Pickering, Hazel Marie - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Hazel Marie, daughter of Oliver and Lennie Pickering, was born Nov. 23, 1897, and died of diphtheria March 29, 1898, aged four months and six days.  While death is no respecter of persons, we are made to feel that sometimes he claims for his own the fairest and dearest ones and while papa and mamma can no longer clasp to their bosoms the one they so much loved, yet by faith they can view the heavenly land and know that she is with Jesus, who said: “Suffer little children to come unto me.” So father and mother can only look to Him who alone can bind the broken hearted and comfort the bowed down, and through whom they can meet their darling baby. Little Hazel leaves father, mother, two brothers and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. On Wednesday at 1 o’clock, after short services at the grave, all that was mortal of little Hazel was laid to rest in the Wesley Cemetery. -s
