Oddly, as a child, I recall hearing the name of Marion and Zella Hazel. I don’t recall the story that went with them, nor how often I heard their names. But their names are familiar to me. Working through these old 110 negatives, I came upon two photos. I also recognized them in another black and white photo with my Grandpa. I may have even met them, but do not recall such a memory.

Here is what I have learned.

Lorenzo Marion Hazel was born 8 January 1911 in Salem, Utah, Utah. He passed away at home 3 December 1993 in Salem. His parents were William John Hazel and Minnie Maud Smith.

Zella Dorothy Jarvis was born 9 September 1911 in Santaquin, Utah, Utah. She passed away at home 23 January 1996 in Payson, Utah, Utah. Her parents were William Ephraim Jarvis and Zella Elizabeth Carter.

Marion and Zella were married 2 April 1931 in Provo, Utah, Utah. They had four children, Verlene, Jeannetta, Gerald, and Stan.

According to Marion’s obituary, he retired from Del Monte after 42 years there. That was likely what brought them to Burley, Idaho and where they became friends with my Grandparents, Norwood and Colleen Jonas. Norwood also worked at Del Monte in Burley from construction until his death in 1975. That friendship obviously continued after the death of my Grandfather and my Grandmother remarrying to Evan Kay Elliott in 1976.

That is about the extent of what I know.

Here are two more pictures taken from the same day in City of Rocks. I don’t know who is on the rock or if they were even with the party.
