Her actions were celebrated in a folk ballad and were published in many newspaper and magazine articles in the subsequent decades. ==Life and family== Hazel was the 15-year-old daughter of William Albert Miner, a farmer, and his wife, the former Blanche Steele, both originally of Iowa. Hazel's sisters and brothers were Zelda, 21; Emmet, 10; Myrdith, 8; and Howard, 5.〔 Hazel was an eighth grade student at a one-room school, the same attended by Emmet and Myrdith.〔 The Oliver County register of deeds, whose daughter had played with Hazel, recalled, "Kind of a quiet girl she was," and described her as "sort of motherly, for one so young."〔 Her father considered her highly dependable.〔 Her obituary described her as "quiet and loving," with a "sunny, cheerful nature" and having a liking for children. Hazel had planned to start high school in Bismarck, North Dakota that fall.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hazel Miner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
