Word was received here on the 25th of the death of Mrs. Sarah Selden-Hazlett at Manville, Wyo. at the advanced age of 90 years. Mrs. Selden was the widow of the late Oscar H. Selden, who was murdered at Manville on August 15, 1887. She, with her husband, were old pioneers of Omaha and important factors in the early history of the city, arriving here in 1854. She was the mother of the late Perry Selden, editor of the Blair Pilot, with whom she made her home after the death of her husband until her marriage to Mr. Hazlett, and at his death she again made her home with her niece, Mrs. L. A. Williams at the Selden home in Blair until about a year ago when she returned to Manville to make her home with her daughter and only child, Mrs. W. A. Brown. Mr. and Mrs. Selden were the possessors of much valuable property in Omaha at one time, some of which was still owned by Mrs. Selden at the time of her death.
