Word was received here today of the death of Mrs. Sarah Selden Hazlett at Manville, Wyo. on the 21st at the advanced age of 90 years. She was the widow of the late Oscar B. 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 until the time of his death. She afterwards married Mr. Hazlett, and after his death two years later, she again made her home with her niece, Mrs. L. A. Williams at the Selden him in this city until last March 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. Hazlett at the time of her death.
