HISTORY OF JAY, MAINE
the town. They were large and enterprising farmers and were prominent in all town affairs. Gustavus, son of Elisha, married Anna Merritt, and was the first to open a general store at North Jay, which he conducted for several years.
Major Ebenezer Kyes, son of Elisha, was born in 1842. He fitted for college in Wilton Academy, and entered Bowdoin College, where he graduated in the class of 18 -. At the breaking out of the Civil War he enlisted in the 20th Regi- ment Maine Volunteers, being promoted to rank in the 31st and 32d Regiments as Brevet Major. After the close of the war he studied law and for some years practised in Lewiston, holding at times several official positions. He then returned to Jay. In 1875 he was chosen to the state senate from Franklin County. He was a member of the school board and held other important offices. He was married to Catharine Coolidge.
Capt. Edward Richardson, from Massachusetts, came to Jay in 1794. He was one of the minutemen who fought the British at Concord, and afterwards served in the Continental Army through the Revolutionary War. He settled on what has been called the John Richardson place, in the bend of the river. He was one of the foremost citizens of the town, a justice of the peace, and was frequently called upon to write legal documents and perform marriage ceremonies. At the laying of the corner-stone of Bunker Hill Monument he and his brother Moses were among the honored soldiers who rode in state in the triumphal parade. His wife was Lucinda Goding. They had four sons. John, the eldest, remained on the old homestead, living in the large, roomy house which is still in the family name. He was a forehanded farmer and made the cultivating of apples and other fruits a specialty. Edward, the second son of Captain Edward, built a home for himself on a part of his father's estate. Two of his sons became promi- nent merchants in Boston. Ezekiel, the third son of Captain

Edward, built himself a house and store on Jay Hill, as already noted.
The Aaron Thompson family have had a somewhat remark- able history for business enterprise. Aaron was the son of Alexander Thompson, who settled in East Jay in the early history of the town. He was born in 1789 and on reaching his majority married Avis Fuller, who was born in 1809. They very soon after marriage made their way through the unbroken forest afoot, by spotted trees, some miles distance from her home, to what is now the Thompson homestead, carrying with them a Dutch oven and frying-pan and leading a cow. They built a cabin, and after clearing a portion of the land they planted a nursery and commenced setting out an orchard. Many of the trees are still alive and productive. The log cabin soon gave place to a substantial frame building, in which the Thompson brothers were reared. In 1891 this building was burned. A modern house was built in 1892. This house was burned in 1911, and has now been replaced by one of the finest residences in the county. Ten children were born to the couple.
Oliver P., the eldest son, remained at home till he was twenty years old. He then packed all his worldly goods in a bandanna handkerchief and with a cousin of his walked to Livermore Corner, where he took stage to Portland and embarked on a boat for Boston. From there he walked to Sherborn, twenty miles distant. There he hired out to a farmer for six months at eight dollars a month. His employer was an Englishman who was familiar with the straw industry in the old country. He very soon commenced the straw business in Sherborn, later transferring the business to South Framingham and employing Oliver as assistant or clerk. It was thus that Oliver was started in this industry which he carried on so successfully in South Framingham and Holliston. He afterwards went

to Iowa, where he acquired a large fortune in the banking business.
The Thompson brothers have all been successful in their varied enterprises. Samuel went early to Manchester, N.H., where he was employed as civil engineer and overseer in one of the large mills. From there he went to San Francisco, where he distinguished himself by building a large gas plant and in other municipal enterprises.
Kelsey Thompson, born in 1841, has been in California since he left the home. For many years he was in the employ of the government as forester. In later years he has cultivated an orange orchard.
Gilbert has been engaged in the straw business.
Wallace first settled in Minneapolis, but after a two years' residence went to Florida, where he has a large orange orchard.
A. Smith Thompson has always kept his residence on the old homestead, though he is often abroad attending to business enterprises. He is deeply interested in all town affairs and is a prominent man in town. He enjoys his splendid home, which is an honor to the town and a fitting memorial of the Thompson family.
Rev. Charles A. Hayden was born in Boston, Mass. Soon after his birth his parents came to Jay, where his early life was passed. Very early in life he developed a taste for learning and a fluency of speech. When but a few years old he was known to commit to memory long poems and deliver them at the village school with fervid eloquence. As he grew older he availed himself of every opportunity to acquire an education. For several years after arriving at manhood he was a very acceptable and pleasing public speaker. Feeling it his duty to enter the gospel ministry, he became a student in the Boston School for the Ministry, a school that afterwards united with the Harvard Theological Seminary. He has been a prominent

