William R. HaskellNo man who claimed Garden City as his home became more intimately connected with its history, or who had a greater interest in the future growth of the town and its permanence than Mr. Haskell. His loyalty to the town never faltered up to the time of his death. He came here in 1882, representing an eastern banking company that contemplated the establishment of a bank in Garden City. He looked the field over and came to the conclusion that the field was sufficiently covered by the banks then in existence. But on the other side he saw the possibilities that the town presented for private enterprise and decided to remain and take a hand in the work of development, a work he continued to the very last of his days. His first venture in business and perhaps the best investment he ever made came when Buffalo Jones, needing a little money, deeded him lots 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 in Block B. Jones Addition for the small sum of $125. Upon this property in later years he erected a large swimming pool and skating rink, and still later built the modern and substatantial buildings occupied by the Traders and the Hughes Motor Company. The Jake Shoop building also occupies a part of the same property. Another of his enterprises was the erection of the big warehouse that until recently stood in the rear of the Dillon building. His venture in the building line was when he joined with Squire Pearce in the erection of the Grant block on Eighth street. From then on we find him building several residences and financing them in building homes. He was among the first to raise sweet clover in the county and to prove its many advantages to the farmer in restoring fertility to the soil as well as to provide a profitable crop. There was not a day during his long life in Garden City that he was not engaged in some enterprise that would benefit the community. In the stress of hard times and depressions if some of his enterprises faced failure, he never lost faith in thr future of Garden City. When his efforts proved successful he was satisfied and used any profits he made in future activity.
Mr. Haskell was born in Maine, the paradise of the true bellied Yankee and reared among a people noted for their parsimonious, grasping dispositions, intolerant of everything that did not meet their conceptions of how every affair of life should be conducted. The early years of his life were spent in Connecticut and Massachusetts in surroundings that might have made him a Yankee of the Yankees, but he was too broad minded, too unselfish in disposition, too liberal in his views to adopt the ways of people who surrounded him. The west broadened him and led him to recognize that others had rights the same as himself. There was never a more generous man and never failed to lend a helping hand to those who went to him for assistance. Often his confidence was betrayed, but he never lost faith in the inate honesty of people in general.
