HON. HENRY T. HAZARD, 
 
the present Mayor (1889) of Los Angeles, is a native of Illinois. In 1854, at 
the age of eight years, he left Evanston, with his parents, overland for 
California, arriving in this city late in the summer of that year. Mr. Hazard 
graduated at the Law School, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, at an early age, when he 
returned to Los Angeles
and entered on the practice of law, which he has continued ever since. He has 
filled several positions of importance during this time, including those of city 
attorney, member of the State Legislature, mayor, etc. His public spirit has 
been evinced in many ways, but particularly in the erection of an immense 
pavilion bearing his name, on the corner of Fifth and Olive streets. In 1874 Mr. 
Hazard married, at San Gabriel, the third daughter of Dr. William Geller. They 
have no children. Mr. A. M. Hazard, the father of the subject of this sketch, 
who was long a resident of Los Angeles, died some years ago. Mr. Hazard has 
several brothers and one sister, who reside in this city.
