273. Herman HEWETT 1,11 (Joseph188, Joseph146, Joseph102, Joseph63, Soloman23, John7, Thomas James2, Robert (?)1) was born on 27 Oct 1833 in Marshfield, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts 1,11 and died on 14 Jan 1885 in Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts 1. 

At age 18, Herman went to Rockland, Massachusetts, where he became apprenticed to the jeweler's and watchmaker's trade with Walter B. Gurney, with whom he remained for about three years. He then went to North Bridgewater, where he worked at his trade for David Studley for several years, when he went to Taunton, Massachusetts, and there engaged in the jewelry business on his own account. He remained but a short time, removing thence to Bridgewater, where he opened a jewelry store, and continued in business in the latter town until September, 1863, when he sold out the business to his brother, Edward A. Hewett. He then returned to North Bridgewater, now Brockton, and established himself in the jewelry business, opening a store in the Tyler Cobb building at the corner of Main and High Streets, continuing at that location for a few years, when he removed to the Henry L. Bryant building, known as the Old Opera House block, where he carried on business for some years. Finally he leased a piece of land at the corner of Main and West Elm streets, of Henry Cross, and there erected a building to which he removed his business, and where he continued successfully engaged until his death. He was the first in the town to have a street clock, which was lighted by an oil lamp, and was considered the standard timepiece of the town for many years. Herman was a prudent, energetic man, and always faithful to his business and his interests. He was fond of a horse and carriage, and for several years before his death, being in poor health, he spent much time in driving. In political view he was a Republican, but never cared for public honors. 6
