He married 28 Apr 1918 Midway, Lea Co, NM to Tollye Shuman
His name is Hazel and her name is Tollye, that is correct. He was named after his mother's father Hazael Holly. They were farming just across the stateline in Yoakum Co, TX when he died, Lovington was the nearest clinic.
Hazel had a reputation when he was young as being the best at bronc riding. He was said to be able to put a dime between his boot and the stirup and when he got through it would still be there. He also could do what was called marking the hoofs.
He could take a piece of chalk and when he got through bronc riding every hoof of that horse had a chalk mark on it, while he keep his hand off the horse itself. Never heard of that before. A very elderly man told me about that. He was just a boy himself when his father introduced him to Hazel and told him "son, I want you to meet the best bronco rider I ever seen" He recanted to me that story.
