2nd history:
I was born on June 5, 1897 at 12 o'clock noon at the home of my fathers parent Edward James and Annie Morrison on Crosby street Orono, Maine. Where my mother and father were living at that time.  I was given the name of Hazel May after the book my mother and father had been reading"Witch Hazel" and May for the name my mother was called.  The Dr. who delivered me was Dr. Clayton Bayard.  In Jan. of 1899 mother was called to her mothers home in Glenburn by the illness of her Father Edward Kent Carver.  Taking me with her hwere we stayed until he passed waway.  I being the only grandchild at that time he had me on his bed most of the time.  I can faintly rmember him on his bed a single bed which my grandmother burnt after he died.  My mother took me back to Orono.  When two years old my mother and father (Mary Annie Carver and Frank Morrison) helped build a 4 room cottage on the same lot and my grand parents and my sister was born there on March 18th in 1900 when  I was nearly 3 years old.  When they showed me my sister I said no she was a little nigger she was so dark and tiny as she grew she had dark brown hair and I being red hair and very light skin we didn't look at all alike.   I rmember the wonderful times I had with my granmother or gramy Morrison and my aunts and uncles as well as my great grandparents Hector and Mary Ann Morrison who lived in part of the MOrrison family home.  I used to spend more time with them than at home.  My grandparents, uncles and father all worked at the Orono Paper Mill and until I four years. We lived in that cottage for about 2 years and my father gave up his work at the paper mill and went to work as Farm superindendent at the University at Maine and fainly became instructor of farm machery, where we made our home on the campus in a large 2 story home on campus road. It was the first time we  had a bathroom and we loved the bathtub.  Our bedrooms were upstairs and we had a sercrate dining room, a large kitchen, pantry and parlor with piano and a store room.  There was 4 entrances 1-kitchen, 1 in bathroom, 1 in diningroom and one in parlor witha big porch conecting the dining room-parlor. We lived here 8 years.
         In the fall of that year I started to school in a one room school house on the banks of the Stillwater river (a branch of the Penobscot) on college rd.  with one of the Professors children.    I think back now and I can see the school house and the boys and girls I had as playmates especially two of the girls daughters of judge Dunn.  They lived on the campus they had a donkey cart and donkey and used to pick me up and take me on rides.  One day we went on a ride on the road to Old Town and the Donkey desided he didn't want to go any further and just stopped in the middle of the road.  The girls tried their best to get him started back but he wouldn't move so we had to leave him and walk home. Barbara's father didn't like it so he decided to do away with the donkey.  He got some striknine from the drug store and gave it to the donkey in his food expecting to find hime dead in the morning.  When he went out the donkey was livelier than ever.  So he relented and let Barbara keep her donkey. I went there for two years then was sent to a chool house near the bridge until I entered the 6th grade.  One experience I had there was one day when I  spent the night with my grandmother and was late in  starting for school so I desided I would take a short cut by crossing the river on the railroad tressle which would take me close to the shool.  As I got about half way across I saw the train coming toward me  no way to get off he tressel and no way to turn back so I lay down on the track between the rails face down and let the train pass over me a thing my uncle Ed the train fireman had told me to do if I ever got caught.  Believe me I never tried crossing on the train tracks again even if I would be late for school. 
        I spent many happy day at the college.  All the students treated me like a little sister.   While living on Campus Rd I used to visit the Fraternity houses and watch the boy play tennis and the boys would treat me to ice cream and give me candy and tennis balls.  Whenever my mother missed me she would call one of the Fraterny Home and alway find me especially the Phy Kappa Sigma. 
