Hazen Plummer was born in Milton, May 27, 1866, son of Daniel and Sarah E. (Clements) Plummer.
Father Daniel Plummer died of apoplexy in Milton, January 25, 1884, aged forty-eight years. He was a married farmer.
Hazen Plummer was one of the founding officers (guard or sergeant at arms) of the Milton lodge of the United Endowment League, when it was founded in January 1890.
MILTON. Teneriffe Lodge, No. 5, United Endowment League, was successfully launched on its career Tuesday evening, January 14, by Supreme Organizer, Benjamin Holt of Lowell, Mass., and an efficient corps of assistants. The following list of officers was publicly installed for the term ending Dec. 31: President, Henry R. Johnson; vice president, John W. Avery; counsellor, A.C. Willey; secretary, Irving W. Tuttle; financial secretary, Harry L. Avery; treasurer, Hattie L. Pinkham; chaplain, Rev. G. Frank Durgin; guide, F.P. Jones; sentinel, Charles D. Jones, M.D.; medical examiner, Charles D. Jones, M.D.; guard, Hazen Plummer; trustees, Charles E. Lord, J.D. Willey, S.M. Bragden. This new comer among the fraternal orders of Milton has our best wishes (Farmington News, January 31, 1890).
(The United Endowment League was “one of a number of short-term endowment benefit fraternals that were popular in the 1880s and 1890s and then went bankrupt”). The United Endowment League did not appear in the Farmington News after 1891.
Hazen Plummer married (1st) in Milton, March 14, 1891, Nettie E. Pike, both of Milton. He was a farmer, aged twenty-four years, and she was a shoe stitcher, aged twenty-seven years. Rev. John Manter performed the ceremony. She was born in Middleton, NH, August 26, 1863, daughter of John S. “Smith” and Mary M.C. (Cloutman) Pike.
(The children of Hazen and Nettie E. (Pike) Plummer were Alan E. Plummer (1892-1892), Marion Plummer (1893-1894), and Ray D. Plummer (1895-1968)).
MIDDLETON. Surprise parties have been numerous and the one at the residence of John S. Pike last Thursday night eclipsed anything of the kind that has yet come off. Quite a number from Farmington and also from Milton as well as all the young people of this town taking a part and all united in pronouncing it an enjoyable time (Farmington News, November 13, 1891).
Son Alan E. Plumer was born in Milton, April 18, 1892. He was the first child. His father was a butcher, aged twenty-six years, and his mother was a shoe stitcher, aged twenty-eight years. M.A.H. Hart, M.D., signed the birth certificate. He died of inanition, April 20, 1892, aged two days. His father was a butcher. M.A.H. Hart, M.D., signed the death certificate.
Daughter Marion M. Plummer was born in Milton, July 12, 1893. She was the second child. Her father was a McKay stitcher, aged twenty-seven years, and her mother was a housekeeper, aged twenty-nine years. M.A.H. Hart, M.D., signed the birth certificate.

Son Ray D. Plummer was born in Milton, August 2, 1895. He was the third child. His father was a traveling agent, aged twenty-nine years, and his mother was a housekeeper, aged thirty-one years. M.A.H. Hart, M.D., signed the birth certificate.
Father-in-law John S. Pike died of apoplexy in Middleton, NH, February 24, 1896, aged fifty-eight years, eight months, and seven days. He was a married farmer. P.J. Haskell signed the death certificate. (His widow, Mary M. (Cloutman) Pike, married (2nd), June 23, 1898, James H. Young).
Hazon Plummer, supt. of machinery (shoes), aged thirty-five years (b. NH), headed a Milton (“Milton Village”) household at the time of the Twelfth (1900) Federal Census. His household included his wife (of nine years), Nettie [(Pike)] Plummer, aged thirty-six years (b. NH), his son, Ray D. Plummer, aged four years (b. NH), his sister-in-law, Addie C. Edgerly, an assistant home keeper, aged thirty-five years (b. NH), and his niece, Helen P. Edgerly, at school, aged fourteen years (b. NH). Hazen Plummer owned their house, free-and-clear. Nettie Plummer was the mother of three children, of whom one was still living. Their household appeared in the enumeration between those of Lizzie L. Remick, a home keeper, aged sixty-seven years (b. NH), and Mary F. Bruce, a home keeper, aged fifty-eight years (b. NH).
