The last house his parents owned (and then one of his brothers, Frank and his son after him) was located in Wayne, about 2/3rd along 'Pond Road' to the old cemetary.
Hiram nicely described the state as 'one of the best places to emigrate from'
But on a serious note, there are quite some locations in the USA that are linked to the early development of the forerunners of the Luger pistol. Hiram Maxim and his brother Hudson Maxim were born and raised in Maine, Hudson spent most of his life in New Jersey, Hugo Borchardt worked in the US, one of the Mauser brothers worked in the US, Isidor Loewe toured the US, learning the production techniques that would later become associated with 'German engineering'. Even elusive characters from the Parabellum history like Hans Tauscher and baron Paul von Gontard (DWM management -> Anheuser-Busch) left their marks there.
Without the USA there would not have been a Parabellum pistol.
