* The Company employs about 1200 men at all seasons; 200 of these skilled and well-paid mechanics. Their operations extend throughout the United States and in other lands. The Company is building an immense bridge at Hawkesbury, New South Wales, the contract of which was awarded them in open competition with the most celebrated bridge-builders of Eng- land, France and Germany, and aggregates $2,000,000. They have also in course of construc- tion across the Hudson River, at Poughkeepsie, an immense viaduct. It is a double-track railway bridge of five spans, two of 550 feet, and three of 525 feet, besides 3000 feet of trestle- work approaches, and is at the centre 212 feet above low water mark. Such is the stupendous work of civil engineering at this day.

HISTORY OF INDUSTRY.
5. EDMUND HAYES, son of Jacob and Ruth ( Hobbs) Hayes, entered Bowdoin College in 1844. He was accidentally drowned in Cleveland, Ohio. Aug. 2, 1848. One of his college friends, E. B. Webb, now (1887) Rev. Dr. Webb, of Boston, Mass., at that time wrote for the Bangor (Me.) W'hig and Courier as follows :
"With many warmly attached friends he spent more than three years in the successful discharge of college duties. Near the commencement of his senior year he left college to teach school a few months. While thus engaged as a teacher, he made so great intellectual exertions in other departments of study that he became somewhat debilitated and by exposure to the cold was suddenly prostrated upon a sick bed for some weeks. Although having par- tially recovered, by the advice of his friends he reluctantly gave up his studies for a while until he should fully recover his health. In the mean time he ac- cepted an agency from Sanborn & Carter, book publishers, of Portland, Me. Here perfect health soon returned and he exhibited such a knowledge of man- kind and such a comprehension of business operations as to win the entire confidence of his employers. It was in the prosecution of this business that he met his untimely end."
A published letter from Cleveland, Ohio, dated Aug. 3, 1848, con- tained the following statement :
" About one o'clock yesterday morning a gentleman who had just arrived at this port, from Buffalo, on the steamer Ohio, was walking the pier and by mistake, occasioned as some supposed by nearsightedness or by a peculiar reflection of the lights on the steamer Niagara, which was near, stepped off and fell into the river."
Owing to the darkness and confusion efforts to rescue him were un- availing until life was extinct.
An editorial in the Bangor (Me.) Gazette said of him :
" As a teacher he had few if any superiors ; teaching as he did, by example and by persuasive eloquence which was irresistible. Lessons under his teach- ing were no longer tasks, his mode of teaching being that favorite one of developing the mind rather than fashioning it.
He was an independent thinker and possessed an analytical mind which sought to discover the reason of things. He had a manly bear- ing and easily won the respect and confidence of his fellowinen. He had high and noble aims, and had his life been spared he would have filled an important place among men.
6. HIRAM HAYES, son of Jacob and Ruth ( Hobbs) Hayes, married Mary E. Newton. Having fitted for college, he entered Bowdoin in 1847, and graduated in 1851. He engaged in teaching while in college

and afterward. In 1854 he went to Wisconsin, where he married in the fall of 1860, and immediately afterward started for Washington, D. C. That winter he was clerk of a Senate committee of which Jesse D. Bright, of Indiana, was chairman and Jefferson Davis a member. He saw much of the rebel leaders, the Slidells, Toombses, Quincys, Masons, Benja- mins, and so on. All through the early ferment he worked away, in one place or another, in the departments as a clerk, at one time in the Interior, at another in the Treasury. Mr. Hayes was appointed captain in the Quartermaster's service in the fall of 1862 ; was commissioned March 12, 1863. But he entered the service in January, 1863, right after his appointment ; was assigned to the 2d Brigade, 2d Division, 2d Army Corps, in the Army of the Potomac. Soon after was promoted to Division Quartermaster ; in the fall of 1863 was promoted to the Quar- termastership of the 11th Corps ; in the spring of 1864 was transferred to the 4th Army Corps, Army of the Cumberland, and was Chief Quar- termaster of that body until January, 1865, when he was assigned to duty as a member of an examining board, having the duty to look into the supply service of the army, south of the Ohio, also to examine offi- cers as to their qualifications, investigate irregularities. Le Duc, Com- missioner of Agriculture, was also on the board. He continued in this duty until the fall of 1865, when, at his urgent request, he was relieved and his resignation accepted. His rank was lieutenant colonel, but the authority of that title in the quartermaster's service was equal to that of a general of a division, and the responsibility far greater, and the ser- vice as arduous ; the personal peril greater. He was at Antietam and Yorktown, in Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and minor engagements, east ; was in the all-summer's fight before the capture of Atlanta, and in the battles of Franklin, Nashville, etc. In his campaignings he forded great rivers, passed high mountains, and waded through big swamps with inter- minable supply trains. He rode two horses nearly to death and rectified a blunder (not his own), so saving an army. When a young man he published a key to a treatise on algebra, and more recently has compiled several works of a legal character. He is now a lawyer and resides in Superior, Wis. ; s. p.
HIGGINS.
The ancestry of those in Industry bearing the name is traced back no further than Richard and Lydia Higgins,* early residents in the town of Stark. Among their twelve children was Aaron (born Jan. 18, 1786),

HILDRETH.
DAVID HILDRETH,3 son of Paul and Hannah ( Merrill ) Hildreth,2 and grandson of Robert Hildreth,' was born in Lewiston, Me., Nov. 9, 1770 .*
* There is a tradition that David Hildreth was the first child born of white parents within the present limits of the city of Lewiston. Though some of his descendants are firm believers in the tradition, the local historian of Lewiston questions the authenticity of this legend.

