In winter 1855, a Mrs. Patterson, who lived west of Sugar Creek, died of apoplexy. Mourners climbed the steep hill of Hazelwood Cemetery, and they laid sod over her grave after a solemn funeral, making hers the first burial in Hazelwood. Sometime after the burial, prowling wolves desecrated Mrs. Patterson’s grave. Outraged men trapped the wolves and wore their fur. <br />(Sources: 1.