MILTON. The nomination for Dr. M.A.H. Hart for representative by the republican caucus is conceded to be a strong one in all quarters. The natural republican majority in Milton is large and there can be no doubt but what the genial doctor will poll the full strength of his party vote. He is young, honest and able, and his friends in both parties will watch his legislative career with interest. The democratic nominee, Hazen Plumer, is also an excellent candidate, a bright, hustling business man and one who would creditably represent the town if elected. Mr. Plumer and Dr. Hart are friendly personally and have worked shoulder to shoulder for the good of Milton (Farmington News, November 2, 1900).
Malcolm A.H. Hart prevailed over Hazen Plummer, in the NH State Representative election of November 1900 (for the 1901-02 biennium), by 267 (66.3%) to 136 (33.7%) votes (NH Secretary of State, 1901).
LOCAL. Columbian Chapter of Free Masons welcomed guests from neighboring towns, in the meeting on Monday evening, among whom were the Hon. J. Frank Farnham and William Lord of Union; Percy S. Jones and C.H. McDuffee of Alton; B.B. Plumer and Hazen Plumer, J.D. Willey and Mr. Willey the druggist, of Milton (Farmington News, June 14, 1901).
Fred B. Roberts prevailed over Hazen Plummer, in the NH State Representative election of November 1904 (for the 1905-06 biennium), by 213 (54.1%) to 181 (45.9%) votes. Plummer was a Democrat, while Roberts was a Republican (NH Secretary of State, 1905).
Hazen Plummer of Milton had a driver’s license and an automobile (No. 902) in 1906. (See Milton Automobiles in 1906-07).
Mother-in-law Mary M. ((Cloutman) Pike) Young died of apoplexy in Farmington, NH, January 8, 1907, aged sixty-one years. She was a married housekeeper (wife of James H. Young). C.C. Rogers, M.D., signed the death certificate.
The Wachwannock Club met periodically for lectures, concerts, and other entertainments, either in members’ homes or at the A.O.U.W. Hall. Members mentioned in other articles include Dr. J.J. Buckley, S.F. Dawson, C.E. Kelly, and R.M. Kimball.
MILTON, N.H. The Wachwannock club met at the residence of Mr. Hazen Plummer on Silver street Monday night (Sanford Journal-Tribune (Biddeford, ME), March 1, 1907).
The Milton Selectmen of 1907 were B.B. Plummer, E.A. Wentworth, and H. Plummer.
MILTON, N.H. Town meeting Tuesday was largely attended. The check list was used in voting for selectmen. There was a close contest on the vote for first selectman, 138 votes being for B.B. Plummer and 136 for Hazen Plummer. For second selectman, E.A. Wentworth was elected by a large plurality over Charles Philbrick, and Hazen Plummer had practically no opposition for third place. Harry L. Avery continues as town clerk and Everett Fox as treasurer. The other officers were left to the selectmen to appoint. Two thousand five hundred dollars was voted for highways, which is considerably more than the law requires, it was also voted to raise the extra amount required to get state aid for permanent highway improvement. The other appropriations were about as usual. Fifty dollars was appropriated to exterminate brown-tail moths. The selectmen were instructed to sell such timber as may have attained its growth on the town farm and such money should be available for permanent improvements (Sanford Journal-Tribune (Biddeford, ME), March 22, 1907).
Dr. M.A.H. Hart aided the victim of Milton’s murderous lover in June 1907. He sent for Selectman Hazen Plummer and Chief of Police Fred Howard. (See Milton’s Murderous Lover – 1907).
The Milton Selectmen of 1908 were Edgar A. Wentworth, Hazen Plummer, and Charles A. Jones.
MILTON. The annual town meeting this year was an unusually quiet affair, no contest being made against any of the three candidates elected as selectmen. The only contest was on policeman, James H. Rines winning on the third ballot. The only matters outside the usual routine were the appropriation of $500 for a soldiers’ monument, of which there are already personal subscriptions and pledges of over $600. Five hundred dollars were appropriated toward the purchase of the machine for crushing rocks which they have been using this year. The officers elected are: Town Clerk – Harry L. Avery. Selectmen – Edgar A. Wentworth, Hazen Plummer, Charles A. Jones. Treasurer – Everett F. Fox. Constable – Hazen W. Downs. Police – James H. Rines, Hartley A. Nutter, C.L. Stevens. Member of School Board – Joseph Boyd (Sanford Journal-Tribune (Biddeford, ME), March 20, 1908).

Plummer was paid $44.85, for Fighting Fires “on mountain.” C.A. Jones “and others” were paid $34 for Fighting Fires “at West Milton.” The district schools at Milton and Milton Mills were equipped with fire extinguishers and fire escapes. (See Milton’s Tri-Echo Hand Tub Fire Engine, c1879-1941).
