Page 487

ENOCH HASKELL born in Freeport, August 17, 1772, ancestor of a large family of sons, daughters and grandchildren born nearly all in Harrison, was one of the early settlers in Otisfield, near Crooked River. His first dwelling was near the home of the late Ireson Green, in the village of Bolster's Mills. He afterward moved across the river and located a home near the foot of the Jumper hill, where he continued to live many years. He married Mehitable Sweat of Gorham, and settled a while near Little Falls, in Windham. They came to Harrison about 1812, bringing a family of young children. All their later children were born here.

"Uncle" Enoch Haskell possessed an endowment of great physical power and energy - in common phrase, an "iron" constitution. His wife, Mehitable, deceased in 1849. Mr. Haskell lived to the age of ninety-four years, five months, residing the last sixteen years of his life in the family of his son, Enoch, at Caswell's Corner. He was so vigorous and fond of exercising his muscular strength that he was wont to display his skill at mowing, chopping and in other work, when past his ninetieth year. He was as spry as a boy to work, when he was very old. He was of pleasant manners and devoted to his home and kindred. It is not known that he ever belonged to any church, but he was a man of upright life and genuine integrity of character. He deceased January 17, 1867, in Harrison.
