"Jamestown Past and Present" 1913

Laban Hazeltine was descended from the earliest settlers of Massachusetts, his ancestors being among the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Harbor with Governor Winthrop. He was a native of Wardsborough, Vermont. He pursued his medical studies under the famed Paul Wheeler, and also attended the medical lectures of Dartmough College. In the fall of 1814, at the urgent invitation of his uncle, Solomon Jones, and of James Prendergast, Dr. Hazeltine visited "The Rapids," and soon formed the resolution to make it his future home. With this end in view he purchased from Judge Prendergast for a consideration of $440, land in the locality of Blowers' house on the west side of Main Street. On April 6, 1815, Dr. Hazeltine once again started for Jamestown, this time with his wife. The progress was slow and tedious, as they had with them three heavily loaded wagons, and the doctor became seriously ill on the journey; so it was not till eight weeks later that they arrived at "The Rapids." Dr. Hazeltine was unusually successful as a physician, giving his entire attention to the study and practice of medicine up to the last week of his life. He died May 4, 1852.
