MILLINOCKET – Hazen Howard, 94, passed away Monday, Nov. 21, 2005, at his home on Pleasant Street. He was born March 13, 1911, in Island Falls, the son of James and Nettie (Craig) Howard. Hazen, known as the “Iceman” in the late 1940s, sold ice from house to house. He then went on to work for Great Northern Paper Company, retiring in 1973.