Hazen Plumer, a machinist (Un. Shoe Mach. Co.), aged forty-three years (b. NH), headed a Milton household at the time of the Thirteenth (1910) Federal Census. His household included his wife (of twenty years), Nettie [(Pike)] Plumer, aged forty-six years (b. NH), and his son Ray Plumer, aged fourteen years (b. NH). Hazen Plummer owned their house, free-and-clear. Nettie Plummer was the mother of three children, of whom one was still living. Their household appeared in the enumeration between those of Ernest Dickson, a machinist (leatherboard mill), aged thirty years (b. MA), and George M. Corson, a laborer (odd jobs), aged sixty-nine years (b. ME).
MILTON. Last Sunday afternoon Hazen Plummer was seen riding up Church street in an automobile drawn by a horse. Although the pace was somewhat slow, we think by the expression of Mr. Plummer’s countenance he thoroughly enjoyed the ride (Sanford Journal-Tribune (Biddeford, ME), September 2, 1910).
Hazen Plummer of Milton had a driver’s license and a 6-hp. Stanley automobile (No. 3758) in 1912. (See Milton Automobiles in 1912).
Stepfather-in-law John H. Young died of carcinoma of the stomach in Middleton, NH, November 14, 1915, aged seventy-five years, eleven months, and fifteen days.
Mr. Young. John H. Young, aged 77 years, one of Middleton’s prominent citizens, passed away at his home in that town last Sunday morning after a brief illness. He was a native of Tuftonboro but had lived in Middleton about 50 years, gaining the respect and esteem of his fellow townsmen and many friends. He leaves a son and a daughter, Louis Young and Mrs. Etta Leighton, both of Middleton. Mr. Young had served his town faithfully in the capacity of selectman for several terms and was town clerk at the time of his death. Funeral was held from the home on Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock, Rev. E.P. Moulton officiating. The remains were conveyed to this village and interment was made in the family lot at Pine Grove cemetery (Farmington News, November 19, 1915).
Nettie E. (Pike) Plummer died “instantly” from a “Fracture [of the] Base of her Skull,” when her “automobile turned turtle,” on Main Street in Acton, ME, September 14, 1916, aged fifty-three years, and nineteen days. She was a married housekeeper. Roland S. Gove, M.D., signed the death certificate.
Milton, N.H., Woman’s Skull Is Crushed in Accident Near Acton Fair Ground Thursday. Mrs. Nettie E., wife of Hazen Plummer of Milton, N.H., was instantly killed Wednesday afternoon near the Acton and Shapleigh Fair grounds when the car in which she and her husband were riding turned turtle after crashing into another automobile. The accident happened at the junction of the roads into the towns of Acton, Me., and Milton, N.H., and as the Plummer car rounded the sharp turn it crashed nearly head on into an automobile owned and driven by John Wood of Springvale, Me. After striking the Wood car, Plummer’s vehicle swerved upon a ridge and turned turtle, pinning Mrs. Plummer beneath it and fracturing her skull. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wood and Mr. Plummer and two other occupants of his car escaped with only a few slight cuts and bruises. This is the first serious accident to happen in this vicinity this season. Mrs. Plummer was about 53 years old. Dr. R.S. Gove of Sanford and Dr. A.S. Davis of Springvale were rushed to the scene in an automobile, but the woman was dead before they arrived. The body was taken charge of by Undertaker L.A. Hurd and removed to his undertaking rooms in Sanford and after an investigation the body was removed to her home in Milton. Mr. Plummer is connected with the United Shoe & Machinery Co., and was bound for Springvale, where he had some business with the Sears, Roebuck Shoe Co. (Sanford Tribune (Biddeford, ME), September 15, 1916).
FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT. The auto accident, in which Mrs. Hazen Plummer of Milton met with death, at the junction of Milton Mills and Acton roads on Thursday afternoon of last week, cast a gloom over the homes of residents and many friends in Farmington. Mrs. Plummer was instantly killed when she was pinned under the heavy touring car, owned and driven by her husband, which overturned when it was struck by the large car in which Mr. and Mrs. George Wood of Springvale, Me., were riding. The tragedy occurred near Acton fair ground. Mr. and Mrs. Plummer, Edward Varney, a young man who lived with them, and Mrs. Edward Hodge were bound for Springvale for an afternoon ride. Mr. Plummer was making the turn in the road at a moderate speed and was on the right side when he was approached by the other car which was hugging the turn on the same side. It is said the driver of the oncoming car made no attempt to swerve his car to the outside of the turn, as he should, and in order to avert a head-on collision, Mr. Plummer started to cross the road when the rear wheel of the passing car locked the rear wheel of his own car and overturned it, crushing its victim and Mrs. Hodge beneath. Mrs. Hodge received broken ribs and probably internal injuries from which she is now suffering but is expected to recover. Mr. Plummer and Mr. Varney received bruises and cuts which will not prove serious. Mrs. Plummer was formerly Miss Nettie Pike, the second daughter of John S. and Mary (Cloutman) Pike of Middleton. She was highly esteemed, and the entire community mourns with the bereaved family. Beside the husband, she leaves a son Raymond, one sister, Mrs. John Schlenker of Rochester, and one brother, John C. Pike of this village. Funeral was held from the Free Baptist church in Milton Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. A large attendance of friends and relatives and a profusion of floral tributes marked the service (Farmington News, September 22, 1916).
Son Ray Plummer of Milton registered for the WW I military draft, June 5, 1917. He was a student, aged twenty-one years (b. Milton, August 2, 1895). He was of a short height, medium build, with blue eyes and brown hair.
Hazen Plummer married (2nd) in Dover, NH, March 17, 1919, Grace C. (Card) Fogg, he of Milton and she of Dover, NH. He was a machinist, aged fifty-two years, and she was a bookkeeper, aged thirty-six years. Both were widowers. Rev. Robert W. Coe performed the ceremony. She was born in Dover, NH, circa 1882, daughter of Edcil P. and Helen A. (Whittier) Card. (Her father was a dry goods merchant).
HAVERHILL HERALD. Hazen Plummer, of our Heeling Department, has been granted a leave of absence one week, and at this writing some of the boys say, “there’s a reason.” Judge Knight does not hesitate to say that Hazen will return with a bride (United Shoe Machinery Co., April 1919).
Mother Sarah E. (Clements) Plummer died of chronic interstitial nephritis in Milton, February 23, 1920, aged eighty-three years, six months, and four days. She was a widowed housekeeper. John J. Topsham, M.D., signed the death certificate.
HAVERHILL HERALD. The employees of the Rochester Sub-Office [of the United Shoe Machinery Company], as well as those connected with the Haverhill Office proper, extend their sympathy to Hazen Plummer of the Heeling Department in the loss of his mother who recently passed away. She was eighty-three years old and was a woman of noble character and high ideals. Possessed of a charming personality, those who knew her considered an hour well spent with “Grandma Plummer.” She left three and two daughters to mourn her loss (United Shoe Machinery Co., April 1920).

ROCHESTER TAKES INTEREST IN CASE. ROCHESTER, N.H., July 17 (Special) – Hazen Plummer, administrator of the estate of the late Sarah Plummer of Milton, has filed a petition in Probate Court against John Quinlan, Annie Quinlan and Simon Kelley of this city, asking that an inventory of certain personal property, claimed to have belonged to the estate of Sarah Plummer, which was claimed by William H. Quinlan as administrator of the estate of the late Annie Quinlan, who was a sister of Hazen Plummer. This legal proceeding is to find out if the Quinlans and Mr. Kelley had any knowledge of what became of this property which was inventoried by William H. Quinlan as the property of his wife which had been sold or disposed of during his life time as an administrator of his wife’s estate. Mr. Quinlan has since died. Mathews & Stevens of Somersworth appear for the petitioner and Justin A. Emery of this city for the Quinlans and Mr. Kelley. One hearing has already been before Judge McCabe of the Strafford County Probate Court. Inasmuch as the parties interested in greater part reside here the case is of an interesting nature.

Air Line Worker Has Difficult Job. Tracing the ownership of the 1500 articles of personal belongings left annually by Pan American Airways’ passengers here is a real job for patient Ray Plummer, manager of the line’s lost and found department. Coats and cameras are the things most frequently left behind by hurrying passengers but the list includes a “little bit of everything” – from diapers to a jungle blow gun. The fact that travelers leave this largest of international gateways for all parts of the world makes Plummer’s task all the more difficult. Not only must he find the owners of belongings found at airports, he also has to try to locate articles lost “somewhere along the line” by passengers who may be half way around the world before they report their loss. About three-fourths of those who leave things behind return to claim them, some on the double-quick. The most relieved persons upon finding their property were a man who lost a brief case with $30,000 in cash and securities and a woman who left a five-pound package of Cuban sugar after rationing went into effect (Miami Herald (Miami, FL), June 23, 1942).
