George N. Hazlehurst ’44

George died April 26, 2004, in Flagstaff, Ariz. He lived and practiced internal medicine there and previously in Phoenix. He was 81.

Born in New Brunswick, N.J., he attended The Hill School in Pottstown, Pa., and was active in dramatics. At Princeton he majored in biology, became secretary and then vice president of Triangle Club, was a member of Triangle's chorus, and was a member of the Chapel Choir, the Nassoons (in their formative years), and Charter Club. He loved singing.

George's roommates included Jim Cobbs, Al Sheridan, John Collins, and Dan McGraw.

After Princeton, George earned his doctorate in medicine from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons as a Navy ensign. He served as an Army captain during the Korean War, and later did research with the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Hiroshima.

George authored several books on the mind's effects on illness. He felt a deep trust in Providence and appreciation of family and children.

Princeton is long in his family. His father's cousin, Andrew Hazlehurst was 1904; his father was Robert P. '17; his brothers were Robert P. Jr. '40, and F. Hamilton '47; and his nephew is F. Hamilton Hazlehurst Jr. '73.

We'll miss George's warm perspectives. Our condolences go also to his wife of 57 years, Edith; children Ginnie Moore, Katie Collins, Mary Gustafson, Belle Knight, Monty, Laurance, and Victoria Moyers; 13 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
