HAZEL BEYNON SWINDELL

  Mrs. Hazel Beynon Swindell died at her home at Route 3, Elizabeth, Pa., at 
about 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, January 8th, of sarcoma.  Mrs. Swindell had been in 
poor health for more than a year and a half and had a section of bone removed 
from her right knee for test purposes, and later, in July 1947, had suffered the 
amputation of her right leg at the thigh, in the Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh.  
Her health continued to fail, however, and she finally passed away.
  Along with her husband and family, she was a former resident of West 
Salisbury, and had moved to Elizabeth about four and a half years ago.  She was 
born in Salisbury on February 26, 1906, daughter of Harriet (Newman) and William 
Beynon.  In addition to her husband, Lewis F. Swindell, she is survived by her 
father, William Beynon of Salisbury; six children: John R., Betty Jane, James 
Robert, Patricia May, Rose Marie and Janet Lee Swindell; by one brother, John 
Beynon of Scranton, Pa., and by one sister, Mabel, wife of S. C. Showalter of 
West Salisbury.
  Funeral services were conducted at the Thomas Funeral Parlors at 2:00 p.m. on 
Sunday, January 11th, with the Rev. Floyd H. Gotjen officiating.  The bier was 
graced with a great mass of flowers, and a large number of friends and relatives 
attended the funeral, most of them from out of town.  Pall bearers were all 
former neighbors in West Salisbury; Grant Bowman, Percy Harris, Clarence Fuller, 
Robert Jones Sr., Kenneth Trent and Earl Trent.  Interment in the I.O.O.F. 
Cemetery in charge of Mortician Stanley M. Thomas.
