Herbert Hazelip was born in Edmondson County, Ky., August 12, 1888, and departed from this earthly life on June 9 [June 8], 1965. Brother Hazelips life on earth was a busy one, and most useful. He engaged in many worthy activities which provided well for his family, and proved of great benefit to his fellow man. He was public spirited, always interested in the welfare of his community. In early life he taught in the public schools, served his county as a deputy sheriff, and for thirty years was postmaster to Asphalt, Ky. He was a Director of the Brownsville (Ky.) Deposit Bank. He was a merchant in his community for many years. In all these relationships he was efficient, honest, and absolutely reliable. In character he was pure, cheerful in disposition, firm, and though considerate was stable, and uncompromising in his convictions. His work in the Church is of inestimable value. He served as an elder in the Asphalt church and led it safely through more than one serious crisis. He was sane in judgment; sound in faith; loved the truth and ever stood firmly for it. He was unaffected by the hobbies that afflicted the church in his time and locality, and always contended for sound principles and positions. Brother Hazelip was twice married. His first wife, Mrs. Maggie Hazelip, the mother of his children, preceded him in death twelve years ago. The second wife Mrs. Martine Hazelip, survives. Both were worthy companions of a great man and excellent Christian women. He is survived by four daughters and four sons all of whom are devout Christians. The sons are all preachers of the gospel. The daughters are Mrs. Edna Lewis, Mrs. Ruth Duvall, Mrs. Charlotte Wilson, Mrs. Eva Douglas. The sons are Lawrence of Pasadena, Texas; Woodrow of Collingwood, Ontario, Can.; Raymond of Bowling Green, Ky., and Harold of Iowa. One daughter died several years ago. The funeral at Asphalt church of Christ, of which he was a member and an elder, was attended by a very large concourse of sorrowing friends gathered from a wide area. The expressions of sympathy for the family took practically all the forms known to men. The service was conducted by Ernest G. Nash, and the writer, longtime friends of the deceased and his family. After the services his body was laid to rest in the New Liberty Cemetery, among the remains of the loved ones to await the resurrection of the just. --Allen Phy, Gospel Advocate, July 8, 1965, page 447.
