Historical note:

            Thomas Pierrepont “Pierre” Hazard (1892-1968) was the youngest of five children of woolen manufacturer Rowland Gibson Hazard II (1855-1918) and Mary Pierrepont Bushnell (1859-1936) of Peace Dale, R.I. Pierre was graduated from the St. George’s School of Newport, Rhode Island in 1911 and from Yale University in 1915. He then began working at the Solvay Process Company, a chemical plant in Syracuse, New York owned by his family.

            In October of 1915, he enlisted as a private in the New York National Guard Calvary Unit, Troop D. In June of 1916, he was called up for active duty in the 14th United States Cavalry and saw service in the United States intervention in the Mexican Revolution. With the entry of the United States into the first world war, he was commissioned as a lieutenant, though he never went overseas. He was discharged in February of 1919, and returned to work at Solvay’s Detroit plant. He was transferred briefly to the Canadian plant at Amherstburg, Ontario as technical supervisor, and then called back to Syracuse in 1920 as the assistant to the president until 1923.

            In 1923 he moved back to Peace Dale and took a leading part in managing the family’s extensive investments and business ventures. As president of the American Fish Culture Company, he took an active role in operations, and co-authored "Modification of the Sexual Cycle in Brook Trout by Control of Light" (Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1951). He served as president of the Rhode Island Estates Corporation, and Peace Dale Offices Inc. He was also a director of several larger non-family firms, including the United Transit Company, Rhode Island Hospital Trust Company, the Narragansett Pier Railroad, the Caro Cloth Company and the Allied and Chemical Dye Corporation. He was a partner in the investment firm of Sturges, Chaffee & Hazard, and was personally involved in administering a wide variety of his extended family's estates and trust funds.

            Hazard also was involved in local and state politics, and was active in the Republican Party. He was the member of the South Kingstown town council from 1924 to 1931, serving as chairman from 1930 to 1931. He was a state senator from 1930 to 1932. He was nominated as the Republican candidate in the U.S. Congressional race in 1932, but lost to John M. O'Connell. He served as the Rhode Island state treasurer from 1938 to 1940. In 1948, he won the Republican nomination in the race for U.S. Senator, but lost the election to the venerable Theodore F. Green. In a more minor development, Hazard served as a chairman of his local Community Activities Committee for the U.S. Savings Bonds Division in 1953.

            From December of 1941 to June of 1943, Hazard helped manage industrial production for the war effort, eventually becoming chief of the New England War Production Board’s priorities rating and issuance section. On June 26, 1943, Hazard volunteered for active duty in the war effort. He was initially sent to Tunisia as a civil affairs officer, and later served in Palermo and Naples in the same capacity. In February of 1944, he was recalled to England for further training, and was then appointed Liaison Officer to the Chief Quartermaster of the U.S. Army. In this capacity, he played a major role in food distribution to the civil population of northwestern Europe as it became liberated. He was discharged with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in November of 1945, and remained on inactive reserve through 1953. In 1949, he wrote Civil Affairs: An Experiment in Reconstruction about his experiences.

            In addition to his public offices, Hazard was also active in a variety of private organizations, including the United Defense Fund and the South Kingstown Community Fund. He served as president of the Narragansett Library Association, the Community Chorus and the Eastern Trout Growers' Association. He was also a member of the Dunes, Hope, Wolf’s Head and Century clubs, and was an active tennis player and yachtsman.

            The following comes from a detailed description of the Peace Dale Office Building written by Earl W.G. Howard in 1962, and might serve to clarify Hazard's role as estate manager in his family's affairs:

"South End of First Floor. This suite is occupied by Peace Dale Offices Inc. and its affiliates. One organization pays $240.00 annually as rent for its part time employees. This suite was designed for P.D.O. Inc. and the affairs of Mrs. Mary P.B. Hazard, the R. Hazard Estate Inc., the Anna Hazard Land Co., etc., in the remodeling of 1929. It has a large walk-in vault...its own toilet and wash bowl, as well as a special mail receptacle box at the end of the corridor through to the Post Office. The so-called 'inner office' is occupied by Mr. T.P. Hazard. There is an outer office for visitors and the NE corner room is for a stenographer, with the inner office housing three desks."

            Thomas P. Hazard died on October 13, 1968 in the Veterans Administration hospital in Bedford, Massachusetts, after a long illness.

            Hazard married Anne Frances Cope on May 20, 1922. She was the daughter of Walter and Elizabeth M. (Kane) Cope of Philadelphia. They had five children:

1. Sophia F., born March 10, 1923. Called “Sia”. Attended Sarah Lawrence College. Married Phillip Barringer, 1946. Died April 4, 1979. Three children.

2. Thomas Pierrepont II, born 1925. Called “Timmy”. Attended Harvard and Columbia Universities. Married Jane E. Matern, 1951, divorced 1958. Served nine months in Europe during World War II with the 14th Armed Division. No children.

3. Mary P., born 1927. Called “Muffie”. Married Edgar C. Hoyt in 1953; married Joseph Conrad in 1965. Four children.

4. Anne Francis, born December 5, 1929. Married Elliot L. Richardson, 1952. Three children.

5. Oliver Cope, born December 7, 1931. Married Sarah H. Pell, 1961. Three children.
