Caroline H. Simpson, 90, of Geneva, died October 27, 2016 at the Atria Park of Glen Ellyn.
Caroline loved Geneva and the Fox Valley, and dedicated herself to their quality of life and legacy.
Caroline was especially interested in ensuring that Geneva's history was gathered and passed on to each generation. She co-wrote a chapter of the 1985 book - Geneva, Illinois, A History of its Times and Places.
Caroline served on the board of the Geneva History Museum, where she was a vital contributor to its growth and its successful move in 2004 to its own building in downtown Geneva. The museum has become an important learning center for students and other visitors.
Caroline and her husband Bruce were married for more than 50 years, celebrating their Golden Anniversary in 2001. Bruce served as Alderman of Geneva's 2nd Ward after he retired. It was only fitting that she and Bruce were honored jointly in 1998 by the Geneva Chamber of Commerce with the Wood Community Service award for their hard work and devotion to the city.
Caroline was born June 30, 1926 at Evanston Hospital. She was the daughter of Sidney and Harriet Haskell.
Caroline graduated from Geneva High School in 1944, and the Western College for Women (now Miami University of Ohio) in 1948.
She married Bruce Simpson of Sugar Grove in 1951. The two lived in the tri-city area through much of the 1950s while raising four sons. Bruce and Caroline were involved with the Playmakers in Batavia, where she was president, actress, and prop and costume designer.
In 1961, Bruce joined the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C., and he and Caroline moved the family to Falls Church, Va. The family spent the tumultuous 1960s in the Washington area where Caroline was an opponent of the Viet Nam War and attended a legendary march on the Pentagon in 1967. She was also a docent with the National Gallery of Art.
The family moved back to Geneva in 1974 when Bruce became executive vice president of the Chicago Board Options Exchange. The family re-joined the Geneva Golf Club, and Caroline attended and supported the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Music of the Baroque, and served as a docent with the Chicago Art Institute.
Caroline became an active volunteer with a number of tri-city organizations. In addition to the Geneva History Museum, she was a member of Tri-City Family Services of Kane Co., Garfield Farm in St. Charles, and the Geneva Garden Club. Caroline also served on the Board of Trustees of the Geneva Public Library.
She volunteered with Restoration of Kane County, Meals on Wheels, Interfaith Food Pantry, and Words & Wisdom at J.B. Nelson School in Batavia.
Caroline was a longtime member of Calvary Episcopal Church of Batavia where she volunteered on programs focused on literacy and the homeless.
She and Bruce were busy travelers, visiting France, Greece, Italy, and the United Kingdom. They also spent time traveling in Belize, Costa Rica, the Galapagos Islands, Jamaica, and Mexico.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Bruce, and her brother Henry.
She is survived by her four children, Christopher of Washington, D.C.; Thomas Haskell of Chicago; Burney Joseph of Takoma Park, Md.; Bruce Joseph (Stephanie) of Glen Ellyn; two grandchildren, Isaac Simpson and Louise Simpson, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Caroline is survived by her sisters Diana Shewalter of Geneva and Theodosia Haskell of Denver.

Volume 8, No. 4, December 1999Haskell library and Opera House
Horace Stewart Haskell, born 9 August 1860 at Derby, was educated at Derby Academy, Stanstead College and at Montreal. His business interests were extensive and extremely varied, including mills, real estate, candy and early vending machines. He was appointed U.S. consular agent at Stanstead and was an aide on the staff of Governor Josiah Groat with the rank of colonel. He was owner and manager of the International Water Works, which furnished drinking water to Stanstead and Rock Island, Province of Quebec, as well as to Derby Line, Vermont. A member of the Sons of the American Revolution and Sons of the Colonial Wars, he was also a 32-Degree Mason and member of the Mystic Shrine and the Golden Rule Lodge in Stanstead.
Horace shared with his cultured mother a deep and abiding interest in the arts, and it is reported Mrs. Haskell maintained a small theatre in her own home. According to a document on the wall of the present day library she demonstrated "ample evidence of her public spirit and large-hearted generosity". It was her idea, seized upon and expanded by her son, to establish a local public library and theatre. It was his "generous sympathy with the project that caused it to quite outgrow the limits of the original idea, alike in the character and dimensions of the building, the endowment of the Institution and the scope of its usefulness."
Conceived as a memorial to Martha's late husband, the gift included not only the library building, but a generous endowment for books and upkeep, the only stipulation being that the property be forever free from taxes. This was granted, and the institution was incorporated in the United States with a charter calling for four American and three Canadian trustees. The donors wished the building to be erected on the international boundary between the U.S. and Canada, and this was complied with, having 2/5ths of it in the U.S. and 3/5ths in Canada.
The laying of the cornerstone on 15 October 1901 was an international event with Masonic Lodge members from both countries participating.
Martha Haskell died 22 August 1906, just two years after the Opera House was completed. She left an estate of $130,000, a huge fortune at that time, to her son, who shared her wishes. In 1908 Horace Haskell transferred both halves of the library and opera house to an independent library corporation, and further endowed both with inherited investments.
Tracy Sheafe Haskell was injured at the Plattsburg Training Camp and subsequently died.
Plattsburg, New York was the site of the National Army's Officer Candidate School in 1917. This camp was established in 1911 and held courses for prospective officers intermittently until the entry of the United States in the war in Europe. The Regular U.S. Army at the time was very small, and totally insufficient for the prospects of fighting in Europe. The National Guard augmented the Regular Army, but still the totals were insufficient. The United States Government decided upon a course of conscription of men for a "National Army." These draftees would need officers to train and lead them, thus the reason for the facility at Plattsburg, New York.
Perley Frank Haskell was a farmer.
