Note: Frank Haskins was born in Iowa May 1, 1845. He grew up them helping with the farming and dairying. He married Rosetta Quimby, born in Michigan on Dec. 15,1847.
To this union three daughters and five sons were born Zora (Mrs. John Martin); Alice (Mrs. Arthur Jefferson); Viretta (Mrs. Melvin Osborn); Burt; Walter; Lester: Jess and Fred.
In the spring of 1893, the Frank Haskins family came to North Dakota to buy some land and establish a new home. The land they purchased was east of Page, now owned by Marion Conrad. The house and barn built at that time were just recently demolished.
Like many of the early settlers here, they experienced some hard times such as droughts, hauling water for the livestock, prairie fires and hoards of grasshoppers. But there were also good times. With five growing boys, them was lots of excitement. Besides playing baseball, they loved to wrestle and box.
The three oldest boys attended college at the AC in Fargo (now NDSU). Burt received a degree in Veterinary Science. Walter and Lester farmed. Jess was in the military service and later farmed. Fred passed away with diphtheria at the age of 17 years.
Mr. Haskins continued to live on the farm for some time after his wife's death in 1904. He lived with his daughter, Zora, for several years before passing away in 1911,

Note: Chloe Ann VANDERHOOF was born in the MEACHAM cabin in Harris Grove, Jan. 25, 1857. She has resided for sixty-four years in and near the Grove, with the exception of about twelve years. She received her education in the district schools and always took an active part in the social events and other entertainments that were beneficial to the neighborhood in which she lived. She was united in marriage to George HASKINS by J. L. BEEBEE at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob VANDERHOOF, Nov. 15, 1877. Mr. HASKINS was born in Cass County, Michigan, April 10, 1852, and came to the Grove September 4, 1866, with his father, Alex HASKINS. His mother died when he was five years old. He received the common school education similar to that received by farmer's sons. He worked by the month, and rented land for a share of the crop.
After their marriage they moved to a home in Sec. 30, Union Township, and by selling this farm in 1880 built a home in SE 1/4 SE 1/4 Sec. 23, LaGrange Township. Disposing of this in 1884, they moved to a homestead near Lone Pine, Nebraska, and selling this returned and bought the former place in Sec. 23, LaGrange, in 1887. This house burned in 1894, and soon after rebuilding they sold this and bought a farm in Sec. 28, Jefferson Township, where they lived for ten years, when they sold and moved to the Wm. PETT farm in LaGrange Township. In 1909 they sold this and moved to Defiance in Shelby County, Iowa. Mrs. HASKINS becoming owner of a portion of her father's estate, they returned to the Grove in 1918, and are now living in that good old home. Mr. and Mrs. HASKINS have the honor of having been members of the Elk Grove, and Harris Grove Farmers' Clubs.
