Person:Hazel Foskey (1)

When I asked who she was named for, my mother told me this story: Our grandmother (Maggie Wynn) named her after a murdered woman in Chicago, Hazel Drew. Her photo had been in the paper and our grandmother thought she was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen so she named mom after her. Strange but true according to mom! (as told by Mary Jean Mullins).
