Northern California Conference
of Seventh-day AdventistsPresident of the California Conference (1878-1887, 1891-1894, 1908-1911)
Stephen Nelson Haskell was born in Oakham, Mass., April 22, 1833. He became a Christian in 1848, joining the Congregational Church. Within five years (1853) he was preaching part-time for the First-day Adventists, while also making and selling soap. But later that year, after receiving a tract titled Elihu on the Sabbath he began to keep the seventh-day Sabbath.
In 1850, Haskell married Mary Howe. The Haskells, along with several ladies, formed the Vigilant Missionary Society in 1869, dedicated to the distribution of printed tracts. This organization expanded to the Tract and Missionary Society and is sometimes referred to as the beginning of what we know today as the Adventist Book Center.
Between 1854-1870, Haskell worked as a self-supporting preacher within the Seventh-day Adventist movement in New England. He was ordained as a minister in 1870 with James White, J. N. Andrews and J. H. Waggoner officiating. Elected that same year as president of the New England Conference, he served in that capacity for the next 17 years.
Haskell was also elected as president of the California Conference in 1878, a position he held until 1887, while at the same time continuing to serve as president of the New England Conference. During this time, in 1882 he helped organize the first European Council in Europe and also founded South Lancaster Academ y (now Atlantic Union College). In 1885 he was in charge of opening the Adventist work in Australia and New Zealand, which included starting the Echo Publishing Company (now Signs Publishing Company). And amazingly, in 1885 he was also elected president of the Maine Conference while still serving as conference president in California and New England.
In June 1887, Haskell, along with three Bible workers, opened the Adventist work in London, England, organizing the first Adventist church there. In 1888-89, he went on a world tour on behalf of mission outreach, visiting numerous locations in Europe, Africa, India, China, Japan and Australia. On that trip Haskell baptized the first Seventh-day Adventists in both China and Japan.
The California Conference elected Haskell to serve again as conference president in 1891. Mary Haskell passed away in January 1894, and shortly thereafter Haskell left the presidency of the California Conference, conducting meetings in Europe and Africa. Ellen White invited Haskell to come to Australia in 1896 to teach at the newly opened Avondale School for Christian Workers (now Avondale College). It was there that he met and married Hetty Hurd in 1897.
Returning to the United States in 1899, Haskell held various Bible training schools and evangelistic series across the country. In 1901 he worked in New York City, organizing the first African-American church there. Haskell came west to the Loma Linda and San Bernardino areas in 1905. Once again, in 1908 the California Conference elected him to serve as president for a third time, a position he held until 1911 when the California Conference was divided into three different territories. Haskell now retired at the age of 79.
Steven Haskell had a long-lasting friendship with James and Ellen White , dating back to the late 1850s. Ellen White wrote more letters to Haskell than to any other church leader. At the Battle Creek funeral service for Ellen White in 1915, Haskell was asked to preach the sermon.
In his later years, Haskell led out in temperance work in Maine (1911), began printing books for the blind (1912) and assisted in the development of the White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles (1916). Hetty Haskell passed away Oct. 21, 1919, in South Lancaster, Mass. He died Oct. 9, 1922, at Paradise Valley Sanitarium in National City, Calif. He was buried next to his first wife, Mary, in Napa, Calif., with A. G. Daniells, R. F. Cottrell and J. L. McElhany presiding at the service. (McElhany served as president of the California Conference from 1915-1918).
During his life, Haskell was the author of several books that continue to be reprinted: The Story of Daniel the Prophet (1901), The Story of the Seer of Patmos (1904), The Cross and Its Shadow (1914) and Bible Handbook (1919).

January 31, 1894
Mrs. H. Haskell, wife of Henry Haskell, died Monday night at 11 o'clock at her home on Even St. Deceased was 82 years, and had been an invalid for some time.
Hetty Hurd was born in Jacksonville, Ill., January 23, 1857. She gave her heart to the Lord when but eight years of age. In later years, with her relatives, she moved to California, and in October, 1884, she took her stand for this truth. From that time to the time of her illness a few months ago, she was a true, loyal, devout, and faithful servant of the blessed Christ in advancing the third angel's message. About two years later she gave herself to the spread of the message, laboring in Bible work in San Francisco, California. When workers were needed to assist in opening new fields in the regions beyond, Sister Hurd, with two other lady workers, responded to the call to go to London, England. And there she remained until she saw a good strong church of believers organized in that city. In 1892 she was called to assist in the work in South Africa. After spending five years there, she went to Australia, and on February 24, 1897, she was married to Elder Stephen N. Haskell. With Elder Haskell, who had labored many years in the cause of God, she united her energies for even more vigorous labor; and for a number of years she devoted her strength to assist in the work in Australia. With her husband, Sister Haskell returned to America in August, 1899, and from that time until her last illness, her life consisted in the most strenuous activity in the cause of God. In June, 1902, The Bible Training School was born. Many earnest and arduous hours of labor were devoted to this magazine by Sister Haskell. Thousands of these magazines were used for work in India, and tens of thousands were devoted to the interests of the blind people; until today, through the faithful labors of Elder and Mrs. Haskell, nearly ten thousand dollars' worth of books have been placed in the libraries of this country for the blind people. Sister Haskell was a great aid to Elder Haskell during the twenty-two years of their united labors. She was a spiritual tower of strength to him in his work. She was very unselfish to see that, although Elder Haskell had spent nearly seventy years of his life in an active manner in this cause, he should accomplish the most for God's cause in every way possible. Sister Haskell returned to South Lancaster July 7, this year, and on the fifteenth of the month was taken ill. Soon afterward the writer was called upon by Elder Haskell to engage in prayer for her. The Lord heard the prayers of his servants, and she seemed to improve at once. However, it was thought advisable for the X-ray to determine just what might be the real trouble ; so it was decided that she go to the New England Sanitarium for rest and treatment. After a few days at the sanitarium, she was taken very ill, and it seemed advisable to have an operation immediately. As a result, it was evident that if Sister Haskell's life were prolonged, it would be because of God himself interposing in her behalf. In response to the earnest prayers of God's people, she felt that she was improving; for the Lord had given her so many unmistakable evidences of his love and care that it seemed to all that God was working in her behalf. However, she was fully resigned to the will of the Lord; for, with her husband, she wished God's will to be done. Monday evening, October 20, she entered into a state of coma from which she never recovered; and peacefully passed away Tuesday morning, October 21, at 9:25, unconscious of pain or suffering. Like a faithful and tired servant who was lovingly devoted to her Master for more than half a century, she fell asleep in Jesus to rest until he shall call her forth from her resting place. The funeral services took place on Friday, October 24, in the South Lancaster church. There was a large congregation present. The students of Lancaster Junior College attended in a body. The sermon was given by Elder A. G. Daniells, president of the General Conference, and he was assisted by Elders Bicknell, Olsen, and Prenier and the writer. She was laid to rest in the. Eastwood Cemetery, not far from the village of South Lancaster. Sister Haskell at the time of her death was 62 years, 8 months, and 28 days old. She leaves to mourn their loss, her husband, Elder S. N. Haskell, two sisters in California, one brother, many friends, and a large number of brethren and sisters in Christ who will miss her ministry and loving service. While it seems hard to understand why certain things occur in God's cause when workers are so much needed, we may have the sweetest assurance that God doeth all things well. If faithful we shall meet her in the resurrection morning.
