Rome Sentinel January 26, 1866
We are pained to announce the death of Mr. Nathaniel Hazelton, which took place 
at his residence on Stanwix street on Friday last. Mr. H. had been suffering 
for the past six months with the disease of which he died and for the past six 
weeks he had been unable to leave his room. His friends had long since given up 
all hopes of his recovery, and for a week previous to his death his physician 
had been unable in any way to alleviate his sufferings. 

Mr. H. had been an employee of the Rome Watertown & Ogdensburgh Railroad 
company ever since the first train was run over the road. His services have 
been valuable to the company and they, as well as every employee of the 
corporation with whom Mr. H. has served, will regret his death. A wide circle 
of friends deeply sympathize with his bereaved family. 

At the request of his friends a post-mortem examination was held on his body, 
from which it appeared that the valves leading from the heart was in an 
ossified condition, and which had evidently been so for some time, thelungs 
were also found in a very diseased condition, so much so as to exclude air from 
their air bells, and was condiered the chief and immediate cause of his death, 
the liver was so diseased as to prevent its performing its proper functions. 

The funeral services took place from the Baptist Church on Sunday morning last, 
and his remains were borne to the cemetery followed by the Roman Lodge of F. & 
A. M., of which deceased was a worthy member, and a large concourse of 
sorrowing relatives and friends.
