Generation: 1
1. Hazel Vivian Reed was born on 21 Sep 1892 in Eureka Springs, Carroll County, Arkansas; died on 4 Oct 1975 in Syracuse, Hamilton County, Kansas; was buried in Syracuse Cemetery, Syracuse, Hamilton County, Kansas. Notes:
Hazel Vivian Reed Ogden O'Brate was born in Eureka Springs, Arkansas Sept 21, 1892. When she was two years old, the Reed family moved to Lincoln, Kan. At the age of Fourteen, she was baptized in the Saline River and became a member of the Methodist Church. She later joined the Christian Church.
In 1906 she moved with her family to Enid, Okla., and three years later she was united in marriage to Samuel Ogden who lived near Enid. To this union six children were born. The family resided near Enid until most of the children were grown. They then moved to California and lived for several years. On Feb 3, 1950, her husband died and in 1956 she married Anthony O'Brate of Syracuse, Kansas. The O'Brate's and Ogdens had been life-long friends, so being united by this marriage made the bond even closer. She and Anthony had 14 happy years together, but, during this time, Hazel's health failed, and, for many years, she has been an invalid. Anthony's death came in 1970.
Whoever wrote "God couldn't be everywhere so he made mothers" must certainly have had Hazel in mind. Even during her many years in the rest home, she was loved by all who came in contact with her. Her kindness, patience, and bits of humor made her a favorite with everyone. Her death came Oct 4, 1975, at the Hamilton county long term care unit.
Surviving her are four children; Jessie Mae Ashley of Phoenix, Arizona; Dorothy Eastman, Lucille Hart and Norval Ogden of the San Diego area. Two sons, Floyd and Earl, preceded her in death as did three step-sons this same year. She also leaves two sisters, Crystal Johnson and Jessie Ogden of California; three step-children, Helen Christiansen, Walsh, Colo; Larry O'Brate, Bowie, MD; and Howard O'Brate, Garden City, Kan. Surviving too, are 18 grandchildren, one great-grandchild and many other relatives and friends.
