In politics he was a Democrat. During the war Mr. Haskins took the side of the Union. His children, grandchildren and his great grandchildren, so far as known amount to the surprising number of two hundred and twenty-six. Grandpa Haskins was an honest man to the fullest sense of the word. He was a man possesing more than ordinary intelligence and of strong convictions; he wasa a consistent member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church for 30 years and the last four years he lived he did little else but read the Bible and talk to his neighbors on religion. He knew the Bible so well that he could repeat almost every chapter and verse in the new Testament. He leaves behind him many loving friends and neighbors.
