HISTORY OF LAWRENCE, ORANGE & WASHINGTON COUNTIES INDIANA" GOODSPEED BROS. 1884.
LEE HAZLEWOOD, M.D., one of the most prominent men and eminent physicians of
the county , is the third son of six children of
Reuben and Jane Hazlewood, and was born May 24, 1819, being one of the
oldest settlers of the county now living. The parents were both Virginians
who were taken early in their lives to Kentucky, where they were married
August 15, 1811. Their children were Gates, John R., Lee, Priscilla , Rhoda A. , and an
infant, deceased. The parents came to this county in 1836, and settled
near French Lick, and here the mother died about two years later. About
eight years later the father married again, and lived until October 20,
1857, when his death occurred. He was a member of the Reformed Church, and
a man of personal worth and high character. The youth of Lee was passed with
his parents, and during that time and until one year after his mother's
death he attended Lincoln Academy, Stanford, Ky. In 1838 he commenced the
study of medicine with Dr. Samuel Reid, of Salem, Ind., and later, after he
had begun the practice, attended the Transylvania Medical College,
Lexington, Ky., the Jefferson Medical College, Louisville, Ky., and the
Evansville Medical College, Indiana. He graduated at the last named
institution in 1851. As early as 1841 he began to practice at Valeene
, where he has purchased property, and here he has
continued since, often with more work than he could do, without
solicitations. He has accumulated an estate of 1,500 acres, and no man of
the county is better known or more highly regarded. He owes his success to
his own industry, skill in his profession, integrity and self-sacrifice.
June 20, 1843, he married the daughter of Samuel Chambers, but she died the
following year, April 9, 1844. September 4, 1853, he married Mary E.,
daughter of Samuel and Amy Harned, and two children came to this union:
George R., who now practices with his father, and Alice J., who married Dr.
William A. Cole. Mrs. Hazlewood died, and Dr. Hazlewood married Rebecca,
daughter of James and Martha Sloan, January 27, 1863. She bore him two
children: Mary F. and Felix W. Dr. Hazlewood is a Republican, and is a
member of the Masonic and the Odd Fellow fraternities. He has done much to
build up the county, intellectually, morally and temperately.10044
