Notes

Sources for this information are from Guyan Township family records. I had Hazel Mary as this woman's name, but when we found her headstone, it read Mary Hazel. We chose the headstone record name order.

Family story, told by my grandfather, Myron Loren Halley, concerning his father's sister Mary Hazel Halley Harrison. In 1933 the Ohio River at Gallipolis was out of its banks. The Harrisons lived high above the banks of the river. Hazel picked up husband John at work. He drove home and just in front of their home, he drove the car over the bank and stepped out, with Hazel and the children John and Eileen going over with it. Hazel apparently rolled down the window and pushed young John out, but kept Eileen with her. A negro boy climbed down to the river's edge and pulled young John out of the water. In Hazel's Bible, she left plans for her funeral. Soon after, John Sr. married a woman he had been chasing. Hazel's four brothers discussed bringing murder charges, but Solomon and Coleman said, if he was guilty, God would punish him. His new father-in-law shot and killed him.
