    It appears from Social Security records that Hazel did not apply for a Social Securtity card until after her second marriage, the first date on her SS record being August 1940.  It is interesting that her birth place is first reported as DeWitt, the county seat of Arkansas County, but a secondary acocunt or report has St Charles, where the West family lived and Charley's residence at the time of their marriage in 1934.

    The first name on her SS record is Hazel Audrey Hendrix.  The name West does not appear at all.  Her name was Riser when she died in California.
