Lucinda Leroy Hinds was born in Kentucky July 22, 1853, and was married to J. N. Hardy January 8, 1873. To this union eight children were born, five sons and the husband preceding her in death. In September, 1896, she was married to J. A. Hazel, one son being born to the couple. Both the husband and son also have preceded her in death.

Mrs. Hazel professed faith in Christ in early life and united with the Baptist Church where her membership remained until her death. She loved her church and the nearer she came to the end, the more she talked about her "Heavenly home in glory", and was anxious to be with her loved ones who had gone on before.
A good wife, mother and neighbor, a conscientious Christian and citizen, Mrs Hazel will be greatly missed in her community and by all who knew her.
