935. GEORGE CARDER HAZARD, born in Norwich, Connecticut, Oct. 18, 1817; he died March 5, 1840. When about eighteen years of age, he was thrown from his horse, receiving injuries that eventually caused his death. He was a young man as beautiful in person as in mind, with gentle, graceful manners. He was the idol of his sisters. A quaint and old-fashioned obituary notice, evidently from the hand of his old pastor, is here given as a tribute to his goodness: “ Died, in this town, on the 5th inst., at the residence of Mrs. A. B. Sherman (his sister), Mr. Geerge Cara/er Hazard, aged 22, only son of the late Mr. Carder Hazard, of this town. If there is profit or usefulness in comment, or a consolation in sympathy, in no instance can that tribute be more justly due than at present. The long-protracted illness under which the de- ceased sufl'ered for about four years, is well known; but the extraordinary fortitude and pa- tience, which he has exercised under his sufferings and confinement, is not only worthy of remark, but, for one of his years, of the highest admiration; during the whole of the time, and under all circumstances, he was never known to complain, but gave up his own will with entire faith and confidence and resignation to the will of his Heavenly Father, in full hope and trust in His unbounded wisdom, love, and mercy. The ardent sympathy of his human friends is suflicient evidence of one among many of a peculiar trait of his character, that of treating and speaking well of all, whether present or absent. His kind and generous heart, and gentle, manly deportment, have left a deep impression on the affections of a great number of friends and rela- tions both at home and abroad; and the grief especially of those of the family, from which he has been taken, can be described only by those who have a heart to feel. . . . Much might be said of the manly bearing and excellent qualities of young Hazard, but suffice it to say, in the language of another, ‘ The grave never closed on a nobler youth than George Carder Hazard.’

“ ‘ I :tay flat to gather the [one one: if earth, I Jpare not the young in their gay dream; af mirth, But I .rweep them all an to their home in the grave, Irtep not to pity, I :tay mt to rave.’ ”

§ 465. NATHANIEL HAZARD, 6 (Mayor George, 5; Governor George, 4.; Colonel George,3 ; Robert, 2 ; Thomas, I), was born in 1776; he died December 17, 1820. He graduated from Brown University about 1792. In 1818, he was a member of the General Assembly and Speaker of the House. In 1820, he was a Representative in Congress; he died in office, and was buried in the Congres— sional burying—ground. He was an eloquent speaker, and much admired for this gift by his contemporaries. There is now in existence a programme, printed by the order of the House of Representatives, of the funeral services, which seem to have been observed with great solemnity.

He, like all the sons of Mayor George Hazard by his second wife, was a man of fine physical development and great personal beauty; he had the misfortune in early life to lose one of his hands by the accidental discharge of his gun. The loss was supplied by one very artistically made of cork. This hand he used so skillfully that his wife never knew that the hand he offered her was removable until after her marriage. He married, November 2, 1801, Sarah, daughter of
