WEEKLY
Obituary.
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.
