- Carlos F. Haskell:
- Son of Freeman Haskell, was five years old at the time of the death of his father. His mother, a woman of energy, had trained him in business habits; and at an early age, we find him engaged in trade, first as clerk, and afterwards as principal. He was cut down in the midst of his years, but not before he had laid down the foundation of a large fortune. He built the “Mammoth Store”, was succeeded in the business by C. H. Kathan. (p. 33-34)

The “Mammoth store” was built on the site of the old saw mill and lumber yard.
