Hazel Phillippe was born April 20, 1890 in Bicknell, Indiana.  She was the oldest of at least five children born to William Franklin Phillippe and Nancy Jane Gilmore.  She had three brothers–Goldie, Frank and Albert–and a sister Flossie.

In 1909, Hazel married Martin Franklin Green and they had two sons, Dallas and another son who died in infancy.  Martin worked for the railroad as a fireman.  The Greens lived in Bicknell until 1951 when Martin died of a heart attack at age 62.  Hazel continued to reside in her home town until 1975 when she, too, succumbed to heart failure at the age of 85.  She is buried in the Asbury Chapel Cemetery in Ragsdale.

Hazel was my 2nd cousin 3x removed on my dad’s side.
