in the lobster canning business on the coast of Maine, and in
the oyster business on the Maryland coast. In 1864 he
went to California and formed a copartnership with William
Hume, and established the first salmon canning factory on
the Pacific coast, at Sacramento, under the firm name of
Hapgood & Co. Here they carried on the salmon canning
business for two years. About this time they heard much
of the great quantities of salmon that were found in the
Columbia River, and of the superior quality of the fish. In
1866 they erected the first salmon cannery on that river, at
Eagle Cliff. This was the pioneer factory. Here they con-
tinued the business until 1873, when the firm was dissolved
and Mr. Hapgood built a new factory and works three miles
below Eagle Cliff, calling it Waterford, after his native town,
where he carried on the business of canning for two years.
Failing health compelled him to give up business, and in
August, 1875, ne s ld out. The following nine months he
spent in California, and in May, 1876, he came East, where
he died November 26, 1876, of consumption ; his widow sur-
vives him, residing in Gloucester.

JOHN FRANCIS 7 (Ephraim 6 , Oliver 5 , Ephraim*, Hezekiah*,
Nathaniel*, Skadrack 1 } was born September 9, 1824; enter-
prising, energetic and courageous. In 1848, at the age of
twenty-two, he purchased of Barker Burbank, in Bethel,
about 300 acres of land, only five of which were cleared.
There was also a very small house upon the lot. Thrift
followed sharp upon the footprints of industry, but some-
thing was wanted a companion to share his toils and
fortunes, and cheer the lonely hours of a forest home. Such
an one was vouchsafed, and on the 25th of April, 1851, he
was united in marriage, at Sherburne, New Hampshire, with
SEVENTH GENERATION. 145
Mary Lemine Young, born at Gray, Maine, April 14, 1833.
The union proved a happy one ; they have worked and pros-
pered together. In 1869 he built the large mansion house,
now occupied by the family, though all of the seven children,
except Fred, were born in the old house. Family traits are
singularly uniform and expressive. The earlier settlers of
New England were from agricultural districts in England ;
the Hapgoods were among them, and as farmers, were very
industrious, frugal and prosperous. One trait was a desire
for many buildings, and a great lot of cattle ; in the present
instance, John had the traditional characteristic. In addition
to the new house, rose into view two barns, a stable, and
sheds innumerable. One half of the 300 acres original pur-
chase are now under cultivation, and 400 acres of wood and
pasture land have been added by the father and son John,
who has always lived at home, and is now, in the waning
years of the father, the mainstay. Nor is he suffering for
want of exercise, with the care of the extensive farm, and
seventy-one head of cattle to look after, summer and winter ;
in fact, he is one of the most successful and richest farmers in
that section of the State.
