Richard was a very successful businessman who married the daughter of a wealthy yachtsman at the club where Richard worked. Her father was a wool buyer and also the wool buyer for the army during WWI (where made most of his money). At Plum Beach in RI, near Newport, was where they met, where Dick was working as a deck hand for Janet's father.

They were killed in the late 70's or 80's by an older man who fell asleep at the wheel(man had a seizure which some think was epilesy), came into their lane, and killed Richard instantly. Janet died shortly thereafter. They were headed to see one of their children, Whitney, who they saw, and were way to see Richard's sister, Ann, before Richard changed to another company.
3/10/02 Whitney says that this company was called Economics Laboratories in St. Paul, Minn.

3/20/02 - Mary Eaton says:

There was a disturbance at a Thanksgiving football game. Frequently, Ted and Mary were invited to join Ashley's for the Brown vs. xxx football - when played in Providence. The Ashleys almost always went to the game - (Mary and Ted went to game separately) - and then went to the Ashleys for dinner at Rochambeau Avenue.

This particular time, during the game, there was alot of blowing of whistles and the game stopped - it seemed to be a lot of youngsters running around - eventually the game restarted. When Mary and Ted got to Rochambeau Avenue, Dick, who was something of a "rascal", they were greated by comments "Did you see them" - and they were told that Dick and some friends of his decided not to pay, so they climbed over the wall and landed right on the field and the game was stopped.

Richard married Hills, Janet Eldridge on 6 Oct 1951 in Providence, RI. Janet was born on 10 Apr 1932 in Providence, RI occupation=housewife; died on 17 Oct 1982 in Pulasky County, VA - car accident. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes from Mary B. Eaton on Aunt Rae:

Earl may have been a cousin - not sure how related, but at the time, that relationship was attributed to Harriet's mongoloidism.

Aunt Rae did so much for Mary B

When Mary came to Providence to go to school at Katy Gibbs, Rachel had Mary for dinner

Lloyd was owner of a fruit business, and brought in his brother Charles when Charles was out of a job. Later on, Charles kicked Lloyd out of the business.

Saving Ancesters. p 44
Uncles Clarence and Charlie had moved to Providence where they set up the firm of Eddy Brothers and did an extensive wholesale fruit and nut business. Their younger brother, Phil, joined them and later set up a wholesale fruit business of his own.

saving Ancesters. p.58

From "Aunt Emma, the family historian. Here are a few anecdotes as recorded by Emma. 'When Uncle Clarence was a little boy, he went one day up to the garden and helped himself to gooseberries. When he returned to the house, his mother told him that that part of the garden belonged to Grandpa Bowers, and she wanted him to go to Grandpa and tell him how sorry he was he had taken them. Clarence stammered, and was quite excited when he approached his grandfather, saying "I have been t-taking your g-gooseberries and I b-bet it's stealing".
