ROBERT C. HASKELL, ’08. Robert C. Haskell, ’58, died at his home in Lansingburg, N. ¥., week before last, at the age of sixty-two. He was gradu- ated from Yale in 1858, and was immedi- ately appointed professor of mathemat- ics in Oahu College, Honolulu. Among his pupils there was David Kalakaua, afterward King of the Hawaiian Islands. In 1860 Mr. Haskell returned to this coun- try and engaged in the manufacture of oilelothing at Lansingburg. In July, 1861, he received the degree of M. A. from Yale. He was largely influential in build- ing of the school system in Lansingburg, and established the kindergarten there. He was a trustee of the Langsingburg Academy, of the Emma Willard Semi- nary, and of the Hampton Institute, Vir- ginia. He was stricken with paralysis in 1895 and never fully recovered. Mr.Has- kell was married to Sarah H. Parmelee in 1868. Their only child, born in 1865, died in infancy. PRESTON THORNTON, EX. 793. The death of Preston Thornton, ex-’93, occurred at the home of Mr. Milton H. Smith in Louisville, Ky., on Tuesday, May 18, from the effects of a self-inflicted bullet wound. He was born in Lexing- ton, Ky., twenty-six years ago and was prepared for college at the public schools of that place. He entered Yale with the class of 798, but left it in his Junior year to go to the University of Virginia, where he graduated later. He then returned to his home and entered the service of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad... His abil- ities were so pronounced that he rose rapidly in the estimation of those above him and was recently promoted to the position of contracting freight agent, which is one of the most responsible on the road. Mr. Thornton was the son of Col. R. A. Thornton, a prominent lawyer of Lex- ington and a recognized authority at the kentucky bar. —_——__++—____ Reunion of °72 8.
