CommentN of JM006 & W of JM005 and adjacent to both. There are five generations of Hazards buried in the Hazard Cemetery. Thomas Hazard established the burial ground on his farm when he buried his wife here, in 1807. A relative newcomer, he owned land on both sides of Eldred Avenue and lived in the old farmhouse that still stands on the south side of the road. Members of his family continued to live there for 150 years.
