I have never been to Ohio but I found this were it mentions a hospital now sits where the factory was, if it helps. “In 1888, the Canton Chamber of Commerce located 20 prominent citizens to help raise $100,000 to bring two companies to Canton — the Hampden Co. of Springfield, Mass., and the Dueber Watch Case Co. from Newport, Ky.,” said information supplied by Walsh University, which operates the Hoover Historical Center. “When these companies moved to Canton, 800 employees and their families relocated to the city. This move helped create a building boom around the southwest end of Canton where Aultman Hospital is now located. | |||

Also, an address I found for them back in the late 1890's was 40 South Street Canton Ohio. This is from 1891 & lists intersections streets, you will notice near the top of the center column it lists Hampden watch works | |||
