General Notes: Husband - Frank Haskell

---

He was brought to Pithole, PA, in infancy. His early life was spent at Pleasantville, where he attended public school, later entering Allegheny College, where he was a student at the time of his father's death. He left his studies to take up the serious business of managing his father's estate, and until 1893 carried on oil operations in Venango and Warren counties in association with his brothers and other partners. Then he went to Indiana and took an active and successful part in the oil development there, a short time after his marriage establishing his home in Pittsburgh, where he continued to reside until 1905, meanwhile operating extensively in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois. Having become interested in the Mid-Continent field he removed to Independence, KS, and in 1907 went to Robinson, IL, to take the management of the Associated Producers Company, the producing branch of the Tidewater Oil Company in that field. He built up the plant and business to profitable proportions, remaining there until the Illinois field declined and he was sent to Tulsa, OK, as manager of another Tidewater subsidiary, the Okla Oil Company, of which he was also vice president. This has since become the Tidal Oil Company, who are among the conspicuously successful operators in the Mid-Continent field, owning and operating about twenty-five hundred wells. The operations are conducted on a large scale and eminently sound principles, the property of the company being one of the best equipped in the business, with a stable production almost unrivaled. Mr. Haskell was the largest individual owner of Tidal stock. He was a director in the Exchange National Bank, the leading financial institution of Tulsa, and a member of numerous clubs and other local organizations in that city. He had the reputation of being one of the best judges of oil sands and values in the business. [CAB, 440]
