Daily Times
October 6, 1902Peter S. Haskell, an old and respected citizen of this city, died at his home, 554 Congress Street, at an early hour this morning. He was eighty-eight years old, and is believed to be at the time of his death the oldest resident born in Troy. He was born September 1, 1814, in a house on River Street, just below Division Street.
He conducted a merchant tailoring establishment at the corner of Third and Congress Streets many years. It is said that had President Garfield lived Mr. Haskell would have been appointed postmaster of Troy. The appointment was pending when the President was assassinated. At the time President Garfield was a student at Williams College and was teaching school at Eagle Mills he was without money to purchase a suit of clothes, and, needing the clothes badly, had asked Mr. Haskell to trust him. The request was cheerfully granted and Mr. Haskell told the future President that he could pay him at his convenience. A friendship between the two resulted from this transaction and the president never forgot Mr. Haskell, and was about to give substantial evidence of his gratitude when death claimed him.
Mr. Haskell was for many years an attendant at the First Baptist Church. He was a Republican in politics. His wife died several years ago, and also a son. The father of the deceased came from Troy from Springfield, Mass., in the early part of the century and was a prominent citizen here. The deceased was a member of Mount Zion Lodge, D. and A.M., which organization will take action on his death and will conduct the funeral service.
