  • Notes 
    • "Aunt Ted" as she was known, was much loved throughout the family, and in her hometown of Pulaski, NY. Hazel came to Pulaski to work at the age of 15 for the Betts family on Jefferson St. She met John Bentley a few years later and the two were married.
      The Bentleys moved into a home on Bridge St., and from there and the Community Hospital across town, Teddy delivered many 100s of babies as a midwife. The community gave Teddy a citizenship award in her later years, and many of her "deliveries" often stopped in to see her.
      Hazel and John used to have tame raccoons that came into the house to get something to eat. Many photos of these "pets" survive.
      Aunt Ted was the keeper of much of the family history, and used to talk to many of us about Grandpa Smith and the Civil War. Visits to her cozy home are among the earliest memories of this writer.
