The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1918-11-14
Loved and Mourned BY All


principal of the Flint Public SchooD
Hazel Beadle was an efficient, pro-
gressive and painstaking teacher. She
had the esteem of her pupils, patrons
and associate teachers. She was in
every way a young woman Of fine
qualities, socially and professionally,
Personally l feel that 1 have lost dear
friend as Hazel was always ready to
cooperate with whateYer she made a
success Of well remember her en-
thusiasm in Red Cross work, both
Junior and the regular Red Cross, 1t
was her delight TO work after school
with the girls of our department max.
ing things for the Belgian Relief work.
She filled her place to the fullest meas
ure and it should be comfort to you
both to know that her superintendent
or principal meyer had criticism in
any way, shape or manner. On the
contrary it was pleasure for me to
tell Hazel from time to time how much
l appreciated her work. Let it be a
comfort to you also to know that
Hazel's superintendent, principal, and
the teachers and pupils all loved her
and mourn her loss keenly."
A. N. Cody, superintendent of the
Flint Schools, writes these words of
comfort to the sad parents:-"l wish
to assure you and your family of my
deep appreciation of the work and ser.
vices rendered to our school by your
daughter, Hazel Her untimely death
is a great loss to us as she was an ex-
cellent teacher, beloved by pupils and
associate teachers, and we wish to ex.
tend to you our sincere sympathy in
this time of bereavement. We can
not understand why she was not per-
mitted to continue in her noble work,
but she lived positive, noble life and
the splendid work she has done will
live after her. May the Great Com
forter abide with you constantly"
Such are the words of comfort, praise
and commendation which marks the
closing of the beautiful life of Hazel
Beadle. She was born ia Speaker
township, June 26, 1896, to Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Beadle, and was reared
and educated in the public school in
Melvin until she passed the Sth grade
before she attained her twelfth year,
and later attended the Yale High
school from which she graduated in
four years. After completion of a
course at Ypsilanti she gained life
certificate to teach. For the past two
years she has taught mathematics in
the pubic schools of Flint and was just
entering upon her third year when
stricken.
Two weeks before her death she was
stricken with influenza, which later de-
veloped into pneumonia, and it proved
that medical aid could not stay the
grim reaper from taking this beautiful
life which was as a fragrant flower,
just blossomed into womanhood, and
Monday, Oct, 2Sth, 1918, she answered
the call to make that journey into
realms on high, where God will care
for His child. The mysteries of life
are hard to understand when we see
such brilliant and beloved girl taken
from this cold world where every ray
Of sunshine is needed to cast bright
ness on the lshadows and the gloom,
but One who knows and understands
these things has far greater work and
a reward that comes only to those who
deserve it, and He made His call for
her to go home and the call was ans
wered.
A week before her death her mother
was called from a visit at Niagara
Falls to Flint, when her condition be.
came dangerous and she together with
her aunt, Mrs. Helena Summers, were
with her when the end came. The
body was brought to Melvin from
Flint the same day of her death.
She leayes besides her sorrowful faith
er and mother, half-brother, George
Beadle, of Port Huron, half-sister,
Mrs. Fred Kettlewell, of Melvin, and
brother in the Aviation Corps Of the
u. =. A. stationed at Vancouver,
Wash, and scores of other relatives
and friends.
The funeral was held on Wednesday
Oct. Both, from the farm home near
MelYin and interment in Yale eeme-
terry, Rev. j. j. Blackmore, of Melvin,
officiating.
The family wish to express their
heartfelt thanks for the great kindness
and sympathy shown in their great
affliction, to those who assisted in the
music and to those who contributed
their respects through the floral offer
