(SEXTONE)(HAZZARD), 101, born September 30, 1893, widow of Benjamin Hazzard and Frank Beckhold, mother of Marguerite Short, Betty McMillen, and the late Maxwell Hazzard and Maxine Torrey, sister of Maude Oles, Mabel Valentine, Clare Saxton and Vern Saxton, daughter of Oscar and Mary (Baldwin) Sextone, daughter of Esther and George Baldwin, son of William F. Baldwin and Matilda (Shaw), daughter of Sarah (Keller) and Robert Shaw, son of Mary (McDowell) and Richard Shaw, Soldier of the Revolution. Oscar Sextone was the son of Henry Seckstone, who owned what later became the Issi and Ida Seckstone Fletcher farm, later owned by Calvin Smith, Ron Walkington, and now Larry Brearley, in NE ¼ Sec. 6 Sebewa, on Goddard Road. Also the W ½ NW ¼ Sec. 5, now belonging to Richard Goodemoot. Oscar Sextone got the Goodemoot eighty and that is probably where Zella was born. Note the changes in spelling. The Baldwin families lived on Musgrove Hwy. Rush Baldwin had the east eighty of the Theo Bulling farm. George had the next east eighty where Ed Demaray – Wm. Nurenberg home stands. Isaac had the east 160 of the Demaray farm. Christi Sayer, sister to Clarence’s father, Jacob, married George Baldwin’s son Charles, which may explain how the north forty of George’s farm passed to the Sayer family. Zella’s second husband was Frank Beckhold. Mary’s second husband was Edwin Leak. Esther’s second husband was a Hutchins.
