children in the family - son (1896-1896), Thelma (1900-1908), Marcella (1897-1920) and Arlie Hazel (1905-1905).
Hazel attended schools in Gjerpan and Manitowoc. She graduated from Lincoln High School. She attended St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, graduating in 1931.

Hazel retired in 1972 after 41 years.
After retirement, Hazel was very active in church work, holding many responsible chairmanships. She also helped a family from Laos assimilate into American life, teaching them housekeeping methods, taking care of their children, and teaching them to read, write and understand English. One of the Laotian gentleman helped her with her garden, spading, transplanting and trimming. She was always teaching
them.
Hazel traveled to many places during her lifetime. Most of the United States, especially the national parks and historical places. There were several trips
to Europe, including Germany, Austria, France, Italy, England. Of course, Norway was the highlight for her, where she had relatives and could converse with them
in Norwegian. My parents traveled with her in 1970 and had a great time, meeting relatives in Norway. They traveled on the Rhine river and attend Omeraergu. One of her goals was to go to Israel and Holy land, which she accomplished as well.
