Born in Chester, New Hampshire, Hazelton attended the district schools and prepared for college at Pinkerton Academy in New Hampshire and Dummer Academy in Massachusetts. Hazelton graduated from Union College in Schenectady, New York in 1858, studied law, and was admitted to the bar in Malone, New York.
Hazelton then settled at Boscobel, Wisconsin where he became prosecuting attorney of Grant County, Wisconsin from 1864 - 1868. He was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate in 1867 and was reelected in 1869 and served as president pro tempore.
