WILLIAM S. HAZEL, of Knottsville, son of R. H. Hazel, was born in 
Knottsville, Feb. 20, 1853.  He was educated in Cecilian College, of 
Hardin County, this State.  In 1872 and 1873 he clerked on the 
wharf-boat of Triplett, Bacon & Co., of Owensboro; came to Knottsville 
in 1874, and clerked for Dr. Drury, and was at the same time engaged in 
the insurance agency.  In 1875 he worked on a farm, and in 1876 he 
engaged in the mercantile business with C. O. Clements, in Knottsville. 
 In 1878 Clements sold to J. W. McJohnston, of Owensboro, who continued 
with Mr. Hazel as a partner until August, 1880, when he sold his 
interests to the latter.  Mr. Hazel continued the business until Oct. 8, 
1882, when he sold it to Ignatius A. Aull, he still owning the 
undertaker's department.  Mr. Hazel erected a small grist-mill at 
Knottsville in 1881, but sold it and built a larger one in 1882, which 
we describe elsewhere in this work.  He married Agnes L. Clements, 
daughter of C. O. Clements, of Knottsville.  They have two 
children--Chloe and Joseph B.  Mr. Hazel is Deputy County Clerk, and a 
Catholic Knight; also member of the N. M. B. A.