When I was 6 years old my brother Edward Frank Morrison was born June 23rd 1903 in that home.  I remember that day because I was sent to the Methodist church to practice for a Sunday School program and was sent home because I brok out with a bad rash and a fever the Doctor was birth my mother at that time and told me I had a new baby brother.  but I couldn't see him because I had the measles. As he grew older my mother used to let me wheel him in the yeard which I thought was just wonderful.  That summer was such a happy one until haying time.My father was injured while teaching the boys how to store hay in the barns.  He was in bed for several months and finally gave up his work entirely.  So in 1908 he had to give up his work there and we moved to Glenburn to my grandmothers farm to take care of my grandmother Carver and I started the 6th grade in the Glenburn school 1 room with grades 1 to 8 inclusive in a 1 room building.    The school house was on a country road one mile from home. Graduated from 8th grade and took the state board examination (2 days) which was required before I could enter High School.  I passed and I was sent to Orono, Maine to live with my Uncle Hector and aunt Margaret to attend the Orono High School in 1911 only went 1 yr.  I was taken ill with Erysefhlus and was guarenteened for several weeks then lost so much school I returned home to recover, but didn't go back to school instead got a job with a doctor taking care of 3 children and helping the Dr. in his office a $3.00 a week room and board.  After several months I left and went to work in Bangor for a family helping with children and with cooking.   While there my sister who contacted Typhoid Pneumonia and mother who was pregnant had a heart attact sent for me to come home  to help her which I did doing all the house work and taking care of mother.   And in 1913 my youngest brother Woodrow was born March 4th 1913 at 5:30 a.m. the nurse was sick so Dr. King awoke me and said I was old enough to help him deliver the baby.  Woodrow was under my care for 2 years before my mother was able to care for him.  When she was able to take up her work at home I got a job in the Dept. Store, Freezes in Bangor, Maine as a clerk at $6 a week for work from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. six days a week.  This was where I worked until I was Married in 1919.
     In another history she writes:  In 1916 my sister who was in Bango High Schol was taken with Thypoid Fever and had to take care of her and also my mother as well as grandmother Carver and do all the housekeeping.
        In the meantime I attended the Baptist church on Columbia St.  (Bangor, Maine).  During that time I lived at home with my father and mother rideing back and forth to work on street car leaving for work a tabout 8 o'clock having to walk to the care a mile on a dirt road part of the way through woods.  I remember one nite coming home at 6:30 or 7 in a bad snow snow storm.  It was so dark and the snow ankle deep I heard steps of some one following me so I started to walk as fast as I could the wind blowing so hard you couldn't hear only faint noises when I got home I was trying to tell my mother that some one had followed me when the door opened and in walked my uncle.  He had seen me get off the front end of the car and had called me but I didn't hear him.  Another experience I had while on the farm was one hot July or August day when I wasn't working at the Dept. Store I was with my mother and aunt picking wild raspberry's in a wood lot that had been cleared the year before about 1 mile from home when I was overcome with heat and was unconscience for some time.  Which I still suffer from when I gets too hot.  Another time I was a t my Aunt Susies resting and she took me out to pick wild blackberry's.  It was about 2 miles from her home we found a tree stump where we put our pails and.....(see did not finish the story)
Another history:
     I was married the summer of 1919 to Orlando Merrill Moor of Los Angeles California in the Baptist Chruch in Bangor Maine by the Rev. Pendelton.  We spent our honeymoon with my husbands Aunt and Uncle in Ellsworth, Maine.  Then came back to my mothers where my aunt had prepared a reception for me then we took a week of visiting Ohio folks then went to Wakefield, Massachusetts where we spent a week with our Aunt Annie Wiley then took train from Boton to Los Angeles arriving there at 7 a.m.  We went and got some breakfast at Boa's Bro. Resturant then to the Moor home on West 23rd st.  My husbands brother Frank and his friend were living there and was the house ever a mess.  Ants all over the kitchen and being my first experience with ants I didn't know what to do, but Olie took over and in not ime it was presentable and we began to look for clean linens to make up the bed but found none.  So Olie went downtown and bought some.  He hardly got back when I had my first experienc with eathquakes so you see I had quiet a funny welcome to my home.  The estate of his folks took over 2 yrs to clear up in the meantime my son was born in Feb and then the following Feb my oldest daughter Alma was born.
