Genealogy of the Hazen family: eight American generations
Get PDFPreface
The pages that follow are to be regarded as merely an attempt to put in permanent form the genealogical material that has fallen into my hands, with the hope that it may be useful to generations following, and possibly may encourage some one of the tribe to prosecute the work until there shall be a complete genealogy of the Hazen Family.
A considerable portion of the facts here given was furnished by my father, Rev. Reuben S. Hazen, and has been in my hands for many years. I am indebted to Rev. H. A. Hazen, of Boston, Mass., and H. A. Hazen, Esq., Washington, D. C., for much material, and for correction of that already in my possession.
If those to whom a copy of this may be sent will send me such information as may be in their possession. with regard to the present or to past generations of the family, not herein contained, it will be carefully preserved, and possibly used at some future time for the enlargement of the work.

10th Annual Report of the Temporary Home for Women and Children
Get PDFAs the annual report of the Temporary Home for Women and Children is again due, we realize that this year completes its first decade. It is with grateful hearts that its managers acknowledge the success that attends the work. Though little discouragements may have come, still the progress has been steady, and through the shadows we have seen the sunshine, and with faith in the Divine leader have looked cheerfully forward and upward.
Those who visit the Home cannot but realize to some extent the untiring care which is necessary to attend properly to all the bodily wants of its many inmates, as well as to give wise and tender counsel to those young women, whose sad history brings them within its walls.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1012/thumbnail.jp

Campobello: An Historical Sketch
Get PDFIntroduction
The mysterious charms of ancestry and yellow parchment, of petitions to the admiralty and royal grants of land, of wild scenery and feudal loyalty, of rough living and knightly etiquette, have long clustered round a little island off the coast of Maine, called on the charts Passamaquoddy Outer Island, but better known under the more pleasing name of Campobello.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1172/thumbnail.jp
