Montgomery County, KY, December 6, 1848.  His father, George Hazelrigg, was
born in Bourbon County, KY, in 1822.  He followed farming successfully all
his life, and was for many years a magistrate in Montgomery County.  He was
a son of Dillard Hazelrigg, a native of Virginia, who came to Kentucky at an
early date, settled in Bourbon County, and afterward moved to Montgomery
County, were he died.  George Hazelrigg was married about 1845 to Miss
Elizabeth Green, who was born in Montgomery County.  James II. Hazelrigg was
brought up on the farm and in early life attended the common schools.  At
the age of fifteen he joined the Confederate army as a private in the Third
Kentucky Mounted Infantry under command of Col. Giltner and served until the
close of the war, when he was paroled at Mount Sterling, KY.  At the close

with Messrs. Aperson & Reed, was admitted to the bar in Mount Sterling in
1875, and has been practicing his profession ever since, having attained

and is regarded as one of the most able practitioners of his profession in
eastern Kentucky.  In 1874 he was elected city attorney of Mount Sterling,
and was re-elected annually until 1882, when he was appointed county judge
to fill the unexpired term of Judge E.E. Garrett, and was elected county
