Oskosh, Wis., Nov. 12 � The 90th birthday of Barna Haskell, believed to e the oldest resident of Winnebago county, and certainly one of its pioneer settlers, was marked today by a reception at the family homestead in West Algona, that was attended from far and near. Mr. Haskell is a native of Franklin county, Mass., and was born Nov. 12, 1806, of English parents. He was reared on a farm in Franklin county and secured a common school education in the country schools. After reaching his 21st year he left the farm and entered a woolen factory at Greenfield, Franklin county. He subsequently worked in woolen mills in Worcester county and then at Pittsfield, Berkshire county. In 1834 he came west ti Illinois and in February 1846 came to Winnebago county following an Indian trail from Rosendale, Fond du Lac county, to Lake Butte des Morts. He entered piece of land near the village of Omro and built a log house and on May 2 his family arrived. He lived on the farm until August, 1854, when the family removed to what is now Oshkosh. At that time there were not to exceed  a dozen or so of the houses on the present site of the city and there was but one store in the place. In March 1856, Mr. Haskell was appointed treasurer of Winnebago county to fill an unexpired term of Jonathan Daugherty. In the fall of the same year he was elected to the office for two years.

He was deputy collector od internal revenue for Winnebago county from the fall of 1863 to 1868. He has also been officially connected with other offices of minor nature.  He was married Aug. 12, 1834 to Louisa M. Bealls of Berkshire county, Mass., who was born in 1817, is still living. They have had seven children, of whom five are living. Mrs. Samuel Gary, Spokane, Wash.;  Mrs. Luke Livingston, Vermont; Mrs. George Adams and Miss Alfarreta Haskell of this city and Alvin Haskell of Milwaukee.

Mr. Haskell cast his first vote in 1823 for John Quincy Adams, of the party which afterwards took the name of the Republican party. There have been twenty president elections since Mr. Haskell became of age and of this number he has voted in nineteen of them only missing one in 18609 when Lincoln was elected, due to his absence from home Twelve of the nineteen nominees were elected to the presidency. At the recent election, Mr. Haskell walked to the Twelfth ward bolls, three wuarters of a mile distant from his home, and voted a straight Republican ticket. Two years ago at the time of the city election, the party managers sent a carriage to convey Mr. Haskell to the polls, and the pioneer was greatly offended as he is able to walk long distances without much concern.
