General Notes: Husband - Wilford "Will" Hazen


He attended the public schools near his home and his first and only business in life was farming and stock raising. He assisted his father as long as the latter lived and then received the family farm by his father's will. He made many improvements on the place and has a very comfortable and attractive residence. A visitor would immediately note the heads of deer and moose which adorned its walls, and other trophies that were secured by Mr. Hazen himself in the woods of Northern Maine. He was very fond of hunting and spent much of his spare time in his favorite pursuit over the mountains and in different sections of Pennsylvania. He inherited this love of the sport, the family records showing that his ancestors were skilled hunters in their days, when the forests of Pennsylvania supplied plenty of game.