GENEALOGICAL NOTES.
Nothing can be learned in relation to his early life or his ancestors aside from what has just been given. He married, April 22, 1792, Esther Moody (born in Waterborough, Me., May 16, 1770), daughter, as is sup- posed, of Samuel and Esther Moody, early settlers in Industry. Mr. Hildreth came to Industry about 1804 and took up a lot of wild land near the centre of the town, comprising the farm now ( 1892) owned and occupied by Charles S. Rackliff. While erecting a house he occu- pied the school-house at Davis's (now Goodridge's) Corner .* He sold to John Trafton, who came from Norridgewock about 1815. He then moved to the south part of the town, purchased land, and built a house on the farm now owned by the Mclaughlin brothers. This he sold to John Ramsdell in December, 1817, and moved to Gardiner, where he operated a saw-mill for many years. But little is known of Mr. Hil- dreth's personal characteristics. He seems to have been a gentleman whose opinion was held in esteem by his townsmen, and he is known to have been a captain of the Industry militia at some date prior to 1811. Again his name is found heading a petition of citizens in Industry, clearly proving him to have been a man of more than ordinary influence. Circumstances lead to the conclusion that Mr. Hildreth was a practical mill-man when he came to Industry. His wife died in Gardiner, Me., Feb. 15, 1841, aged 70 years, 8 months and 29 days. He died in the same town, July 12, 1848, aged 77 years, 8 months and 3 days.

* The author is of the opinion that this is incorrect. The Town Records show Mr. IIil- dreth to have been a resident of Industry, April 1, 1So5, when he was elected a surveyor of lum- ber. While there is no evidence that a school-house was built prior to the summer of 1807. Either the family occupied the deserted cabin of some settler, which seems probable, or there must have been a house on the lot which Mr. Ilildreth rebuilt after a school-house had been erected.

HILTON.
GILMAN HILTON (born March 10, 1775), came from Sanborntown, N. H., to Industry, soon after the incorporation of the town, and settled on a small lot of land at West's Mills north of the present brick school- house. He was a blacksmith by trade, but intemperate habits greatly impaired his usefulness as a citizen. His house was burned after living in town a few years, and he soon after began to rebuild. Before his new house was ready for occupancy he sold to Col. Peter A. West. Mr. Hilton then moved to the south side of the mill-stream and continued to work at his trade until about 1845, when he removed to Augusta. His wife, Polly Mason, was born July 16, 1775, in Tamworth, N. H. She was a sister of Moses Mason, of Industry, and also of Eunice Mason, wife of Rowland Luce. She was a member of the Congregational Church, and died in Strong, April 30, 1853, in her 78th year.

* Pejepscot Records. A record of births in town clerk's office in Industry (see V'ol. I., p. 25), made some years after the Pejepscot record, gives the month as Jannary, but does not give day of month. Both parents, and four of the six children recorded, do not have the day of the month on which they were born given on the Industry Records. Presumably these omissions were due to a ship of memory on the part of the person furnishing the data. Mr. Janus G. Elder, of Lewiston, who has given some attention to the genealogy of this family, writes the author as follows, relative to this matter : "The Pejepscot Records are clear, and give as the date of her birth, January 22; but just now I am confronted with another date. Her son, who has the old Bible, and whom I met this morning, assures me that she was born January 3. This rec- ord, he says, was undoubtedly made soon after her marriage, and was unquestionably as she understood it. The dates of the births of the other members of the family, so far as known, agree with those in possession of the families. Which shall we adopt? "
t The author is unable to account for this discrepancy between date of death and age.

HINKLEY.
EZEKIEL HINKLEY, son of John Hinkley, was an early settler in Indus- try, on the Thomas F. Norton farm, which he received of Samuel Look in exchange for one in Georgetown. Tradition says John Hinkley was a captain in the American Army during the Revolution and was killed in an engagement at Castine, where the Americans had a fort. He left three sons, Miller, David and Ezekiel. David died a young man, un- married. Miller and Ezekiel eventually became residents of the present County of Franklin, the former settling in Madrid, the latter in Industry. Ezekiel Hinkley was born June 14, 1778, and married, April 18, 1793, Eunice Spinney (born Aug. 23, 1768), daughter of Jeremiah Spinney, of Georgetown. He was a sea captain before coming to Industry, also a selectman in Georgetown. After settling in Industry he was delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1819, selectman and representative in the State Legislature. He was a member of the Free Will Baptist Church and a man much esteemed by his neighbors and townsmen.
