Wife of Editor of Kansas City Star Was Widow of Former Governor Hadley
KANSAS CITY - Mrs. Henry J. Haskell, 69, wife of the editor of the Kansas City Star and a widely known leader in many city and state cultural activities, died today at her home.
Widow of the late Missouri governor, Herbert S, Hadley, who died in 1927, she married The Star editor February 3, 1931, and her death in sleep followed by only a few hours the couples observance of their 15th wedding anniversary.

While at the university she worked as a reporter of the Lawrence Kansas Journal, and following her graduation in 1899 became a member of the exchange staff of The Star.
