Previous to the~Civil War, General Hazard was engaged in busi— ness, but he was one of the first to offer his services to'his country. He was com— missioned first lieutenant, First Rhode Island Light Artillery, August 8, I861, and has a long and honorable war record. At Fredericksburg, his battery was or— dered into a position of extreme danger. General D. N. Crouch, the major—gen- eral commanding, made the following report:—

“ Never men fought more gallantly. Never before, I believe, has artillery so far advanced in plain sight, without cover, against an intrenched enemy. The objeét of the daring enterprise was accomplished. The guns were ultimately withdrawn, without the loss ofa single piece; and Battery B, First Regiment Rhode Island Artillery, Captain John G. Hazard commanding, was placed upon record.” ‘ He adds (December 13, 1862): “While Humphreys was at work, Getty’s di— vision of Wilcox’s corps was ordered, about three o’clock, to charge on our left, by the unfinished railroad. I could see the men were being dreadfully cut up, al-
