. History of Steuben County, New York, with illustrations and biographical sketches of some of its prominent men and pioneers. Steuben, Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin, Baron von, 1730-1794. Hiram W. Bostwick was bom at New Milford, Conn., Aug. 28, 1802. At the age of sixteen he went to Albany, N, Y., as a clerk in a whip manu- facturing establishment. In 1820 he married Mary Rowley. In 1824 he removed to Laurens, Otsego Co., N. Y., and formed a co-partnership with his brother in a general mer- chandise store, where he remained until about 1836, when he removed to Painted Post, this county, and engaged in lumbering at the mills now known as the ^' Gang Mills.^' Soon afterwards, as one of the Corning Company, he removed to the present site of the village of Corning, and became the general manager of that company, and so continued until its dissolution in 1855; and to him more than to any other one' person was the prosperity of the village due. He was president of the Bank of Corning, of the Tioga Iron, Mining, and Manufac- turing Company, which built the railroad from Corn- ing to Lawrenceville, Pa., connecting there with the Tioga Navigation Company, owning the railroad from Lawrenceville to Blossburg, constituting the first outlet for bituminous coal from the Pennsyl- vania mines. He was one of the chief promoters, and for a time president of the Buffalo and Conhocton Valley Rail- road. After the great fire at Corning in 1850, he, with Major Andrew B. Dickinson, built the " Dickinson House'^ and " Concert Hall, " thereby stimulating others to erect many of the finest buildings now in Corning. In 1863 he went to Nicaragua as an assistant of Major Andrew B. Dickinson, who was United States Minister to the government of that country. He returned to the United States in 1866, and established his residence at Vineland, N. J., where he died April 8, 1868..
