General Notes: Husband - Leslie P. Hazlett, Esq.


He came with his parents from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, to Butler County, where he purchased fifty acres of land adjoining his father's farm, on the line of Connoquenessing and Forward townships, and later bought his father's homestead.

He made the best of his educational opportunities, and after accompanying his parents to Butler County, Pennsylvania, he purchased a tract of fifty acres adjoining his father's farm, and subsequently purchased the parental homestead. He followed agriculture successfully for a number of years, but a large part of his fortune was derived from the oil industry, in which he was a large operator, being a member of the well known firm of Hazlett & McCullough. His farm property, which proved one of his chief sources of wealth, lay within the Hundred Foot Field operated by the Forest Oil Company, the Columbia Oil Company, Abrams & Company and Elias Barnhart. In later years his business experience extended into other channels, and he became the president of one of Butler County's most important financial institutions, the Butler County National Bank.
A Republican in politics, a part of his time was devoted to the public service. He was one of the school directors of his township for over twenty-two years, and he was a justice of the peace for five years. For forty years he was a member of the Masonic fraternity, belonging to Harmony Lodge, No. 429, F. & A. M. Formerly a Presbyterian in religion, he later united with the Methodist Church.
