• Notes

  Azariah settled on the farm owned by his father. Commencing in life with but small means, by industry and economy he became a wealthy, influential man, and a thrifty farmer. He always took an active part in all the public movements of the town, was selectman seven years, a representative to the Legislature in 1850, and occupied numerous other offices of trust and honor, which he acceptably filled. His habits were those of industry, frugality and piety, being a supporter of the temperance cause and other moral reforms, and liberal in the support of the gospel. He was withal a quiet, peaceable citizen, and left a worthy and respectable family. He was also a member of the Masonic Fraternity.
