J. Clarke Publishing Co. (1918) Vol. II p. 502-503 EDWARD E. HASKELL, M. D. Dr. Edward E. Haskell, engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery in Windsor, was born in Nashville, Tennessee, in March, 1879, a son of Edward and Lenora (Lawson) Haskell, who were natives of Maine. The father was a lumberman who followed that business in northern Minnesota for a number of years. He passed away in May, 1896, but his widow is still living. Their son. Dr. Edward E. Haskell, was reared and educated in Minneapolis. He attended the high school and atterward continued his studies in the State University of Minnesota, from which he was graduated with the class of 1900. Later he became a student in the University of Colorado and completed his course as one of the alumni of 1913. He had come to Colorado in 1900 and was interested in mining for nine years, traveling all over the west in that connection. At length, however, he determined to take up the practice of medicine and surgery and with that end in view became a student in the medical department of the University of Colorado and completed his course as previously indicated. Following his graduation he opened an office in Windsor, Weld county, in 1913 and has practiced there continuously since. He was formerly a partner of Dr. Raymond but the latter ultimately retired from practice and in 1915 Dr. Haskell of this review entered into partnership with Dr. Nelson, with whom he has since been associated. They have their offices in the Windsor Hospital. Dr. Haskell is a man of recognized professional ability, keeping in touch at all times with the most advanced thought bearing upon the treatment of disease. He is very careful in the diagnosis of his cases and his skill has found public recognition in an extensive and growing practice. He belongs to the American Medical Association, the Colorado State Medical Society and the Weld County Medical Society. Aside from his practice he has mining interests in Wyoming. Dr. Haskell was united in marriage to Miss Lucille Naylor and to them have been born three children: Donald, Marjorie, and Isabelle. The parents hold membership in the Episcopal church and Dr. Haskell is identified also with the Knights of Pythias and the Woodmen of the World. His political endorsement is given to the republican party and he has served as town trustee for four years, while he and Dr. Nelson have continuously acted as health officers of Windsor. Dr. Haskell is very conscientious in the performance of all of his professional duties and is most careful to conform his practice to the highest professional standards.
