102 The HAZARD FAMILY

for fear that some carefully nursed weakling might receive too rough handling. In the early morning, and in the late afternoon, a dark brown patch in the garden, if looked at steadily, would resolve itself into a long cloak and Quaker bonnet, within which was Mrs. Hazard, busily engaged in pulling the weeds from her loved flowers ; nothing that she ever planted, died.

For several years before her death she lived with her daughter, Mrs. Attmore Robinson, and as her grandchildren love to tell, she kept a little twig behind the tall old clock, with which she “ tingled” their fingers when disobedient. She was a striét disciplinarian, and often said, “ Children must be made to obey or they will end on the gallows ” ; the word gallows, as she spoke it, was a mystical word of fearful portent to the younger children, and they wondered what sort of a thing this was upon which they were to end their days. Another axiom of hers was, that children must be taught to work : “ A man who is ashamed to work with his hands, will never amount to anything ” was an often repeated assertion. She died

§ 4-73. RICHARD WARD HAZARD, 6 (Judge Carder, 5; Governor George, 4; George, 3; Robert, 2; Thomas, I), was born November I, 1770; he died December 2, 1844; he married Mary, daughter of Josephus Peckham. She died September 27, 1869. He was a very worthy man, a farmer, and lived and died on his farm in Matunuck. He was for years an honored member of the Baptist communion, and was always in his seat on Sunday morning, with a pew full of children. Late in life, when the children were stalwart men and healthy pleasant- faced women, the seat was always full, with Mr. Hazard at the head. His usual dress was a blue coat with brass buttons, but in the winter he wore a long brown surtout, with a high collar. This dress gave him a distinctive personality, making him seem like a man left over from another generation, and also (be it added) making him seem the best—dressed man in church. He had a fine face, fair, with blue eyes, — a face to be trusted. He was respected by his townspeople, possibly for negative, rather than positive qualities ; but he was a good type of the honest,

upright country gentleman. CHILDREN
