On leaving school, about 1810, he returned to South Kingstown, and at once began to assist his father in business, passing the greater part of his life at Peacedale. He took a most kindly interest in the welfare of his neighbors there. He was constantly ap- pealed to for advice and assistance, and no one whom he could aid ever applied to him in vain. He possessed the confidence and esteem of all who knew him. He never sought political power or oflice, but in response to the earnest solicitations fof his townsmen, he on six occasions rep- resented the town of South Kingstown in the General Assembly. From the organization of the Peacedale Manufacturing Company, in 1848, he was president of the company, until he retired in 1864.. His brother, Rawlaad G. Hazard, was the treasurer, but the names of the offices do not indicate, with any exactness, the duties which each discharged. They divided the conduct of the business between them. After his retirement from active business, in 1864, he went to live with his sister at Newport. He was never married. He died on the second of March, 1879. He lies'buried at Peacedale, in the Oak Dale Cemetery, among scenes with which he was so familiar, and among the people whose welfare he had so much at heart.2
