Book Title: History Of Durham, Maine

HASCALL.

   Although not originally a Durham family yet for many years the Hascalls have
been so largely identified with the best interests of the town, it seems fitting
that a sketch of the family should be inserted here. Their progenitor, William
Hascall, settled in Gloucester, Mass., about the middle of the 17th century, and
from this place shoots from the family tree were transplanted into various parts
of the country. Rev. Daniel Hascall, the father of Laurin, William, and Ralph,
and their sister Mrs. E. P. Shailer, formerly of Portland, was born in
Connecticut, but in early life went to New York State, where he was pastor of
various Baptist Churches and was also largely instrumental in founding what is
now known as Colgate University at Hamilton. William C. and Ralph H., his sons,
made their home in Vermont until the year 1862, when they both moved to Durham.
William purchased the old Jonathan C. Merrill place in the village. Ralph
purchased the Secomb Jordan place adjoining William's. Laurin, after a long
experience in New York and the West as an educator, came to Durham to spend his
last days. He died in 1897 (?) Ralph H. and Celia Hascall had three children.
The youngest died in boyhood; Frank resides in Durham, and Mary is the wife of
Prof. E. W. Hall of Colby University. William C. and Finette had five sons: Of
these Charles D. and James A. married in Vermont but settled in Durham. Charles
afterward moved to Oregon, where he now resides. George H. married (1) a
daughter of Richard Dyer, (2) a daughter of James Newell. He purchased the
Jordan Dingley place on which he still resides. The next son, William H. Shailer
went as a missionary to Burma in 1872 under the auspices of the A. B. Missionary
Union where he remained for about eight years. He there married Miss Emma A.
Chace, who had gone to Burma as a missionary of the Baptist Woman's Board. After
they returned to this country they were for a time in Farmington, Me., he having
the pastoral care of the Baptist Church in that village. When their health would
permit they returned again to Burma where they remained about five years'. After
returning to America the second time they resided in Fall River, Mass., where he
was assistant pastor of the First Baptist Church for over six years. They are
now living in Dover, N. H., where he is pastor of the Central Ave. Baptist
Church. R. Judson, the youngest of the five sons, married Rose, the daughter of
George Nichols. He resided for a time in Durham and Auburn but is now engaged in
business in Woodstock, N. B. Both Celia and Finette have entered into rest. The
latter died 11 May 1886, aged 70 yrs. 3 mos. William C. married (2) Emily Knight.
