George C. Hazelton papers, 1861-1910, 1922.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145784984

Papers of George Cochrane, a state senator, congressman (1877-1883), and attorney in Boscobel, Wis., and Washington, D.C. With the exception of a very few items the correspondence consists of letters from Hazelton to his wife and his son John, his law partner and associate from 1898 to 1910. The letters deal mainly with family affairs and business matters of the law partnership, but they also contain references to Republican Party politics, appointments, state legislation, and court procedures, local and national. During the Harrison administration Hazelton was attorney for the District of Columbia; letters recommending his appointment to that office include communications from Philetus Sawyer, John C. Spooner, and Joseph W. Babcock. A docket book, 1884-1910, a scrapbook of clippings, and manuscripts of a few speeches are also included in the collection.
