HIRAM GERARD.

Hiram Gerard, for many years a prominent resident of Patchogue, Long Island, was born in the village of Middle Island, Suffolk county, in 1799, a son of Zophar and Charlotte (Smith) Gerard.
Zophar and Charlotte Gerard, parents of Hiram Gerard, had a family of two sons and two daughters, all of whom lived to years of maturity.
Hiram Gerard acquired his literary education in the public schools of Patchogue, and after completing his studies he learned the trade of carpenter with his father; he also obtained a thorough knowledge of the boat and ship building business, which at that time was one of the principal industries of Patchogue. Mr. Gerard eventually devoted all his time and attention to his trade, and soon became. the leading ship builder on the south side of Long Island. He designed and built between sixty and seventy vessels for some of the best known captains of his day, constructing the entire ironwork on some of them with his own hands. He possessed a natural mechanical genius, unbounded energy, perseverance and honesty, and the name of Hiram Gerard was regarded by all who knew him with respect and confidence in both social and business circles.
Mr. Gerard was married at Patchogue, to Miss. Hannah Newins, daughter of William and Martha (Smith) Newins, and the following named children were born to them: Hannah, born Septem-ber 4, 1824; Hester Ann, born September 3, 1826; Sarah Jane, born August 12, 1828; Augusta, born October 9, 1830, Anna Louise born December 23, 1832, died in October, 1877; Hiram Edwin, born June 29, 1834, died September 26, 1864; Charles H., born May 15 1837; William R., born January 1 1840, died October 23, 1858; Marietta and Loretta, twins, born June 15, 1842. Loretta died September 15 1843, and Marietta died February 20. 1847 ; and Thotimus born February 3’
1847, Hiram Edwin Gerard, sixth child in order of birth born to Mr. and Mrs. Gerard, was drowned by accident in the East river while crossing on a ferryboat from Hunter’s Point; two ferryboats met in collision and it is supposed that he was thrown overboard by the force with which they came together. His body was found six days later and identified by means of money and articles found in his clothes; he was thirty years of age and unmarried. The father of these children died at his residence in Patchogue on April 21, 1860, from an attack of typhoid fever; his wife passed away March 19, 1877. His life was noble, honorable, kindly and just, his reputation was unassailable, and he left to his sons and daughters not only the accumulations of a successful business career, but the priceless heritage of a good name.
