NANNIE DOSS
Oak Hill Memorial Park, Plot 24 A is the last stop in the tumultuous life for Nannie Doss.
No matter how hard Nannie tried to find true romance her efforts failed. She seemed to find men who were a lot like her father, abusive, or they were skirt chasing alcoholics. Nannie couldn’t handle it and began to kill her husbands and other members of her family.
Nannie was born Nancy Hazel on November 4, 1904 in Blue Mountain, Alabama. Her parents James born in 1875 and Louisa (Lou) Holden Hazel born in 1878 were not much more than poor dirt farmers. She was the oldest of 5 children, her sister Dovie born in 1908 and Brother William born in 1915, 1910 census shows an Annie or Addie Hazel in the household with Nancy and her parents but she was not on the 1920 census. Could Nannie’s killing have started with this sister?
James was said to have been a hateful, abusive man and education meant little to him. He wanted them to work the farm with him. Nannie left school for good after completing the 6th grade. It’s said that Nannie could barely read or write due to her lack of schooling. Her siblings would suffer the same fate.
The Hazel girls didn’t have much of a start in life. And the girl’s future looked bleak at best. At the age of seven, Nannie and her family went on a trip to see family. It was Nannie’s first time away from the farm and on a train. There was a sudden stop that threw Nannie forward into a metal bar. One report said she suffered a fractured skull. Later, Nannie would blame this injury for her murderous behavior, extreme migraine like headaches and even depression.
James didn’t want the girls to wear make-up or dresses that might have helped catch the eye of a boy. Other kids their age went to dances and had sleep-overs the Hazel children were forced to go to bed early and rise before the sun in order to take care of the farm. James was afraid the girls would be molested by men. At least one unnamed source claimed it had happened on more than one occasion. By her teen years Nannie had found a way to sneak out of the house and meet local boys in town.
At the young age of 16 Nannie went to work at the Linen Thread Company in nearby Anniston Alabama. Finally she had somewhat of a social life. But even that didn’t last long after she met and soon married Charles Charley
Braggs. Who can really say if she married Charley because she loved him or to get away from her abusive father? In any case the two were married with James Hazel’s approval in 1921.
Nannie and Charley would add to their family between 1923 and 1927. In those four years Nannie would give birth to four daughters. It’s unclear whether Charley and Nannie moved in with his mother or if she moved in with them. Doss’s Mother in law was demanding, clingy and domineering. She would take up much of her son’s time and refused to let Nannie’s mother come and stay the night.
It wasn’t long before Nannie, with no real support system became the epitome of a stressed out young mother. Her husband disappeared for days or even weeks. It was said that he was a womanizer and ran around on Nannie. Between a husband who was hardly around and a mother in law who had never been married and was self-asserting Nannie’s casual vices escalated. At the same time she would go into town and run around with other men even bringing one of them home with her.
He came home
