John HASKIN

• Name	John HASKIN  [1]
  Gender	Male
  Note	He drifted away 300 miles north of Ottawa in a wilderness and built a little cabin and lived the life of a hermit for a good many years subsisting on game and such produce as he could raise. Thirty-one years ago he visited the scenes of his childhood and spent a few weeks with his old neighbours. During his stay here it was my privilege to have many interviews with him and indeed it was a rare treat to hear him relate his experiences while living in his little cabin alone in the north. All at once he disappeared and at last account he had spent his declining years living with the negroes of the Southern States. Thus lived and passed away one of the strangest and most intelligent men that was ever born in Greenbush.p 1 Title: Transcription of "Old Leeds Pioneers" Author: by Alice M.
