Mrs. Hazel Shepard Hudspeth, 78, a well known and
highly regarded Blakely lady, a descendant of a
prominent Southwest Georgia family died in the Early
Memorial Hospital Thursday, August 22, 1985, following
a long illness.  Mrs. Hudspeth had lived most of her
life in Early County, the widow of John Hudspeth and
was born in Miller County September 26, 1906, the
daughter of William Byrd Shepard and Lizzie McNair
Shepard.  She was a member of the First Baptist Church
of Blakely and a charter member of the Blakely Garden
Club.  She was a gifted flower Gardner, and was
recognized wherever she was known as a raiser of prize
roses.  The casket was covered with beautiful roses
grown in her own garden and the flower garden of her
brother, B. B. Shepard of Leary.


The final rites were held in the Blakely cemetery late
Friday afternoon with her pastor, Dr. J. O. Dorriety,
officiating.  Grandsons of the deceased served as pall
bearers.


Survivors are two sons, Dr. E. B. Hudspeth, Macon,

Waggoner, Charlotte, N. C.; Mrs. Patricia Helton,
