    • IN MEMORIAM DAVID HAZLEWOOD.
      An Appreciation by Rev. W. Deane, M.A.
      On July 20, at Epping, there passed away one whose name recalls fragrant memories in Methodist mission history. The writer refers to David Hazelwood, son of the missionary of the same name, who worked in the early days of cannibal Fiji. The latter was distinguished as the compiler, of the standard dictionary of the Fijian language. Though he died at the early age of 36, he was enabled to accomplish a work that has stood the test of time, and is still the reservoir for all who wish to make themselves proficient in the sonorous Bauan tongue. The debt that we owe to this assiduous missionary the Methodist Church can never repay. The Church will always remember the earnest application which gave Mr. David Hazlewood a good working knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, and of the science of language, preparatory to his making the dictionary. His intimate knowledge of the Fijians also fitted him eminently for his epoch making work. The Fijian Government, in more recent years, invited the late Rev. W. A. Heighway to revise the dictionary, a herculean task which he began, but was not permitted to complete. It is unlikely now that Hazlewood 's work will ever be superseded.
      Mr. David Hazlewood, of Epping, was justly proud of his father's reputation. Born in the year of his father's death, viz., February 11, 1855, he grew up in the Methodist Church, honouring his descent from Hazlewood, the missionary,' with a blame less character and reputation.
      Giving himself to horticulture, he founded the well-known firm of Hazlewood Bros, at Epping, which extends its operations far beyond this State. The writer frequently visited him, and found him to be a man of remark able generosity, and yet one who would on no account have his name published. He gave symtematically to missions in the city, charitable institutions, and the trust funds of the church at Epping, and always with the stipulation that no word was to be said about it. To know him was to give complete respect to one who was above reproach.
      Of late years his actual attendance was transferred to another church, but he never forgot the church of his distinguished father, and was always interested in 'its progress. In honouring him, therefore, the Methodist Church honours itself. His family has left its mark on the community in various ways.
      Three of the sons were soldiers ? Rex (A.I.F.), Arnold (Original Anzac, three times wounded), and Len (killed at Fleurbaix, 1916). A son George is an orchardist at Bathurst, and a daughter Nell (Mrs. E. Ray) is the wife of a well-known orchardist in the same district. Two brothers (George and Harry) carry on the horticulture business at Epping. Dorothy is the wife of Professor W. L. Waterhouse, at Lindfield, and Mary is the wife of Mr. Stan Carr, at Chatswood South, both prominent workers in the Methodist Church. Louise is unmarried, while Curtis died in infancy. Mr. Hazlewood married Miss S. L. Hodgson at Sydney on the 25th February, 1879, and this excellent lady survives him. IN MEMORIAM (1932, August 6). The Methodist (Sydney, NSW : 1892 - 1954), p. 13.
