Volume 7, No. 4, December 1998Brigadier General Joseph Theodore Haskell was born 1838 in Cincinnati, Ohio, son of Daniel Noyes Haskell, formerly of Newburyport, Massachusetts.
On 12 March 1860 Joseph 7 married Rida Barron Sumwalt in Cincinnati. On 19 February 1863 he was mustered into the Union Army's 13th Corps at Carollton, Louisiana, and from 24 August 1864 to 8 November 1866 he was retained as subsistence stores officer in the Commissary of Subsistence at New Orleans. During his tenure he was promoted successively to major, lieutenant colonel and colonel on the basis of exceptionally meritorious service. Discharged on 8 December 1866, Colonel Haskell was recalled to active duty in 1892, well before the outbreak of the Spanish American War. In 1898 he was promoted to brigadier general and placed in command of the 17th U. S. Regular Infantry, who embarked from Florida with the Cuban Expeditionary Force.
At the Battle of El Caney, Brigadier General Haskell was severely wounded by Mauser bullets in the left shoulder, lung, and right knee. He was invalided home to Columbus, Ohio, in August 1898 and began to recover, although the shoulder wound had paralyzed his left arm and hand.
The 17th U. S. Regular Infantry returned to Columbus on 16 September in the same year, and General Haskell went to greet his men, riding through the streets in a flower decked carriage amid cheering throngs to lead his regiment to the Columbus post.
In the afternoon a Captain Clay called at the Haskell home to pay his respects and during the conversation the general suddenly collapsed, lifeless. Post Surgeon Pilcher confirmed apoplexy had caused General Haskell's unexpected death.

November 7, 1899William P. Haskell, the fireman who was killed by the overturning of his engine as stated in our dispatches yesterday, was raised in San Jose. His father Dan N. Haskell was elected Chief of Police here in 1878 and served four years. Mr. and Mrs. Haskell had their first great bereavement in this city in the death of their only daughter, and now their son and only remaining child has been taken from them in a shocking manner. After leaving San Jose, Mr. Haskell earned an enviable reputation for efficiency as a messenger for Wells Fargo and Company. While engaged in this service he was recalled to San Jose and served as Under Sheriff during the term of Sheriff McDougall.
The accident which killed Haskell occurred Sunday night at midnight near Redding. His fireman, George Dodge, was painfully but not fatally injured. Sunday was the thirtieth, anniversary of his birth, and just before starting on the fatal trip he received some pleasant remembrances of the day from his parents. The funeral was held at Redding today, where Mr. and Mrs. Haskell now reside. Deceased was not married.

November 6, 1899Wm P. Haskell, an engineer on the Iron Mountain Railway, met with death in a terrible manner near midnight Sunday. His engine and four cars jumped the track and rolled down the grade. Haskell was caught in the wreck and his body was cut into four parts and crushed beyond recognition. His fireman, George Dodge, was painfully although not seriously injured.
At the time of the accident Haskell was backing the four cars into a switch just above Keswich. The conductor and brakeman got off the train to attend the switch. When near the side track, from some unknown cause the engine jumped the track. The four cars followed piling on top of the engine at the foot of the grade. The unfortunate engineer must have been instantly killed. He was unmarried. Sunday was the thirtieth anniversary of his birth, and just before starting on the fatal trip he received some pleasant remembrances of the day from his parents. The funeral has been set for Tuesday.
