w. p. HASKELL
of Monmouth. Devoted to His
Journal

Manchester. Me, Aug. 17.-When
W. L. Haskell of Manchester, was
asked by the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity Bureau of Longevity, why he eX-
planned his 95 years of hale and
hearty living. Mr.. Haskell could not
give them any reason, except that
he has always had regular habits,
never uses alcoholics in any form,
never smokes and has always kept
more or less busy. And even at that,
who would ask for better rea-
son?
Mr.. Haskell is devoted to his Ken
nebec journal and his day is not
right unless he is able to sit down
and read the news. He doesn't de-
vote his time to any special section
of the paper, but finds keenest in
terest in all parts of the news. He
is a very strong Republican, what
might be termed a stand patter.' not
even changing his policy to vote for
his son n-law, member of another
party, when he ran for town Of
flee.
In his past life, this grand old man
has held many town offices in his
home town, West Gardiner. He was
town clerk for over 40 years; post
master and first selectman as well for
good many years. He was men,
Der of the Maine House of Repre-
sentatives. during the time Governor
Burleigh. Governor Robbie and Gov
ernor Cleaves were there.
He married Helen Burns of Farm
ingdale, who passed away about 80
years ago There are three daugh-
ters. Mrs. ]. T. Collins. with whom he
makes his home, Miss Grace Haskell
of Everett, Mass, and Mrs. Percy
Wing of Augusta. There are also
grandchildren in the Collins family.
The Universalist church is the church
which he attends.
His father was the late Captain
Haskell, who followed the sea for
many years and like a good many
other pioneers, settled far inland,
away from the roar of the ocean. His
father was one of the early settlers
of West Gardiner. He went there
from Newburyport. His mother,
Mary Haskell. went from Newbury-
port to Hallowell and from there,
rode on horse back, a distance of 1O6
miles or so, to the future Haskell
home. At the time, that was con-
sidered quite feat and she had the
distincting of being the first woman
to ride that distance on horse back.
One Of the most interested specta-
tors at the Republican rally, last fall
was Mr.. Haskell. He sat on the
platform in company with Governor
Baxter and other dignatories of the
event.
