Tombstone--At 4 pm the funeral cortege of James Haskell, one 
of the oldest citizens and one who obeyed the laws of God and 
man, quietly wended its way to the cemetery.  James Haskell, 
an unmarried man, was this morning found dead in his cabin 
having died of rheumatism of the heart.  He was a plumber by 
trade and followed that calling here for many years and died 
a poor man but not without friends.  A prosperous merchant 
of this city, George H. Fitz and other friends saw to it 
that the funeral was one with all the modern equipments, 
embracing the choicest of flowers and evergreens covering 
the casket.

The pall bearers were of our best people and a long line of 
carriages, filling with sympathizing friends of both sexes.
