His business abili- ties proved to be of the highest, and a large foreign trade was established, in addition to the already large home trade. In 1888 he be- came the head of the firm. His pleasing address and sterling character have won for him and for the firm an enviable international reputation. He has made many pleasant trips abroad, and has formed many friends in foreign countries. He married Mary H. Starr, of Deerfield, Massachusetts, daughter of A. C. Starr.

Blais- dell & Company, of which his brother Charles was the third partner. The business is now conducted by the two surviving partners, Charles and George Albert Blaisdell.

Most of the Haskins of New England trace their ancestry to him.

He worked at the trade of making gold chains until the breaking out of the civil war.

In politics he is a Republican, and served as a member of the Springfield city council in 1873-74. He is a member of Roswell Lee Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, and has held all the offices of the lodge up to master.

ple, Order of the Mystic Shrine, in all of. which he has held prominent office. Few men have had a wider circle of friends than he in business or in lodges. Though he was never a member of any church, he was brought up in Hope Church Sunday school, and always attended there, and served the church as treas- urer for two years. Many outside places of trust have been given him in recognition of his abilities as a business man and his integrity. He was a keen lover of sport in all forms, but rarely took the time away from the office to gratify his liking for it. During his long labor in the company, extending over a period of twenty-one years, he had given the helping hand to many a young man making a start in life, and will be held in grateful remembrance far beyond the limits of the city of Springfield. He married, June 26, 1895, Estelle Marie Wagner, born April 27, 1871, at Dunmore, Pennsylvania, daughter of Daniel and Mehit- able (Spencer) Wagner, granddaughter of Daniel and Charity (Silvernail) Wagner and Edward Spencer. Mr. Haskins died Decem- ber 9, 1904, at his home, 133 St. James ave- nue, Springfield, from a complication of diseases. The following notice was sent out by Mr. Phillips, vice-president of the Massa- chusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company : "It is my painful duty to announce the death of Mr. Harry W. Haskins, assistant secretary of the Company, which occurred last evening at his home in this city, after an illness of six months' duration. Mr. Haskins entered the service of the Company, as a boy, in 1883, after graduation from the Springfield high school, and step by step advanced to the posi- tion of auditor and assistant secretary, both of which he had filled for several years. Of unswerving honesty and integrity in both thought and act, loving and lovable in all his associations ; active, conscientious, and faith- ful in the discharge of every duty; his loss will be sadly and deeply felt, not only by the officers and employes of the Company, but also by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances."
