Children

General Notes: Husband - William Roy Hazlett


He was born in Peabody, Kansas, during his parents' residence in that state. Their return to Washington County, Pennsylvania, took place, however, when he was very young, so that his childhood was spent in the latter place and in the local schools thereof he obtained the elementary portion of his education. He later attended for a time the business college at Washington, Pennsylvania, but left this institution in July, 1903, and removed to Ben Avon, Pennsylvania. Here he became associated with the lumber business of Cook & Calvin, later known as the Ben Avon Lumber Company. In this concern he served in the capacity of bookkeeper for a number of years. In April, 1907, Mr. Hazlett was offered a position as general accountant and auditor of the Kansas City branch of the National Biscuit Company, and accordingly journeyed to the western city, remaining there about a year. At the end of that period, however, the Ben Avon Lumber Company, his former employer, offered him the office of secretary and treasurer in the concern if he would return. This offer Mr. Hazlett accepted.
