General Notes

Note

Undated email found with this image explains that Hazel Babylon grew up in Fountain Valley and was a schoolmate to Elma Schaeffer, who was born in 1908. Hazel Babylon was about the same as Elma Schaeffer. Hazel was an only child and had no children. Hazel may have been married to a doctor. Elma's daughter Yvonne remembers visiting Hazel Babylon in Kingsville (Balt. Co.) as a child.

Note

Hazel was born in 1909, the daughter of Truman Babylon and Alberta Agnes (Myerly) Babylon. She appears to have married Albert J. McCrowe, a doctor from Baltimore. Later details of either are sketchy.
