Arnold Hazeland (ca. 1914)

Biography

He was born at Birkrem in Rogaland, Norway. He was a son of John Hazeland (1838-1889) and his wife Serine Larsen Vigesaa (1832-1893). His father was a translator and an English language teacher.

Hazeland passed his examen artium in 1876 and graduated from the Royal Frederick University with the cand.jur. degree in 1881. He was a deputy judge, junior solicitor and then attorney in Kristiania (now Oslo) from 1890 to 1907.[2]

In 1907, he settled in Strinda. He became an assessor at Trondheim in 1907, and served as district stipendiary magistrate in Søndre Gudbrandsdalen from 1915 to 1919, then Supreme Court Justice from 1919 to 1929.[2]

He was also elected to Kristiania city council in 1898.[2] In the 1909 parliamentary election he stood for his party in the constituency of Strinda. He was pitted against Liberal candidate Paul Andreas Olsen Fjermstad (1841-1921) and finished second with 1,052 against 1,096 votes. There was a second round of voting, in which the Conservative candidate, Even Larsen Loreng (1852-1942) edged out the other two with Hazeland in third.[3] In 1912 he won the first round against both Fjermstad and Loreng, but Fjermstad prevailed in the second round.[4] In 1915 he stood in the constituency of the Market towns of Hedmark and Oppland counties (Lillehammer, Hamar, Gjøvik og Kongsvinger), but Axel Thallaug (1866–1938) from Lillehammer carried the constituency already in the first round.[5]

Personal life

In 1893 he married Anna Schjølberg, a sister of judge Rasmus Schjølberg (1860-1943). They were the parents of four children including Arnold Hazeland Jr. (1900–1977) who was a civil servant, attorney and judge. He died in November 1945 and was buried at Vår Frelsers gravlund. [6][7]
