Hazel family, Bowling Green, Kentucky, 1916. Photo by Lewis Hine.

Mrs. J.L. Hazel and children stripping tobacco. A very interesting and poorly educated family. See special card and Kentucky report. Location: Bowling Green vicinity, Kentucky.  Lewis W. Hine, 1916.

 
Thanks to an article in the Bowling Green Daily News (at my suggestion), I have located many descendants of this family, none of whom has ever seen these photos. I interviewed the daughter of Nell, who is the tall girl in the middle of the top photo, and the girl second from the right in the bottom photo. James Lonzo Hazel, the father, died in 1917, a year after the photos were taken. Angie Hazel, the mother, died in 1919.
