Eleanor Hazen White is buried in Wolf Creek Cemetery and Mary Ellen Hazen Smith is buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, both in Franklin County, Indiana.
The proof that John Townsend Hazen was Sam and Mary Ellen's father comes from Mary Ellen Hazen Smith's Death Certificate and from Daniel Hazen's obituary. Their mother has never been identified. John Townsend Hazen married twice after Samuel Albert and Mary Ellen Hazen were born, but he did not acknowledge either child in his will.
Sam's sister, Mary Ellen Hazen, was born 18 Jan 1849 in Oak Forest, Franklin County, Indiana and lived many years in Brookville, IN. She married William Smith April 19, 1865 in Brookville, IN.
Mary Ellen Hazen Smith died 17 Apr 1926 in Connersville, IN and was buried in Maple Grove cemetery in Brookville. Her death certificate #12538, Registration #85 lists her father as John Hazen with mother unknown, and one of her obits mentions her brother Samuel Hazen of Ponca City, OK.
