After
1929 expected to retire to Washington DC as an Admiral. Served on the warship “Columbia.” One son was in the Navy. Lost his other children
while they were young. Is this “Uncle Billy?”
From an 1894 letter
from Mary Fraser, daughter of Horace, to Howard Bryant, son of Rodman: Uncle
Lyman (probably Lyman Thayer, husband of Anna Fraser), who died about 1888, was
carred for by Helen Braisted,
who lived at that time at Port Chester, Westchester Co, N.Y. Helen had a brother, Horace, who married a
widow who inherited $300K and blew it on a trip to Europe and subsequent
speculation, which made him insane, but he eventually recovered. Helen’s only child, “Will” Braisted, was a surgeon on the warship, Columbia, who had a
wife and 3 children.
