial, her body being laid to rest between the two graves of her parents. Miss Frances Moore read "My Garden" by Thomas Edward Brown, a favorite poem of Miss Hascall. "The Lord's Prayer" followed, all joining in repeating it.
Beautiful flowers, wreaths and ferns were laid on the three graves by her relatives, Miss Christine Norton, Miss Frances and Miss Clara Moore. the latter three being her second cousins through their Grandmother, Charlotte Elizabeth (Mooers) Moor, the second daughter of Gen. Benjamin Mooers. His third daughter and youngest child was Hannah Ann, wife of Rufus A. Gilman, whose daughter, Eliza, married Mr. Benedict of Chicago, Illinois. Miss Allie L. Benedict, their daughter, also a second cousin of Miss Hascall was in Florida, several years ago visiting Miss Norton.
Some of her relatives, Miss Mary Cox of Cullowhee, North Carolina, Mr. Thomas Cox of Bismarck, North Dakota; Mr. Charles Hascall of Baldwin, New York. were at once notified of her passing away.
Henry Bailey Hascall prepared for college at the Malone Academy, entered Norwich University from Plattsburg in 1854 and remained for two years. He enlisted in the Navy at the outbreak of the Civil War and served until 1865.

Report to 49th Congress
April 6, 1886
The evidence on file in the Pension Department shows that the claimant was appointed acting assistant paymaster in the United States Navy June 30, 1862, and was discharged September 9, 1865. The following is a summary of the services, exposures, and sufferings of claimant while in the service:August 7, 1862, reported to Rear Admiral Du Pont for duty on board the United States gunboat Madgie and did duty on her from that date to October 11, 1863; she was acting as a blockader and picket-boat in the marshes and inland channels and rivers of Georgia and South Carolina; before that she had been condemned as unseaworthy by a board of survey, and was twice so condemned while he was on duty on her, her boilers and flues continuously bursting; her hull was water soaked and leaky, requiring constant pumping; the rain came through her deck in the officers quarters and wet their berths and the living rooms occupied by twelve of the officers, including the claimant, the room being 8 feet by 14 feet in size, and located directly over the furnaces and in the rear of the engine. While in her the claimant was constantly exposed to dampness and the malaria of the marshes. This boat foundered October 11, 1863, the officers and men escaping in small boats and being taken to Hampton Roads. This exposure to dampness and malaria brought on rheumatism.
In January 1864, he reported for duty on board the steamer Chenango. In April 1864, in New York Harbor, the boilers of the steamer exploded. The chief engineer and three other officers were scalded to death. The exertions of the claimant in caring for his dying friends and the shock of the explosion brought on nervous debility, which resulted in sciatic rheumatism, abhorrence of food, inability to sleep and general prostration. After being cared for while on shipboard, he was carried to the house of a friend in Brooklyn. While on the Chenango, Assistant Surgeon D. P. Goodhue, of New Hampshire, attended him.
In August 1864, and before he was fully recovered, he was ordered to take charge of stores on board of the chartered steamboat Aphrodite, bound for the Gulf of Mexico. On the second voyage of that vessel she was wrecked at Cape Lookout, North Carolina, and was a total wreck. Twenty men were drowned and missing. The claimant and others were landed on a barren, sandy island, exposed to the weather, which was stormy and cold, with very little food and no fuel for six days. They were taken off in lighters, each containing from seventy to eighty men, through the channel to the fleet, then at Beaufort, a trip lasting twenty four hours, in the midst of a heavy rain, with no covering over them, and so crowded that there was not even room to sit down.
He was then transferred to the United States steamship Mercedita and was ordered to begin transferring men to Admiral Farragut's squadron. This continued about thirty days, when, by proper orders, he reported for duty at the Brooklyn navy yard, where he was directed to take charge of the payment of bounty of the enlisted seamen, paying large sums of money - sometimes as much as $150,000 in a day - until at last, in consequence of his sickness and debility occasioned by his exposure, he was compelled to and did resign.

My Dear Daughter
Your kind & welcome letter came to hand by due course of mail & found us all in our usual health & it gave me great hope that you will finally suceed & finally get yourself a good home.
I have had a hard -issef with my cattarrh this winter, I have been using Dr. Sages cattarrh remedy for cattarrh & it has helped me much, he offers $500.00 dollars for a case he cant cure, but I dont expect to get entirely cured or get the reward. I hope it will relieve me to some extent, this leaves Morris & family & myself so far as sickness is concerned in our usual health. I have not heard from Howell or John for somepage 2
the last I heard from them they were both complaining of hard times though I dont think John has any reason to complain but he had rented 1/4 section of land & did not get much off of it & he got out of heard.
Howell, the last I heard from him he was on Hunt for place near Essex. I dont know how he came out, he said land about Climax had gone up to 4 & five dollars cash rent per acre.
Your Aunt Melvina called on us last August on her way home from Iowa where she she had been visiting friends and relatives for some time. She staid with us four days & then went on home. I got a letter from Rilda some time ago, they were well as common when you. I want you to give me your names & date of birth of all of yourpage 3
I have nearly forgotten all that. I knew about them, what has become of Ray, are his eyes as black and mischievous as when I last saw him. Arthur I think was more like Robbie.
Excuse my poor writing, I do all of my writing & reading without glasses as I cant get any that I can with as well as with my naked eye, I will close hoping you have got stratened up & getting in your crop in good order.
Goodby for the present with love to all, your Father

Obituary Rutland Daily Herald
December 27, 1887Crushed to Death
At a few minutes past 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, as Mr. Charles R. Hascall, aged 39, an engineer, on the Central Vermont railroad, was about to meet his wife in the depot, he started to pass between two freight cars that were about two feet apart in the union freight yard. When just between the couplings the cars suddenly closed up on him, in the process of making up the trains, and the unfortunate man was crushed between the two cars. As soon as possible he was extricated and moved to the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's office in the depot. He was unconscious from the time of his removal and died about 15 minutes later. Mrs. Hascall, who with a Mrs. Bingham, was then on the train about to return to their home in Ticonderoga, was notified and was nearly broken down by the sudden shock. Dr. Charles L. Allen was summoned and to a Herald reporter, who was on the spot immediately after the accident occurred, stated that he found no bones broken, the life being literally crushed out of the body, which was removed soon after to the residence of Mr. Hascall's brother George in West Rutland.
Mr. Hascall had been on the road more than 20 years, and for the past 15 years had been an engineer. For two years past he had run the Ticonderoga train; and never before had met with an accident to himself or to his train. He married Mrs. Addie Risdon of Danby about six years ago. An older brother, Elisha, a fireman, was killed at the Mt. Holly disaster in the spring of 1869, when seven or eight others lost their lives. Elisha's body was recovered by conductor George Bingham, with whom Charles Hascall was boarding in Ticonderoga at the time of his death.
Daniel was a merchant until 1850, then an insurance agent until 1874. He moved from Rochester Vermont to Malone New York circa 1836. He was a Congregationalist.Some works cite a daughter, Nellie Maria Huntington. Analysis of 1860 and 1870 does not support this. Therefore she is not included in this tree.
