Frank M. Haskell, a scion of one of the old and prominent families of Bellingham, enjoys an enviable reputation as a plumbing contractor and is successfully following in the business footsteps of his father, who was long a leader in this field of endeavor. A son of Edwin Nelson and Mahala (Shell) Haskell, he was born December 11, 1894, and has always resided in Bellingham. The mother was born in Topeka, Kansas, and has lived in this city since 1888. The father was a native of Stillwater, Maine, and became an expert plumber. In 1889 he opened a shop in Bellingham, forming a partnership with a Mr. Bonnie, and in 1892, at Fort Bellingham, established the first fish cannery on Puget sound. He operated the industry for two years and then returned to the plumbing business, in which he continued until his death in March, 1913, having been a member of the well known firm of Monroe & Haskell.
Frank M. Haskell was graduated from the Bellingham high school and under the careful training of his father mastered the technicalities of the plumber's trade. He was an apt pupil and at the age of nineteen took charge of the business, which he has since managed. It was conducted for many years at No. 1163 Elk street and in 1924 was moved to its new home at No. 1223 on the same thoroughfare. The company takes contracts for plumbing and sheet metal work and furnishes employment to nine men. In work of this description the firm has no superiors, and under the progressive management of Mr. Haskell the business has been greatly enlarged.
In 1918 Mr. Haskell was united in marriage to Miss Lucinda Lockwood, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Lockwood, early settlers of this locality. Mr. Lockwood is chief engineer for the Bellingham Light & Power Company and stands high in his profession. Mr. and Mrs. Haskell have two sons, Edwin and Murray. Mr. Haskell is a Mason and has taken the fourteenth degree in the Scottish Rite. He is also identified with the Fraternal Order of Eagles and the Lions Club. Politically he is not bound by party ties but casts his ballot for the candidate who he considers best qualified for office. A young man of substantial worth he has brought additional prestige to an honored name, and his record is a credit to the city of his birth.
