Debbie Eaton Keeney has Dorothy's diary/journal from 1916-1918, when she doesn't appear to have held the job of librarian. When Mary B. Eaton visited her in 1937-38, Dorothy had been a librarian for some time.

Mary Eaton says that she did not lead a happy life. She became pregnant and Uncle Earl helped her get an abortion. In the end, she took a room at the Crown Hotel Providence after she thought she might lose her job. She tripped or purposely fell from the 2nd to the first floor, noone is sure which.

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

Pat Files Smart - 3/13/02 "I remember Grandma Rachael talking about Guyton's suicide--she adored him and felt that he had been misunderstood--when she talked about Guyton, she had the same look in her eye when she talked about Uncle Dick (Richard Chace Ashley), whom she also adored."

Guyton was supposedly very brilliant and very well respected at Brown.
Grandma Rachael adored Guyton and felt that he had been misunderstood.

due to his horrible stuttering (he was teased) and caused him to see no
other alternative. "

notes from Mary B. Eaton - Aug, 2001

Harriet died in the late 30's, early 40's. She was retarded - and at the end, lived with a woman who took care of her.

3/13/02 - Rachael Ashley Audley:

"Dad (Dick) had always told us Aunt Harriet had Down Syndrome. The day before he died, he gave some of his blood to the University of Virginia to see if he was carrying the gene that would give all of his children a greater chance of having kids with Downs. It was a very expensive test at the time and when the University found out that Mom and Dad died the next day, they did not charge any of us for the blood test. He was not carrying the gene, which meant none of us had to be tested."

Whitney Ashley Vose said: "I had alwyas heard that Harriet had Downs Syndrome and was sent away from home when she was around 8 years fo age. I think she died in her mid to late thirties."

Pat Files Smart said: "Bud Ashley was a very sensitive person who apparently took wonderful care of Harriet, who was their Trisomy 21 child and who lived to the unheard of age of 40 something!"

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.
