Mrs. Elizabeth Fall Haskell died at her home in this city Thursday morning, September 13, about 7 o'clock.
Mrs. Elizabeth Fall Haskell was born in Albion, Maine, December 11, 1830, and would have been 93 if she had lived until December. She was united in marriage with John R. Haskell in Holton Maine, and to this union two sons were born. Charles B. Haskell (deceased) and William R. Haskell of this city. She came to Garden City in 1894, and resided here ever since with the exception of a few years when she resided on a homestead in Kearney county.
She leaves to mourn her loss her son, two grandchildren, John J. Haskell of this city and Harold Haskell, of Hartford, Connecticut, and two great grandchildren, Joyce and Jackquelun Haskell of this city, besides a number of old friends and neighbors.
Mrs. Haskell was the oldest resident of this city and up to the very last retained all her faculties, taking an interest in everything concerning the town and nation.Her mind was clear and alert, and owing to her remarkable constitution and vitality, she but seldom needed medicine or a doctor, and that only in recent years, and when her time came she went peacefully to sleep and passed to the great beyond. On Monday, she took each member of her immediate family by the hand and bid them a silent farewell, no doubt realizing that her span of life was nearly run, and in her eyes was the look of love and kindliness that characterized her life.
Mrs. Haskell was quiet, and gentle, a woman who bore her sorrows with fortitude and Christian patience, and who drank deep in the joys that come to her, and the end was fitting of such a life, drifting out like a leaf on the quiet stream, without fear and with certainty of a glorious eternity.
