California to Reverend E.A. and Eleanor Hazen. He attended Los
Angeles Polytechnic High School, graduated in 1915, and attended
the University of California beginning in the fall of 1916. In
1918, Hazen was awarded his diploma from the University of
California Farm, College of Agriculture. He then moved to
Modesto, California, and became a commercial beekeeper. In 1920,
Hazen married Ethel Thamer Blackburn; their daughter Lorraine was
born in 1923. Later that year, the Hazen family returned to Los
Angeles, where Harry founded the Hazen Hardwood Flooring Company
in North Hollywood. Harry Hazen remained in Los Angeles until his
death in 1953.
