In that responsible position he served as "turnkey" for thirty years until October 1, 1899. On March 4, 1885, he was severely injured by a desperate prisoner in an effort to prevent his escape from prison. Officer Seavey's injuries disabled him from attending to his duties till the end of the year.

HASKELL FAMILY.
ENOCH HASKELL born in Freeport, August 17, 1772, ancestor of a large family of sons, daughters and grand- children born nearly all in Harrison, was one of the early settlers in Otisfield, near Crooked River. His first dwell- ing was near the home of the late Ireson Green, in the vil- lage of Bolster's Mills. He afterward moved across the river and located a home near the foot of the Jumper hill, where he continued to live many years. He married Me- hitable Sweat of Gorham, and settled a while near Little Falls, in Windham. They came to Harrison about 1812, bringing a family of young children. All their later children were born here.
"Uncle" Enoch Haskell possessed an endowment of great physical power and energy - in common phrase, an "iron" constitution. His wife, Mehitable, deceased in 1849. Mr. Haskell lived to the age of ninety-four years, five months, residing the last sixteen years of his life in the family of his son, Enoch, at Caswell's Corner. He was so vigorous and fond of exercising his muscular strength that he was wont to display his skill at mowing, chopping and in other work, when past his ninetieth year. He was as spry as a boy to work, when he was very old. He was of pleasant manners and devoted to his home and kindred. It is not known that he ever belonged to any church, but he was a man of upright life and genuine integrity of character. He deceased January 17, 1867, in Harrison. The children of Enoch and Mehitable (Sweat) Haskell were:
SIMEON, b. Apr. 20, 1796; married Polly, daughter of Nephtali Harmon 2d, Dec. 20, 1819. She was born July 15, 1801. They settled and lived many years near Bol- ster's Mills. Mr. Haskell was a millman, and operated the saw mill for a long time in the "thirties" and "forties," for Daniel Weston, the owner. Later he moved to a farm on the plains about a mile north of the village on the Norway road and died there. Their children were:

I. Mehitable S., b. June 15, 1821; married Ora Hicks of Harrison and lived in North Harrison on a farm the remainder of their lives. They had two chil- dren; a son, George W., who was a soldier in the United States regular army, also for years, a member of the police force of Boston. He died in Wash- ington, D. C., in January, 1890. A daughter of Ora and wife, Hannah Elizabeth, married --- Kim- ball, and lives in Massachusetts.

Mrs. Rosilla Caswell Haskell died April 7, 18 -. Mr. Haskell married, second, Susan Florence Tuttle of Harri- son. Mr. Henry Haskell of Harrison Village in his eighty- fourth year is one of the oldest native citizens residing here, retains a good degree of physical vigor and his memories of the events of at least eighty years past in Harrison, are very vivid. He was the first to strike a blow in April, 1847, in bushwhacking a road for the passage of an ox- team to the site of the saw mill on Carsley's Falls, which was erected the same year by W. C. Barrows; since known as "Scribner's Mills." It is something for self appreciation to have been a pioneer.
4. Caroline C., b. June 26, 1827; married Henry S. Turner of Otisfield, who died -. She married 2d, Cyrus Brett of Otisfield, Dec. 10, 1892. She died Mar. 18, 1894.
