Obituary - Joel Haskins

Joel Haskins was born in St. Lawrence county, N.Y., April 8, 1833. The family moved to Illinois and later to Wisconsin. In 1874 he brought his family to Jewell county, Kansas, and settled on a homestead near Randall. He lived on this farm and in Randall until this summer, when attacked by his fatal illness when he was taken to Jewell to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Young.

In 1861 he was united in marriageg to Susan Mitchell, and to them were born three sons and two daughters, one of whom died in infancy.

He served during the civil war in the 18th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Co. "H".

When about twenty years of age he was converted and joined the United Brethren church and later joined the Methodist church, reamining in this faith until his death at the home of his daughter in Jewell, Monday, December 26, 1910.

Dr. Haskins, as he was known to all because of his power as a magnetic healer, was a man of honor, honesty and generosity; a big hearted man, above sham and trickery.

Funeral services were held at the Methodist church here Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Baker of Jewell. He was laid to rest in the Randall cemetery, by the side of his wife, who died July 12, 1907.

Daniel Hazleton, Knox County, number 11
Garvis Hazleton, Knox County, number 680

Gervase & Daniel Hazelton were the 2nd settlers in Gibson county, Indiana after John Severns, who settled about 1789. Gervase established a ferry on the White River, was a prominent citizen and headed a large family.
[History of Gibson County, Indiana]
A ferry license was issued by William H. Harrison in 1804 to Gervase Hazleton.

Gervase left his father in charge of his properties and went to Wabash county, Illinois in 1814. He had been instrumental in bringing a large group of relatives and friends from New York State to found a town "Palmyra" on the west bank of the Wabash River.

The first county court was held in Gervase's residence on Monday, January 23, 1815. The first order of the court was for the establishment of a ferry from the town of Palmyra across the Wabash river to the opposite shore, in the name of Hazleton & Co. He was the 3rd County Clerk of Edwards county from 1821 to 1828. He was a member of the legislature and an auctioneer, and as early as 1816, he was a justice of the peace. He also operated a horse-mill on his place.

The town of Palmyra was created on 22 April 1815 by joint act of: Seth Gard, Peter Keen, Gervase Hazleton, Levi Compton and John Waggoner. Known as Seth Gard & Co.

Palmyra proved a lucarative thing financially but the terrain was swampy and so unhealthy that soon after Gervase's death in 1844 it was abandone

Surviving was his wife and three sons, Gervase, David and Daniel. The death of his wife soon after his own left the estate divided between the three sons. Presumably, Daniel was granted most of the Illinois holdings and Gervase and David shared the Hazleton, Indiana properties.

Death: 1844 Palmyra, Wabash, IL

Burial: Hazelton Cemetery, Wabash, IL

Death: 1817 Wabash Co., IL

Note: Gervase owned a saw mill in Hazleton, Gibson, IN. He also kept a ferry on the White River in Gibson, IN and was a well-known pioneer. Hazelton, Gibson, IN was named in his honor.

Gervase was the 2nd white settler in Gibson County. He first lived in a "camp" - the back of which was an immense walnut log and sides of poles covered with bark, the front open to admit the heat and light of large log fires. He was famed far and wide as an entertainer and his camp was always open to the struggling settlers.
