178 7716 HAZARD FAMILY

commenced manufacturing coarse woolen goods, in company with Isaac Peace Hazard, at a place called Brushy Brook, in the western part of the town. This enterprise was very successful for a few years. Mr. Hazard then moved to Rocky Brook, and operated Thomas R. Hazard’s mills, in that place; here he was suc— cessful. Thomas R. Hazard was enabled to retire from business a few years afterwards, with what was at that time considered a fortune.

Jonathan Hazard then bought one of the mills on his own account, which he run until about 1 837, when he gave up the manufacturing business; and after one year spent in Newport, he bought one—half of a property in Narragansett Pier. At this time he ran a line of sloops to Providence, Newport and New York. The sloop Washington made three trips a week to Providence and Newport; the Point :714— diz‘b and Pcttarquamscutt sailed one each week to New York. These sloops were built and launched at the “Pier,” near where the Casino now stands, and were built by Captain John Saunders.

Mr. Hazard was an exceedingly quick—tempered, but also an exceedingly kind- hearted and sympathetic man. While scolding a miserable drunkard for his im— providence and neglect of his family, he would at the same time busy himselfin filling a basket with provisions, and to the last denunciatory word he would add, “ Come for more when that is gone.” He truly understood the meaning of the word “neighbor.” On one occasion, seeing a heavy thunder—storm coming up, and also seeing his neighbor’s hay, that was well cured and ready for the barn in danger of injury, and knowing his friend was away from home, Mr. Hazard called some men from his mill, and, taking his teams, went to the field and gath— ered the hay into the barn. When thanked for this kind deed, he said, “ There is nothing to thank me for; am I not thy neighbor ? ” His wife was a member of the Society of Friends, and thus his changing fortunes did not prevent his chil— dren from being all well educated in the Friends’ School in Providence. Jonathan Hazard married Mary Congdon
