>>1922 - Death Cert. #6068, Saluda Co, SC >>W. H. Hazel >>Male, white, widowed, mechanic >>b. June (12), 1854, SC >>father: L. B. Hazel, SC >>mother: Martha Smith, SC Billie, The information you supplied above, L.B. Hazel and Martha Smith are my kinfolk. Their daughter, which you list also, Kittie Hazel married my Great Grandfather Eli Mathew Barnes. My grandfather, son of Eli and Martha, Arthur Smith Barnes, was named after her father. I have copied most of the census records on this line sometime back in the late 1960's. I didn't find this family in the 1860 census but did find them in the 1870 and 1880. I don't have much more about L.B. Hazel except that the B stands for Berry according to my father. >> I could not find him in the Zoar Methodist Church Cem. Records to verify the >> date of birth as the 12th, which was very difficult to read in his death cert. Were you looking in "Our Saluda County Ancestors Vol. II" cem. records? I have all three volume of this work and Zoar Meth. Church is in vol. II. I looked and found only 4 Hazel's. None of them ring any bells with me. But I get the feeling I have already told you this before. If so, please forgive me.

Franklin responded, "A Republic, if you can keep it."
