lged so years and 10 months. Funeral o.
services were held at his late home in 81
North Milton OH Monday morning, and Il
the remains were transmitted to Milford q
and inhuned in the NJ +. Cemetery of t;
that town. David Hazard was native $
of Milford, having been born there Sep f
TENDER IS, IS4I. When IS years of age, n
with his parents John A. aHd Sarah P. t
Hazard, he removed to Milton. Shortly L
after his removal to Milton the Civil \
War broke out, and Mr.. Hazards pa (
triotism forced him to enlist His choice ,
of service being in the nth U. s. Infan- !
try. His merits as a soldier were con- I
spicuous, and in those stormy DAYS when j
worth was acknowledged, promotions al
ways followed brave actions. During
the Peninsula campaign he was promoted
to first lieutenant, and afterward to cap
tain At period in his service, he was
detailed as recruiting officer at Buffalo,
n. y; Springfield, Mass, Ogdeuburg,
N. Y, land other places. He has often
talked with us about those days, and
laughed at the follies of his superior Off
GERS, who, many of them, made them
selves ridiculous by trying to put on style. /
In 1866 Mr.. Hazard resigned his COM
mission and returned to Milton His lat |
ter life has been quietly spent in the at
fractions of home. He never married,
but has lived alone with his mother dur
ing the last several years, enjoying him
self in literary pursuits and trucking. He
was decidedly home man, and was sell
dom seen on the street unless he had bus
mess, or, of an evening when he went to
the postoffice after his mail. In politics
he was a Regular Republican; and in
1898 was elected representative from the
10th Representative District by a coali-
ton of both factions of the Republican
party. At the session of the Legislature
i'll 1899, he refused to receive a free pass
on the railroad, bnt paid his fare, and was
under no obligation to any monopoly. In
-. many local Offices that he has held he has
satisfied his constituents that he was an
honest man, and did his duty as he under
5 stood it, to the best interests of the town
: and to the greatest number represented.
+ Mr.. Hazard was a man of fine military
; bearing, and his character for morality
= was unexcelled. Being splendid con-
q versationalist and possessed q fund OF
l. information, obtained no less by study
II than by experience, he could charm hi:
1t hearers for hours by the recital of Incl
$. dents in his own life. But this man o.
$ apparent good health and robust consti
t. tuition, one week before his death is gone
lie another one of the Nations defenders
er laid to rest on the eternal camping
ne ground until the final reville of the las
day. Requiescat in pace.
