Marriage Notes for Edward Payson Haskell and Julia Emeline Towne
MARRIAGE: Enfield was a small, largely rural community located on the Swift River. While a bustling town early in the 19th century, by century's end economic opportunity had largely passed by the valley. During the last decade of the century and into the next, discussion began and continued regarding the flooding of the Swift River to create a reservoir to meet the water needs of the Greater Boston area. When the decision to follow this plan was made, Enfield was one of the "lost towns" whose residents dispersed and whose homes and history disappeared beneath the waters of what is now Quabbin Reservoir.
Ira Dexter Haskell was a merchant.
