Notes from Stan Haskell
My grandmother, Aseneth Maria Smith Haskell lived till 1930 on Grey Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I visited her there about that time and remember it well. I marvel about remembering visiting a woman that was born in 1845!

Notes from Stan Haskell
Robert Francis Haskell, my uncle, was living with Aseneth when she died. He lived with our family for a while and later he lived, alone, on Austin Street in Cambridge in a rooming house till his last days.
I was with him at the Cambridge City Hospital when he died. His life was sad. He was within months of graduating from MIT with a degree in architecture when he left. He was a gifted artist the rest of his life but died living on public assistance.
