_____Find-a-Grave
A VICTIM OF THE SINO-JAPANESE WAR.Lionel Haskell was a twenty-three year old messboy (kitchen helper) on board the Dollar Steamship Line's transpacific ocean liner President Hoover.
On August 30, 1937 the President Hoover was at anchor in the Yangtze River near Shanghai, China when she was attacked by a group of Chinese warplanes that had mistaken the ship for the Japanese liner Asama Maru. This was during the Sino-Japanese War. Like many on board the ship, Haskell had rushed to the open decks to see what was happening and struck by in the stomach by flying shrapnel which left him severely wounded. Haskell succumbed to his injuries on August 31, 1937 as the President Hoover sailing at full speed between Shanghai, China and Kobe, Japan. He was embalmed in Kobe and then returned to the President Hoover for the trip back to San Francisco. Passengers on board the ship visited his coffin and brought the unfortunate young man flowers and even took up donations for his family. Upon the arrival of the President Hoover in San Francisco on September 15, 1937 Haskell's coffin was carried off the ship by six of his fellow crewmen to a waiting hearse were he was then taken to the Cypress Lawn Cemetery. His head stone was paid for by the donations of the President Hoover's crew.

It is with great sadness we must report the passing of Andrew John Haskell of Dinton, Wilts., UK on 24th September 1993. Born in 1917 at Mannington, Dorset, son of Wesley and Eliza Susannah Morgan Haskell, he was the grandson of long time groom and gardener to Lord Salisbury, our Hon Patron J. Charles Haskell of Cranborne and his wife Ann Perry who died 30 March 1882. Andrew was our first family contact in the UK, now many years ago, and the first member of our one name society when he still resided at Donhead St. Andrew, Wilts. He and his older sister Winnie Haskell Green of Ringwood contributed enormously to our family history and a summary chart of the family appeared on page 7. Vol. I, No. 4, April/May 1992 issue of your newsletter. Andrew married Joan Clark in 1951 and she survives him. Through a long illness borne with patience and humour, bedridden the last two months, his passing was peaceful; he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
