We sincerely regret the death of MRS. ETHEL MARY CHURCHILL HASKELL who passed peacefully 16th June 1993, aged 98 years, at Inverleagh Road, Southbourne, Bournemouth, Dorset, UK. She was the wife of Charles Frederick Haskell of Christchurch described in your newsletter, Vol I, No 6 of October 1992.
The funeral at Bromsgrove parish church, St Mary the Virgin was attended by her sister Mabel 97 years young, sons Gilbert, Bob, Fred, Jack, Jim and Elizabeth Haskell, all other family members, grandchildren and numerous family friends.
Following the service she was laid to rest beside her husband in Bransgore churchyard and the way led past the old home where she brought her family into the world and raised them to be fine outstanding citizens. The procession slowed in passing in memoriam and respect.
Philip Norman, a descendant reports that when James moved to Sharnbrook, he had his carts painted, and the sign writer crossed the ll's. Thereafter he was known as Haskett.
