Newsletter of the International Haskell Family Society
Volume 13, No. 3, September 2004Ella Maria Haskell, daughter of Joseph M. and Sylvia A. (Pidge) Haskell, was born 26 Feb 1854 at Tiskilwa, Illinois, in a log cabin, where she spent her childhood. She later taught school in Creston, Iowa, where she met her future husband, Henry Kennedy Burket, a mortician.
By 1878 Ella and Henry had decided to marry, and Ella's brother, Henry A. Haskell, was living at 1424 North 18th Street, Omaha, Nebraska, with the position of foreman of the News Department of The Omaha Bee.
Since Ella's father and sister. Anna E. Haskell (b.17 Sept 1839), were also living in her brother's home, it seems perfectly natural that Ella Maria would choose to be married in Omaha. In fact in September 1878, she and Henry Burket were married in her brother's home. The newlyweds returned to Creston to live, but in February 1883 moved back to Omaha, where Henry continued his mortuary business.
On 17 Dec. 1922 Mr. Burket died in Omaha at age 72. His wife also died there, on 22 July 1929, at age 74. They have no known descendants. Sister Anna E. Haskell, a milliner and never married, died in Omaha on 16 Feb 1924, age 75.
