Francis Albert Hazelbaker (February 15, 1878 - July 6, 1939) was an American politician in the state of Montana who served as Lieutenant Governor of Montana from 1929 to 1933. He also served in the Montana State Senate and was the Republican candidate for governor in 1932 and 1936, losing narrowly each time.[1] [2]
Hazelbaker was the Secretary of the Commission overseeing Montana's representation at the Panama–California Exposition in San Francisco (1915-7) and represented the Commission at the exposition. He had previously overseen the agricultural displays at the Montana state fair.[3]

Hazelbaker (1912-1990) also served in the state legislature. After Carrie's death of pneumonia during the Spanish flu pandemic, Hazelbaker married Lois Brown Brantly (1894-1972), the daughter of Theodore M.
