A tribute to the memory of Thomas B. Hazelwood. To present the character of Thomas B. Hazelwood so that those who read this memorial will see him as he was while sojourning among mortals, is indeed a difficult task; for many and varied conditions in life, and many influences operated upon him to develop the character that was known to us for many years. Thomas B. Hazelwood was born Feb 24, 1826. He died at Town Creek Alabama Aug 3, 1906.
When very young his mother died, leaving him to be cared for by kind friends who watched after him as their own, until his father married again and took him into the paternal home.
His opportunities for an education were limited, but early in life he began work for himself, and with attention to business and correct behavior he made warm friends and received encouragement in his business transactions. For several years he was constable of Courtland beat. He was candidate for Sheriff of Lawrence County, Alabama, but was defeated by Judge Henry McGhee, one of the most popular men who ever lived in the county.
June 13th 1853, he married Miss. Susan C. Oliver of Rogersville Alabama. During his lifetime, he bought a home in Town Creek, Alabama and was appointed the first railroad agent at that place, which position he held for 30 years until decrepitude forced him to surrender the position.
He also engaged in merchandizing and was successful as a merchant. He made money and bought property until his income was significant for a very comfortable living for the later part of his life.
His wife died after several years of happy companionship, and he married Miss Mollie C. Piper. of Courtland, Alabama, Jan 6, 1874. He has three living children by his first wife and one by the second. About the year 1830, he was a petitioner for the secrets of masonry and received the first three degrees. He was indeed devout to masonry and as long as he was able, was faithful in attending the meetings of the lodge.
At the time of his death he was a member of Town Creek Lodge number 361 and was for more than 20 years its treasurer. Its annual settlements were always made, as were required by the bylaws and his books were correctly kept and the money of the lodge properly used. As with the lodge, so in his business transactions with other persons. He was truthful and honest. He was not a member of the church, but was a believer in the truth of Christianity, and contributed liberally to the support of the Church and its institutions. He was a moral man, free from profanity and dissipations of any kind. He was a good citizen of his community, a genial companion and had many warm friends. He had his peculiarities, you might say faults, but against us all this charge may be made.
Resolved, that Town Creek Lodge number 361 in brother Thomas B. Hazelwood, has lost an annual member and supporter; and as in individual members, all have lost a genial companion. Resolved, that the badge of mourning be worn by the members, and the lodge room be draped, and creped for 30 days. Resolved, that we extend to the children and friends of brother Hazelwood the sympathy of the members of our lodge. Resolved, that a copy of this memorial be sent to the Moulton Advertiser and the Lincoln News for publication, and request that a copy of the paper be sent to Mrs Nanny Chandler, Corinth, Mr. A.S. Hazelwood, care of Southern Railway company, Corinth, Alabama, Mr. Thomas Hazelwood, San Antonio Texas, Mrs. Georgia Pullin, Courtland Alabama, Mr. W. A.
