January 8, 1926
Mrs. Elizabeth H. Haskell (nee Ames) passed away in her sleep on Dec. 26, 1925. Mrs. Haskell was b. in Machias, Nov. 8, 1842, the youngest of 12 children. She was the wife of the late Payson Haskell and leaves two sons, Henry S. of Sunset and George E. of Lynn, two step-daughters, Sabina Moody of Salisbury, Mass., and Mary Gonnam of Phila., seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren, besides many nephews and nieces, to mourn her loss. Mrs. H. joined the first Congr. Church many years ago and was one of the pioneer workers in the forming of the Sunset church. She was also a member of long standing of the Martha Washington Society. Aunt Lizzie has been a great worker in her day and a welcome visitor to the sick, while many babies on Deer Isle have been ushered into the world through her tender ministrations. She was always interested in the topics of the day and summer visitors and neighbors alike enjoyed many pleasant chats with her. She will be missed in Sunset, having been one of its oldest residents.
