Main later earned a D.D. degree. CareerThe following April, Hubert Main took a similar entry level job at the Bristow and Morse publishing company. He also helped his father publish the Sunday School Lute songbook by I.B. Woodbury. In 1864 Sylvester Main invested in a William Bradbury's publishing business, and Hubert was working there by 1867. Upon Bradbury's death the following year, the Mains founded the Biglow and Main music publishing house as its successor. One of the firm's major hymnwriters was Fanny VanAlstyne Crosby. Hubert Main worked with his father until his father's death in 1873, and ultimately published over 500 works.[2] He also partnered with other music editors, including George A. Bell, Mrs. Wilbur F. Crafts and Ira D. Sankey (part of Dwight Moody's evangelism team). Main arranged music, as well as wrote over 1000 pieces, from singing school songs to Sunday school music and hymns.[3] Main also collected music books, and in 1906 sold his collection (over 3,500 volumes) to the Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, where they form the core of its Americana collection.[4] Death and legacyMain died in Newark, New Jersey on October 7, 1925, and was buried in Bloomfield Cemetery in Essex County.[5] Several of his hymns continue to be republished today.
