Assorted materials relating to Hiram Corning Hazen. Includes two letters, one written to Hazen from his brother Chester Hilliard Hazen (1826-1899) in which Chester writes of Hazen's apprenticeship with a Mr. Devereux and of their uncle's lost dog (1847). The other letter is to Hazen's father Harvey Lord Hazen (1797-1874) from Hazen's uncle Howlet Hezekiah Hazen (1790-1860), who writes of his school subscribers in Norwich and Salem and asks for information about Harvey's schools (1829). Also included is an undated pastel drawing of a young Hiram Hazen (possibly a reprint), an undated photograph showing Hazen in older age holding a newspaper, and two newspaper obituaries on Hazen's death (1915).
