  • Freeman Haskell:
    • In 1823, Freeman Haskell purchased from the Kilborns the entire water power of the canal, with the saw mill, grist mill and clothier’s works, and built a linseed-oil mill. He began with good prospects, but was unfortunately killed by falling against the saw in his mill. His arm was cut entirely off, and survived the accident but a few days. His brother, Sylvanus C. Haskell, succeeded him in the business, but soon after sold out and left the country.
