San Jose Mercury and Herald; April 2, 1911
"Following a short visit here in the hope of regaining his lost health, George D. Hascall, formerly a well known business man of San Jose but lately of Hood River, Or., passed away yesterday morning at the home of his brother, Andrew L. Hascall, on South Crittenden street. A desperate fight was made for his life, but overwork and an attack of malarial typhoid contracted in the North was more than his constitution, never robust, could endure.
The late George D. Hascall was a native of Winona, Minn., and was only 33 years old. He came to California about ten years ago and was for some time postmaster, railroad station agent, and express agent at Edenvale, where he lived with Mr. E.A. and Mr. J.O. Hayes, distant relatives. He was graduated from the Pacific Coast Business College with such distinction that he was immediately given the local agency for the Remington Typewriter Company and afterwards was given the management of the Los Angeles Branch. Lately he had been living in Hood River, Or., where he had a flourishing real estate business and a fine fruit ranch. Attending to both businesses and taking an active part in the improvement and promotion work of his new home, Mr. Hascall overworked himself and a month ago came to San Jose, hoping that the valley's climate would bring back his health as it had done several times before.
Mr. Hascall is survived by his widow, who was Miss Maude Rogers, a daughter of William H. Rogers of this city and a two year old son, Don C. Hascall. Other relatives who mourn his loss are his father, Dr. C.A. Hascall of Fallon, Nev., a brother Andrew L. Hascall of San Jose; and two sisters, Mrs. L.W. Hubbard of St. Paul Minn., and Mrs Z. Steele of Huron S.D."
