OBITUARY
January 26, 1972, Haxtun Herald
Hazel Isabel Kullgren Scott was born in Lafayette, Colorado, on February 1, 1895, daughter of Andrew and Mary Kullgre,n and passed away January 18 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, after an illness of several months.
Her father came to this country from Sweden at the age of seventeen years. Her mother, Mary Dempster Morrison Kullgren, came from Scotland at the age of fourteen years. They had a homestead near Erie, Colorado. Her mother's brother George owned and operated a coal mine now named Clayton after his son.
Hazel taught in the Denver, Colorado school system for fourteen years. She attended summer school at Denver University, Colorado University and the University of California at Berkeley, and received her degree and teaching certificate from Colorado State College in Greeley.
She took an active part in the music at Asbury Methodist Church where she met Ralph Luman Scott who was the bass soloist. They were married the 25th of August 1923 in Denver.
In 1926 Hazel took a year leave of absence from teaching when her son Ralph K. was born. During that year she drew the plans for the brick house which was built on West Clyde in North Denver, and they moved into it shortly after Ralph was born.
Ralph's sister Grace lived with them for several years at this time. Ralph gave up his position as production inspector in a Denver CB&Q railroad shop to purchase and operate the ice plant. Hazel continued to teach in Denver but she and Ralph spent their summers in Haxtun.
In 1924 they moved into a white stucco house at 2005 South Washington [in Haxtun] and lived there thirteen years. Wayne Herman Scott was born at the McKnight Hospital in Haxtun in 1935.
Many happy memories are connected with that white stucco house where the two boys grew up, and Ralph had his business office for the ice and cold storage business, fruit and vegetable warehouse and the Chicago Truck Line.
While Ralph was promoting his business, Hazel had very efficient help with bookkeeping in the office at home, such as Lucille, Alice and Anabelle Crossland, Hazel Hunt Hollowell, and Mildred Schoen Lightsey.
Hazel had many hobbies in addition to assisting her husband with his business. Her first love was her interest in the schools. She was secretary and treasurer of the grade school board for several years, and was on the county high school board at one time [ca. 1941]. As a grade school board member she organized a nursery school which was held in the grade school and financed by the WPA. It was through her efforts that the hot lunch program was started.
Mrs. Scott was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Haxtun and acted as pianist and choir director for many years. She joined the Denver Chapter of the Eastern Star when she was 21 years old, then later was a member of the Haxtun Chapter. She was a member of the PEO and the Haxtun Women's Club.
The past number of years, Hazel and Ralph Scott lived in one of the apartment units on the second floor of the Scott Building on Main Street in Haxtun. Hazel planned this building and Ralph built it in 1946.
She was preceded in death by her husband Ralph L. Scott on November 7, 1970. She is survived by two sons, Ralph K. Scott of Scottsbluff, Nebraska and Rev. Wayne H. Scott of Minden, Nebraska; also seven grandchildren: June Scott Dobbs of Gardena, California; Craig and Terri Scott of Scottsbluff Nebraska, Mike, Torrey, David and Gary Scott of Minden Nebraska; two sisters, Mrs. Hettie (Walter J.) Hollands of Hornell, New York, Mrs. Olive (Owen) Bird of Santa Paula, California; and a host of devoted friends.
