General Notes: Husband - Cyrus Hazlett

---

In early life he was thrown on his own resources, and commenced grinding bark for Smith McKiney, of Hopewell Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, working for him through the summer season, and going to school through the winter season, for two or three years; then he went to Abraham Smith to learn the tanning business in Lurgantown, Franklin County. He worked for him for one year, when Mr. Smith sold the farm and tannery to David Miller; worked for Mr. Miller for a short time; left Mr. Miller and went to Shippensburg, Cumberland County, to work for Wm. McLean at his tannery; was there for some time, when Mr. McLean bought the Franklin tannery in Amberson's Valley, Franklin County, fifteen miles north of Shippensburg, owned by Benjamin Deford, of Baltimore, Maryland, one of the largest tanneries of that day. This was in 1844 or 1845. He worked as a journeyman for McLean for about five years, when Mr. Hazlett went West, and was absent for about one year; then returned and went to work at the Franklin tannery again.
In the spring of 1852 Wm. McLean and Mr. Hazlett rented the tannery at Roxbury, Lurgan Township, Franklin County, from Samuel L. Sentman, and went into the tanning business for five years, when their lease ran out. They leased it for four years more. During these four years Hazlett bought the property of his former employers, Abraham Smith and Miller, and when his lease ran out at Roxbury, he moved to his own property and commenced tanning at his own tannery, Wm. McLean furnishing him with hides. He carried on the business of tanning and farming till August, 1864, when he enlisted in Capt. M. G. Hale's Company F, Two Hundred and Seventh Regiment, Second Brigade, Third Division, Ninth Army Corps. After the surrender of Lee's army Mr. Hazlett returned home by way of Petersburg, Virginia, and City Point; took a boat down James River to Fortress Monroe; from there to Alexandria; was there about ten days when he received a dispatch from home stating that his youngest child had fallen in a vat at the tannery and was drowned. He got a furlough and went home, but too late for the funeral; returned back, when the furlough was out, to be in Washington at the grand review of the Potomac Army. In a few days the regiment went to Harrisburg and was discharged. He returned home in the latter part of June, 1865. In the spring of 1866 he went to take charge of Fraizer & Bros.' tannery in Newburg; did business for them for two years, when he leased the tannery from the Fraizers; carried on business for three years, Wm. McLean furnishing him hides. When the lease ran out he contracted with Mr. McLean to superintend his tannery. Then he moved to Franklin tannery, in Amberson's Valley, in the spring of 1871.
He was a member of Orrstown Lodge, No. 262, A. Y. M., and Newburg Lodge, No. 562, I. O. O. F., Encampment Roxbury, I. O. O. F., Red Men, No. 150, a member of the G. A. R., and, politically, was a Republican. He was not connected with any church particularly, but was a liberal contributor to all churches.
