Hazen H Hunkins, deceased, was born in Danville, VT May 19, 1820; came West 1839, and settled in New Berlin, Waukesha Co. He married Nov 26, 1847 to Miss Aurelia S Scagel, formerly of Waterbury, VT. His early life was passed on a farm; he was a few years a proprietor of a marble establishment; in 1867, he moved into the village of Waukesha and built a large and attractive home on the corner of Grand Avenue and Carroll St. He held various local offices; in 1864 he was elected County Treasure; he was Under Sheriff of the county. He died on the 29th of March, 1879 leaving three children; M Emma, who married William S Parsons and lives in New Berlin; Carrie A at home; Wilbur F married A.D Jackman and lives in Waukesha. He was a Master Mason and exemplified the virtues of the order in his daily life; he was buried with Masonic honors. Since 1857 he had been a consistent member of the ME Church. He was a quiet, unassuming and highly respected; he was a wise counselor, reliable citizen and ably acted his part in all the varied relations of life. Mrs. Hunkins still lives in the beautiful homestead and is well known as a genial and competent lady; her home is the favorite resort of many summer "spring visitors". It is a "tourist home" and is acknowledged as the leading establishment of the kind in Waukesha. Contributor: Kenneth Hunkins
