Former Premier's Son Dies Recently in B.C. - A former Island man, Dr. John Francis Haszard, died recently in Kimberley, British Columbia (should be Vancouver), at the age of 74. He was the son of F. L. Haszard who was premier of this province 1908-11, and was later Mr. Justice Haszard. He died in Shaughnessy military hospital after an illness of two months.
Born in Charlottetown in 1892, he graduated from McGill University as a doctor in 1917. He enlisted with the Canadian Medical Corps serving from 1917 to 1919. He interned in Montreal General Hospital and registered in British Columbia, practising in Penticton until 1925, then moved to Trail as a member of the Trail Medical Clinic.
In 1928 he came to Kimberley, where he practised until 1939. In World War Two, he enlisted with the rank of lieutenant-colonel and was commanding officer of Calgary's 8th Field Ambulance.
Dr. Haszard went overseas in 1940 and was assistant head of Canadian reinforcement units in Aldershot. Later he commanded No. 16 Canadian General Hospital at St. Amere in France. During this time he was awarded the Order of the White Lion of Czechoslovakia, one of the highest awards this country gives.
He was demobilized in 1945 and then served with the Workmen's Compensation Board for a year as chief medical officer. In 1947 he returned to Kimberley and was instrumental in the establishment of the J.S. Haszard Clinic, retiring in 1965.
He was made a senior member of the Canadian Medical Association in 1963. Two years ago he was named Kimberley's 'citizen of the year'. He had practiced both in Trail and Kimberley.
He is survived by his wife Rose (nee Hartwig).