Universalist clergyman in Maine and Massachusetts for many years, holding pastorates in Lawrence, Mass., five years; Gardiner, Maine, two years; Auburn, nine years; Augusta, fourteen years. He is now in Oakland, Maine, where he has been for four years. In his early life he married Miss Ormsbury. They have two sons and one daughter. Dr. L. B. Hayden is a practising physician in Livermore Falls, and Prof. Philip M. Hayden, teacher of modern languages in Tufts College.
The Niles family was early on record in this country, the name being first spelled Kniles. John Niles, the founder of the family, came from Wales about 1634 and located in Bay Colony on or near the Neponset River, now known as Dorchester. He afterward moved to Randolph, where Veranus was born. His father having died, the widow Niles moved to Jay, where she afterward married Nathaniel Jackson, one of the early settlers, who had taken up a farm near the quarries at North Jay. In due time Veranus married Mehitable Harris, and here were born their nine children, one dying in infancy. Veranus, the father of the Niles brothers, was a large farmer, an extensive dealer in cattle and real estate, and an honored citizen of the town. Sullivan, the eldest son, remained on the home farm till of age, when he went to Boston and worked in Faneuil Hall Market. He afterward engaged in the packing business, taking into company with him his brothers J. Harris and Louville. In July 1896, this firm was merged into the Boston Packing and Provision Company, Sullivan being made vice-president. He was a member of the Chamber of Com- merce. He was thrice married. He died in 1910, leaving a widow.
J. Harris and Louville Niles, following in the footsteps of their older brother, have been prominent merchants in Boston and have greatly prospered in their business affairs. They are now with their sons engaged in the brokerage business at No.

HISTORY OF JAY, MAINE
60 State Street, Boston. Eugene, the younger son, is a stirring business man in New Faneuil Hall Market, where he is showing the same enterprise and push as his older brothers.
Silas H. and his sister, Miss Eliza have remained on the old homestead in Jay. Mr. Niles has kept a large general store for many years, is an extensive real estate dealer, and is the president of the Livermore Falls Trust and Banking Company. He has represented the town in the state legislature and is a prominent man in all town affairs.
Miss Eliza is a leading member in the Universalist church at North Jay and with her brothers has done very much in promoting its interest and welfare.
' The Niles family have a most honorable record for business ability and integrity in their commercial dealings.
The Hyde family are descendants of Jonathan Hyde, who came from England to Massachusetts in the early history of the colonies. One of his descendants was Joseph Hyde, a Revolutionary soldier, who came from Watertown, Mass., and settled in Jay on a lot of land near Stone's Corner about the year 1800. His son Sebes remained on this farm until his death, which occurred in 1848, at the age of seventy. He married Rebecca Ball. They had twelve children. The two sons, Seaborn, who was named after an ancestor born on the sea voyage to America, and Joseph, became successful business men in Boston.
Seaborn in early life commenced trade on Jay Hill in a country store. He very soon after began to send apples and other produce to Boston markets. In a few years he removed to Boston, where he commenced a commission business at 22 Market Street, taking into partnership his brother Joseph, under the name of S. J. & J. S. Hyde. This partnership was afterward dissolved and his son-in-law, Thomas Heber Wheeler, and his son, S. Everett Hyde, became his partners under the name of Hyde, Wheeler Company.
62
HISTORY OF JAY, MAINE
In his latter years, Seaborn Hyde withdrew from the business, but the firm continued under the same name, and the branch house, known as T. H. Wheeler Company, 98-101 Clinton Street, was established, the two companies conducting a very large business. On his retirement, Seaborn came back to Jay and engaged in trade with Stillman Noyes, Jr. He afterward returned to Boston. His death occurred at Revere, Mass., in 1886.
In concluding the sketches of the lives and anecdotes of those who lived in Jay in its early history, I wish to add that there are others who are equally worthy of mention but of whom I have been unable to gain the proper information that would justify me in placing their names in the history. And of those of whom I have written I may add that in some cases failing to obtain the facts concerning their lives and occupations I may have failed to do them justice. But for several months I have sought all possible means of informing myself, aided by my own personal recollections, and I feel justified in saying that I have written what I supposed to be facts unbiased by personal prejudices.
