MISS HAZEL CRAST
This community was saddened, by the death of Miss Hazel Crast, aged 17 years, which occured in Watertown, August 4th at four o'clock p.m.
Hazel was born in Lorraine, Jefferson County, June 12th, 1905 being the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eli Crast. She has been a patient sufferer for nearly ten months, at first having typhoid pneumonia which later disease developed into chronic Bright's. She was carefully attended by Dr. Allen of Sandy Creek, and also Dr. Harwood Hollis was called in several times as council. Three weeks previous to her death the family moved to Watertown where they were obliged to change doctors. As she was taken worse on, August 2nd, Dr. Fred Smith who is a specialist on Bright's disease was called in he said everything in human power that could be done for the case, Dr. Allen had done.
The funeral was largely attended at the Wesleyan church on August 7th, interment in Wesleyan cemetery. The casket was completely covered with flowers which spoke of the high esteem in which she was held.
The family has the sympathy of the community and especially the mother who has tended her So tenderly for so long, never tiring, arid glad to be able to care for her until the last.
Hazel was of a bright disposition, always cheerful, and made the remark to hef aunts just a short time before she died, that if she had to die, what a nice time it would be to go, when there were, so many flowers in bloom.
Not seeming in the least concerned about going and saying she felt sure God would take her to Him, if she had to go.
She is survived by her father and mother, five brothers, Erwin, John, and Ivan of Watertown, Glen and James of Laeena,-two nieces and two nephews, besides uncles, aunts and cousins, who will miss her bright smiles and pleasant words.
"When we see the precious blossom,
That we tended with such care
Rudely taken from our bosom,
How our hearts almost despair.
Around the grave we fondly linger
Until the setting sun is low
Feeling all our hopes have vanished,
With the flowers we cherished so."
