Late Hazel Irene Chatel
"The death occurred at Scarborough this week of Mrs. Hazel Irene Chatel, wife of Mr. F. ("Dinty") Chatel, who is overseas with the A.I.F. The late Mrs. Chatel was married at Carnamah and resided there for a number of years, before taking up residence in the city, about eighteen month ago. Mr. Chatel, who followed the calling of a barber, enlisted for active service shortly after outbreak of war and was a member of one of the first convoys to leave this State. The late Mrs. Chatel, who was only 25 years of age, leaves a family of small children to mourn their loss. A city publication states that she was found by a nurse who summoned a doctor. A report by Detective-Sergeant Jackson was forwarded to the coroner, who ordered an autopsy of the woman's remains. An inquest will be held. During her residence in Carnamah Mrs. Chatel took an active part in the social life of the district, being connected chiefly with the Carnamah Repertory Club and the Carnamah Badminton Club."
