Photograph dated September 20, 1907 of the three Haskell children of Herman Adelbert Haskell and Phoebe M. (Smart) Haskell of Milo, Maine.
The photograph measures about 5-1/2" by 4"; matted, it's about 8" by 6". The children:
- Frances Haskell, age 3 years. I believe it was Edythe Frances Haskell who was born at Brownville Junction, Maine, on September 3, 1904
- Mervin Haskell, age 16 months; Herman Mervin Haskell was born at Seboeis, Maine, on May 27, 1906
- Una May Haskell, age 3 months - there's a birth record indexed as Alma Mae Haskell, born at Seboeis, Maine, on June 20, 1907, but on close inspection of the original record, the name is Una Mae.
The photograph was apparently intended to be given to Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Haskell. I'm not sure if the intended Lorenzo Haskell was Herman's father Samuel Lorenzo Haskell or Herman's older brother Lorenzo Haskell.
Herman Adelbert Haskell was born April 16, 1880 at Lagrange, Maine, son of Samuel Lorenzo Haskell and Lucy (Mason) Haskell. On October 25, 1903, Herman married Phoebe Mae Smart, daughter of Llewellyn B. Smart and Emma F. (Sargisson) Smart. Phoebe was born about August 1881 in Maine. At the time of their marriage, Herman was a mason and Phoebe was a schoolteacher.
Herman and Phoebe had more children after this photograph was taken. Several members of the Haskell family are buried in the Seboeis Cemetery at Seboeis, Maine.
