Summary
The Tilden and Hazard family scrapbooks were assembled by Laura Pelton Hazard. Hazard was granddaughter of Samuel J. Tilden's sister Mary B. Tilden. Laura Pelton married William Ayrault Hazard in 1885; the couple had six children. This collection contains photographs, clippings, letters, programs, and other ephemera and memorabilia related to the Tilden family and the Hazard family. The majority of the materials concern Laura and William Hazard and their children, including photographs that show the family at their home Meadow Hall in Cedarhurst, Long Island, as well as on vacation in various locations. Other material relates to family ancestry, Cedarhurst society, and William Hazard's polo career. Materials related to Samuel J. Tilden and the Tilden family are largely in volumes 1 and 2 and box 1, and include photographic portraits of Tilden family members; correspondence such as letters written by Samuel Tilden to his parents and sister while he was a student at Yale; and clippings such as political cartoons depicting Tilden.
