WORCESTER COUNTY

B. Wesson, of Springfield, Massachusetts, and of Franklin Wesson, of Worcester, both distinguished as inventors and manufacturers of firearms, the former being the owner at the present time of one of the largest firearm plants (Smith & Wesson) in the world. Mr. Harrington died September 3, 1879. His widow died May 20, 1903. For a num- ber of years after the death of her husband she resided with her son, Gilbert H. Harrington, in Worcester.

(VIII) Gilbert Henderson Harrington, son of Henry Henderson Harrington (7), was born at Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, April 17, 1845. He came to Worcester when very young and received his education in the Worcester schools. He in- herited probably from the Wesson family his apti- tude for mechanics and invention. His first em- ployment was with his uncle in Worcester. Frank- lin Wesson had been for some years a manufac- turer of rifles with a factory at 18 Manchester street. Here he invented and patented a shell- ejecting revolver and in 1871 went into partnership with his uncle in the firm of Wesson & Harring- ton to manufacture revolvers under his patents, the work being done also at 18 Manchester street. Mr. Harrington bought out his partner in 1874 and Mr. Wesson soon retired from business entirely. Soon afterward the firm of Harrington & Richardson was organized. His partner in this firm was Will- iam A. Richardson and the firm was destined to become the very large and successful Harrington & Richardson Arms Company, of which Mr. Har- rington's elder son is at present the head.

The revolver patent that was the foundation of Mr. Harrington's fortune provided the first revolver that ejected metallic cartridges after they were ex- ploded. In its original form this weapon held the market for a number of years. It was by far the most convenient revolver made. As the firm gained its reputation for this ingenious improvement and the excellence of its workmanship was established in the trade, the business grew rapidly. The plant was enlarged to permit the manufacture of other kinds of revolvers which were invented and patented by the firm from time to time. From 1880 to 1885 the firm was the sole licensee for the United States for the manufacture of the celebrated Anson & Deeley hammerless gun, a costly arm of English design.

When the corporation took over the business of the firm in 1888. Mr. Harrington, the senior part- ner, became president. In March, 1894, the busi- ness was moved to the present location at the cor- ner of Park avenue and Chandler street. Here the company first erected a four story brick factory hav- ing about forty-three thousand feet of floor space and costing $50,000. It is large, well equipped and modern in every respect. It is a model factory for its purposes. Several additions have been made to enlarge the capacity of the factory.

The product of the Harrington & Richardson Arms Company has been chiefly in recent years revolving firearms. All' styles and grades of re- volvers are made, from the cheap pattern with solid frame. from which the cylinder is removed by the withdrawal of the centre pin upon which it re- volves to the elaborate weapon with hinge frame and automatic shell eiector. The manufacture of the company's goods during the period of experi- ment and development was all under the super- vision of the ingenious and skilful president and his partner. The product of the company attained a high reputation for beauty, accuracy and efficiency. Mr. Harrington gave his undivided attention to his business, which he loved both as an inventor who

sees his ideas grow into practical and profitable form and as a manufacturer who has built up a Aourishing business. He refused all opportunities to enter public office, although he was not lacking in public spirit.

His only vacation from business was taken in short visits at Winter Park, Florida. About 1891 his health began to fail, but until a year or more before his death his trouble, a rheumatic disease of the heart, did not threaten his life. He was danger- ously sick in the winter of 1896-7 while in Florida. While he was able at last to return home he lived only till June 22. 1897, when he died after two weeks of critical illness.

He was a member of the Worcester Club. but of no other social club or organization of any kind. He and his family attended Pilgrim Congregational Church and he was a generous contributor to vari- ous charities. His home at 1014 Main street. one of the most spacious and attractive residences in the city, was a social centre during his life.

Gilbert Henderson Harrington married (first) Christine I. Dibble, who died February 1, 1875- One son, Charles H., died April 18, 1873, aged six days. He married (second) Charlotte M. Harring- ton, who died August 26. 1885, aged thirty-seven years, daughter of Isaac Sylvester Harrington. He married (third), 1886. Myrtis S. Sigourney, who was born at Oxford, Massachusetts. The Sigour- ney family is French Huguenot origin, spelled form- erly Sigourné, coming to America late in the seven- teenth or early in the eighteenth century. Their home in France was at or near La Rochelle. An- drew Sigourney was the emigrant ancestor of Mrs. Harrington. The family located early at Oxford, Massachusetts, where many of the Huguenot emi- grants settled. Mr. Harrington had two sons, both by his second wife. They are: Edwin Chester, born at Worcester. September IS, 1877: John Wal- ter. born at Worcester, February 21, 1880.

(IX) Edwin Chester Harrington, son of Gilbert Henderson Harrington (8), was born at Wor- cester. September 18, 1877. He was educated in the Worcester public schools and the Dalzell school in Worcester. He also took a course in Becker's Business College. Worcester. He had to assume large responsibilities early in life. He entered the factory with the purpose of learning the business thoroughly, when the illness and death of his father forced him to take up his father's duties very soon afterward. He was twenty when his father died. Mr. Richardson served at the head of the corpora- tion only a few months. He too died in 1897 and soon afterward Edwin C. Harrington was elected president of the corporation and has since been at the head of the Harrington & Richardson Arms Co., of which his father was a founder. The busi- ness has steadily grown under his administration. The spacious south extension and the large build- ing at the rear of the factory have been built. Some five hundred hands are kept at work regularly. Mr. Harrington has had the able co-operation of George F. Brooks in the management of the busi- ness. Mr. Brooks has been with the Harrington and Richardson firm and company many years and held the confidence of both the original partners to a remarkable degree. He is at present treasurer of the corporation. Mr. Harrington has pursued the same policy that made his father and Mr. Richardson so successful. and the standing of the house was never better than it is at present. One recent innovation in the business of the company is the manufacture of a single barreled shot gun. All kinds of revolvers except strictly army pat- terns are made at present and the product of the

WORCESTER COUNTY

factory goes to all quarters of the globe. The com- pany does a large export business. Mr. Harring- ton is a member of the Worcester Golf Club, the Worcester Automobile Club, Athelstan Lodge, F. and A. M., Eureka Chapter and Worcester County Commandery.

(IX) John Walter Harrington, son of Gilbert Henderson Harrington (8), was born at Worcester, Massachusetts, February 21, 1880. He attended the public schools and prepared for Harvard College in the Dalzell School in Worcester. The death of his father caused a change in his plans and he gave up college to enter the factory of the Harrington & Richardson Arms Co. For the past nine years he has been associated with his brother in the business. Mr. Harrington is well known in Ma- sonic circles. He is a member of a number of clubs.
