Hazel M. Hutton was born May 30, 1899, in Charles Mix County, Wagner, South Dakota, the daughter of George and Katie (Wickersham) Hutton.
As an infant she moved with her parents to a homestead six miles northwest of Kadoka. She grew up on the homestead and received her elementary education in the Scotty Brown log house in that community prior to attending Kadoka High School.
She was united in marriage to Gordon Stout in June of 1917, and to this union was born four children: Roy, Bernard, Lynne and Pat.
They made their home on a ranch south of Philip for a short time prior to moving to a ranch on South Creek near the George Renning Ranch, north of Kadoka. In December of 1924, they moved to a ranch 12 miles west of Kadoka, which they operated until moving into Pierre in 1937. In the early 1940s they moved to Sioux Falls. While in Sioux Falls, Hazel worked as a house mother at the South Dakota School for the Deaf for several years. Later she moved to Rapid City where she worked as a cook at South Junior High School.
She was united in marriage to Dan Sandmeier on November 15, 1963, at Rapid City, South Dakota, where they have since made their home.
Because of health reasons, she moved into the Black Hills Retirement Center several years ago.
Hazel was a member of the South Park United Church of Christ in Rapid City. Hazel enjoyed her involvment in the Women's Circle and Altar Guild, which benefitted from the beautiful flowers she loved to grow. She was an avid bowler and attended several national bowling tournaments with her sisters.
