CHARLES D. HASCALL

	Agricultural pursuits have largely engaged the attention of Charles D.
Hascall, who for the past twenty-five years has been residing on his present
ranch in Umatilla county. This now embraces one hundred and sixty acres of land
and is numbered among the well improved and valuable properties of that
community. He was born in the state of New York on the 22d of February, 1837,
and is the son of William C. and Finett B. (Storms) Hascall. The parents were
born, reared and married in the Empire State, whence they subsequently removed
to Maine, and there they both passed away. Their family numbered five sons, four
of which have always made their home in the east.
   Charles D. Hascall was reared at home and given the advantages of a high
school education, and while pursuing his studies he was laying the foundation
for an agricultural career by assisting his father with the work of the fields
and care of the stock. At the age of twenty one years he started out for himself
and as he had never learned a trade he worked for three years as a farm hand.
During that time he saved enough money to begin farming on his own account, so
located on a farm in Vermont which he cultivated for three years. At the end of
that time he returned to Maine, where he continued to follow agricultural
pursuits for eight years. Withdrawing from the work of the fields, he went back
to Vermont, settling in the town of Proctor, and for eight years was employed in
the marble works at that place. Foreseeing that this occupation afforded small
hope of financial advancement, he decided to make a change and as the northwest
had always attracted him. in 1886, accompanied by his wife and family, he came
to Oregon. Immediately following his arrival he filed on the one hundred and
sixty acre homestead where he now lives. Two years late he preempted one hundred
and sixty acres which he still owns. During his residence in Umatilla county he
has engaged in the stock business.  Mr. Hascall's farm is fine land, and as it
has been well improved and kept up it not only makes him a very pleasant and
comfortable home but provides him with an income that is more than sufficient
for the needs of his family.
   On the 11th of October 1859, Mr. Hascall was united in marriage to Miss Ellen
C. Warner, a native of Pittsford, Vermont. She is one of the eight children born
of the marriage of Nathan S. and Sarah G. (Powers) Warner, six of whom are still
living. The parents were both born in Vermont and there the mother passed away.
The father, however, was living in Umatilla county at the time of his death. Mr.
and Mrs. Hascall have had five children, the eldest of whom, Nettie S. is now
deceased. The others in order of birth are as follows: Fred W.; A.E., who is
mentioned elsewhere in this work; James H.; and Eugene M.
   The parents are both members of the Baptist church and Mr. Hascall votes the
Republican ticket and during the period of his residence here has served on the
local school board. Mr. and Mrs. Hascall are most estimable people and are held
in high regard in the community where they have made their home for more than a
quarter of a century.
