She lived all of it in Clark County; born Aug. 23, 1895, at the former La Center Hospital, to parents David and Maggie (Walden) Buchanan. Carrie's father died when she was 3 years old. Her mother remarried William Fowler. Memories of events in the pioneering days remained with her throughout her life. At seven years of age, she was sent home from school when smoke from the 1902 Yacolt burn blackened the sky and created so much darkness that chickens went to roost. She lived through the horse and buggy days and saw man reach the moon, noted her son Wayne Hazen, 81. Carrie attended Farther Lake area schools and, at age 20, married childhood friend Homer Hazen. The couple had five children, Dorothy, Harvey, Lynn, Wayne and Dale. Three survive her. Son Wayne lived next door to his mother on Hazen Road, part of the original 160-acre homestead purchased from an original homesteader by Maggie Buchanan's adopted father, Thomas McClellan, in 1870. Carrie considered the McClellans her grandparents because they helped raise her and her sister, Lora. In the late 1800s, McClellan built the clap-board house in which Wayne Hazen lives today. Carrie Hazen had lived in the farmhouse her father built in 1897 just one year before his death. McClellan served as county commissioner 1882-1884. Still visible next to Hazen Road is a former wagon path that was once an Indian trail. Carrie worked alongside her husband on the homestead, recalled Wayne Hazen. "She milked cows and bucked hay and did all of the things that needed to be done on a farm," said Hazen. He said his mother had been a social person her entire life, serving as a charter member of the Fargher Lake Grange and attending various north county events and social occasions. "I think that is the reason she was a Grange member," said Hazen, "so she could talk and visit with everyone." Carrie had enjoyed kicking up her heels at Fourth of July dances when talented farmers played fiddles. She loved to ride horses. She road a horse to Sunday school and church in Amboy, and on errands to the View store. A photograph hanging in her dining room shows her on horseback on her 90th birthday. Carrie and Homer Hazen sold milk to the Battle Ground cheese factory. They were married 55 years until Homer passed away in 1968. In later years, Carrie took two vitamins and heart medication daily. And she was "not above having a shot of schnapps or a beer or a mixed drink on occasion," said Wayne. At 100 years old, she still split her own firewood with a sledge and wedge because she could never hit the same spot twice with an axe, she had said. In 1995, Hazen said she had no longevity secrets, but advised, "live today and let tomorrow bring what it will." Carrie was interred at View Cemetery, La Center, with the Vancouver Funeral Chapel in charge of arrangements
