Haskell Obituary:
Great Falls (MT) Tribune, 12 March 1921, Page 2:
Helena, March 11. -- Henry J. Haskell, member of the seventeenth
legislative assembly, first attorney general of Montana, member of
the constitutional convention of 1889 and a veteran of the civil
war, died Friday morning in Glendive. Word of his death was received
here by Speaker Gibson of the house of representatives. Henry J.
Haskell was born in Palmyra, Somerset, Maine, July 20, 1843. General
Haskell was among the oldest members of the Masonic bodies in
Montana. In 1868 he joined the Medician (sic, Meridian) lodge No. 32
A. F. & A. M., at Pittsfield, Maine and in 1885 became a charter
member of the Glendive lodge No. 31, A. F. & A. M. and was past
master of that lodge also. He was also identified with Yellowstone
Chapter No. 5, R. A. M. at Glendive of which he was past high
priest; Damascus commandery No. 4, K. T. of which he was past
eminent commander and Algeria Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S. of Helena,
and chapter No. 5 O. E. S. He was married in June 1883 to Miss
Nellie Towle, native of Enfield, N. H. There were two children, both
of whom died. When Mr. Haskell was Republican candidate for attorney
general in 1892 he was opposed by Miss Ella Knowles, candidate of
the People's party, and defeated her. In 1895 they were married.
Mrs. Haskell, who died in 1910 (sic, 1911), was for many years one
of the best known woman lawyers in the United States. She practiced
both in Butte and Helena. (They later divorced.)
