Harriet Newell Haskell was born January 14, 1835, at Waldoboro, Maine, the daughter of Bela Bangs and Eliza (Sproul) Haskell. She graduated at Mt. Holyoke College in 1855.

Miss Haskell taught in public schools in Boston, Massachusetts, Waldoboro, Maine, and in a classical seminary at Castleton, Vermont. On March 22, 1867, she was appointed principal of Monticello Seminary at Godfrey, Illinois. Miss Haskell was an ideal woman for this position. She loved her work; she was ambitious, brave, and resourceful: she was poised, self-reliant, and had a buoyant spirit. Through the confidence of her own convictions she inspired those about her.

In 1888, about four months after the fiftieth anniversary of Monticello was celebrated, fire broke out in the Seminary, and the whole structure was burned, together with all the equipment. Miss Haskell was equal to the situation. She gave orders, quieted the frightened pupils, inspired every one with confidence, and all left the building in safety, without a single serious accident.

In sixty days a temporary wooden structure was erected, lighted by gas and steam-heated. The students returned and work was resumed. With an abundance of faith, Miss Haskell began to make appeals for financial assistance for permanent buildings, and within nineteen months this was accomplished and the buildings completed.

Miss Haskell died at the Seminary on May 6, 1907, and was laid to rest on May 10, 1907, at Waldoboro, Maine. Memorial services were held on the following June eleventh, which were attended by many of her pupils and friends.
