Major league baseball player in 1902. Played first base for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Willard was the son of Henry C and Amanda Carpenter Hazelton.
He attended Thetford Academy, where he was a pitcher for the school baseball team. He later attended Tufts University (Medford, Massachusetts), studying engineering and continuing to play ball. He was elected captain of the team for the next three years. The Boston Evening Transcript of June 8, 1900 noted that "... for the last two years he has played first base, which he covers in such a sure manner that he has come to be considered one of the best college first basemen in the country."
After graduation, Willard intended to study medicine. In 1901, he contracted to play baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals. Some accounts suggest he intended to use the money for medical school, and his interest in that earned him the nickname "Doc." His career in the big leagues was short, but he remained active in the sport until 1917. Willard played in the Northern League, and coached first at the University of Vermont and later at Tufts.
In 1910, Willard worked as an automobile salesman in Manhattan, New York. He married Emma Beach on July 14,1912 in Burlington, Vermont. They had one daughter.
In 1930, Willard and Emma were listed as Guests at the Hotel Vermont in Burlington. Willard was working as a 'commercial traveler' of securities.
