A Brief Biography of Hon

An Article Written by One who Has

Forty Odd Years

governor of the new state and

sound just natural to say CN Has-
kell we always called him Cbar-
ey among our home folks Away
back in the ’60s when I was a
young man teaching school and
getting ready to practice medi-
cine about what is now called
West Leipsic then the only Leip-
sic ay the new town was just
starting and was then a cleared
patch of forty acres in the back
woods the Haskell family con-
sisting of the father mother and
five children of whom Charley
was next to the youngest were
one of the pioneer families es-
tablished in this vicinity before
the war
George Haskell Charley’s
father was a cooper by trade
but died in 1863 leaving the
mother with five young children
with no support except the
mother and Reual Haskell the
oldest boy then about a dozen
years of age The mother was
one of the most courageous
women I ever knew it was only
ter untiring energy and deter-
mination that enabled her to
keep her children together and
give them an opportunity for a
common school education! but
tier constant effort and desire
was devoted to the welfare of
her children and she kept them
together until they became old
enough to relieve her to some ex-
tent by beginning their own sup-
port and as they grew still older
to aid her in the support of the
amily
‘I remember that as
young man I took part in the
conducting of the Presbpterian
Sunday school in the village anc
that Charley was in the first
class of which I was teacher
When he was about nine years
old he went to work for an ac
quaintance of mine by the name
of Miller on a farm six or seven
miles from town where he farm
ed until he was just about 21
years of age The last two or
three years on the farm he had
taught school in the Medary dis-
trict and Oakdale district near
here also the village school in
his native town the original
Leipsic While teaching school
he devoted the nights to reading
law I used to see him Saturday
afternoons passing back and
forth on his way to the law office
ot Barr & Werner to whom he
recited his law lessons I was
always interested in the Haskell
children because of the high es-
teem in which Charley’s mother
was held by all our neighbors
and we all encouraged them and
lelped them in every respect
As far back as I
