According to an oral account given by his daughter Susan Haskell Harrel
My father came to Birmingham as a mining engineer, successfully courted and married the beautiful and popular Susie Howze. They went immediately to Honduras where his father, Col. Haskell, had an interest in a gold mine. They stayed a year, found the mine unproductive, and came home. He worked in Birmingham for a time, and then moved to southwest Virginia; then to Mineral, Virginia; from there to Columbia, Tennessee where he died in 1931.
