Frederick R. Hazard
Frederick R. Hazard, one of South County's most prominent citizens died at his home in Saunderstown last Friday after a long illness. Born on Dec. 19, 1891 he was the son of the late Frederick R. and Dora (Sedgwick) Hazard. The family had its summer home in Narragansett, and his father was president of Solvay Process Company which later became an affiliate of Allied Chemical & Dye Corp.
He attended Army field artillery and heavy artillery schools, and during the World War I, rose from a private to second lieutenant in the Coast Artillery Corps. During World War II, he became an expert aircraft observer and was promoted to the rank of major after being commissioned to instruct other air craft spotters in other parts of the country. He had earlier headed the Rhode Island Civil Defense aircraft warning service. A handbook which he wrote on aircraft recognition was distributed nationally during the war.
After World War I, Mr. Hazard lived in Syracuse and New York. He commanded an American Legion post in Syracuse and also served two terms as commander of the Eicke Tefft Post, American Legion in Narragansett.
He was graduated from Brown University in 1914 and after that year, obtained his master's degree. He was also a charter member of the South County Brown Club.
Mr. Hazard was a poultry raiser at his farm in Saunderstown, and was a leader in trade association and agricultural groups in Rhode Island. Among the organizations that he headed were the Rhode Island Agricultural Conference and the Northeast Poultry Association. He also served for several years as president of the Washington County Agricultural Society, sponsors of old Kingston Fair and its successor, the Rhode Island State Fair Association.
Mr. Hazard also was a prominent figure in both politics and civic affairs in Narragansett for more than 30 years. He served as Republican state representative from Narragansett from 1929 to 1931. Later he declared himself politically independent and entered the Democratic party. He served as town chairman from 1951 to 1954. Mr. Hazard also served twice as town moderator, in 1932 and 1946, and in 1956 headed the town's Casino committee which urged town acquisition of the site of the famed structure. He also served on the school board and the town budget committee.
Mr. Hazard's civic activities included chairmanship of the Narragansett Community Drive Committee and later the South Kingstown Narragansett Community Fund, Inc. In addition to this he was director of public relations for the South County Hospital and headed the South County Stamp Project, writing a weekly column for the TIMES on the subject.
After the 1938 hurricane, Mr. Hazard presented a proposal which come to be known as the "Fritz Hazard Plan." This plan proposed to relocate the town's business area back from the waterfront. It was renewed and modified slightly after the 1954 hurricane and received the widespread support of the town's residents. It failed adoption, however, when the appropriation came up before the town council. Because of his work in this area, Mr. Hazard was named to special commission after the 1954 hurricane to help plan for the redevelopment and restoration of the town's beaches and business area.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Rozelia (Belden) Hazard; two daughters: Mrs. E. Sheldon Potter, of Alexandria, Va., and Mrs. James S. Douglas of Tucson, Ariz.; two sons: Frederick R. Hazard Jr. of Hinsdale, Ill., and C. Michael Hazard of Wayland, Mass.; two sisters: Mrs. S. Foster Hunt of Providence, and Miss Katherine Hazard of Phoenix, Ariz., and 11 grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at the Chapel of St. John the Divine, Saunderstown, Monday afternoon. The Rev. Edward M. Dart, pastor, performed the ceremony. About 200 persons attended the memorial services. Ushers were Melvin E. Sawin, Elmer G. MacDowell, Thomas P. Hazard, Robert G. Caswell Sr., and Henry S. Newcombe.
Burial was held Tuesday morning in the New Fernwood Cemetery, Kingston, with Mr. Dart officiating.
Educated in private schools in Syracuse he graduated from Brown University in 1914 with A.B. and M.A. degrees and took a post grad course at MIT.
