Tombstone Tuesday - Charles Alfred Haskell Cemetery Plot

Cemetery: Evergreen Cemetery, Portland, Cumberland County, Maine
Photo Date: 13 November 2010
Subject Name: Charles Alfred Haskell Family Cemetery Plot
Location: Lot 171-172, Section U, Area 397

 There are six people buried in this plot, including Charles Alfred Haskell, his wife, Mary Sophia (Foye) Haskell, Louise F. Haskell, Nellie Marie Haskell, Dr. Alfred W. Haskell, and Julia M. Foye. Charles Alfred Haskell was the son of my great great grandfather Alfred Haskell and the brother of my great grandfather Frank Owen Haskell.

The large monument has "HASKELL" on the front and no other information on any of the other sides. The transcriptions of the small stones from left to right, are as follows:

JULIA M. FOYE/1855 - 1922
ALFRED W. HASKELL/1876 - 1951
NELLIE M. HASKELL/1876 - 1951
LOUISE F. HASKELL/1873 - 1962
MARY S. HASKELL/1846 - 1935
CHARLES A. HASKELL/1848 - 1931

Alfred W. and Louise F. Haskell were children of Charles A. and Mary S. Haskell. Julia M. Foye was the sister of Mary S. (Foye) Haskell. I'm not sure where Nellie M. Haskell fits in to the family. I have not found her living in the Charles A. Haskell household in the 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 or 1930 censuses.

Treasure Chest Thursday - Elizabeth Owen - Cross Stitch Sampler

Elizabeth Owen was b. 3 Mar 1819 daughter of Cotton and Lydia (Cotton) Owen. She m. Alfred Haskell 14 Dec 1844, presumably in Portland, Maine although I have not found the marriage record yet. Alfred and Elizabeth are my great-great grandparents. They lived in Portland, Cumberland County, Maine and both are buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Portland. Elizabeth d. 3 Sept 1888 at age 69 years 6 months.

She created this cross-stitch sampler at age 11 (ca 1830). As you can see the thread colors are quite faded from this piece being displayed in a sunny room for many years.
