1. Biographical notes:

 

Born 8 December 1863 (per birth certificate) at Bothenhampton, Burton Bradstock sub-district, Bridport District, Dorset County, England (gravestone says: b. 14 Nov 1864).  Died 13 March 1912, age 48, at City Hospital, Watertown, Jefferson County, New York from complications of a ruptured gall bladder; interred Adams Rural Cemetery, Adams, Jefferson County, New York.

 

Lived with his Aunt Sarah Gale after his mother died, about 1871.  In 1880 (about age 17) John and a friend, Thomas Fowler (see Hussey Annex), immigrated to the United States.  When married (1886) resided in/near Belleville, Ellisburg Township, Jefferson County, New York.  Subsequently rented and operated at least two dairy farms on shares (for a share of the income they generated).  His daughter, Mabel, was born in the residence on their rental farm on Dry Hill Road, south of Watertown.  That house, which was demolished in the mid-1900s, was located on the west side of Dry Hill Road, just before it intersected Freilick Road (traveling south).  At some point John moved from there to another rental farm on County Route 77 at Butterville, west of Adams (in 2012 the address was Box 11402, County Route 77 (Smithville Rd), near the intersection of Shear Road and Route 77, which is also about 2 miles from where Route 77 intersects Route 178, adjacent to Sandy Creek).  About 1911 John purchased his first farm on outer Church Street, Adams, New York.  Before getting bogged down with the 24 hour/day schedule farmers face, and to celebrate daughter, Mabel’s 21st birthday, John, his wife, Eliza, and Mabel took a trip to visit relatives in England, their first opportunity to do so since leaving England roughly a quarter century before.

 

Very shortly after returning from England and before he could really begin farming, John’s gall bladder became inflamed.  It ruptured, and he became very ill, very quickly.  He was transported to a hospital in Watertown via train, but because he had delayed treatment for so long, and because that method of transport required additional waiting, he died before surgery could be performed the following day.

e. Other biographical notes on Eliza:

 

(1. Before immigrating to the United States in 1884, Eliza was employed as a house servant in Islington, London, England.  That’s undoubtedly where she met her eventual husband, John George Froome, who was from Islington.  It’s clear Eliza and her sister, Mary Jane “Minnie” Hussey, knew John G. Froome and Thomas Fowler, before the two young men left for the United States in 1880.  Eliza and Minnie followed their future husbands to the United States in 1884 (first Eliza, followed shortly after by Minnie), both eventually settling in/near Adams, Adams Township, Jefferson County, New York.  When married (1860) resided in/near Belleville, Ellisburg Township, Jefferson County, New York. 

 

(2. Following John’s death in 1912, Eliza sold the recently purchased farm on outer Church Street, Adams and she and her daughter, Mabel, moved into a double house on Church Street in the Village of Adams.  According to Mabel (who confided it to her oldest daughter, Dorothy Elizabeth (Cowen) Drake), Eliza, for (perhaps) selfish reasons, did not want Mabel to get married.  Or, perhaps she just didn’t like Leonard Thomas Cowen, who Mabel married in 1919.  At that point Eliza rotated residences between her children for several years: roughly 3 months each with Mabel in Adams, New York (in the Memorial Day timeframe each year, so she could put gladiolus on John's grave in the Adams Rural Cemetery) and Alfred in Watertown, New York, and roughly 6 months during the winters with Ernest in Poughkeepsie, New York.  When her son, Alfred’s 1st wife died in 1924, Eliza moved in with him at 317 West Lynde Street, Watertown, New York.  That was her semi-permanent residence for the remainder of her life.

 

(3. In her later years Eliza was very thin and light.  Her granddaughter, Margaret Katherine (Cowen) Smith, described her demeanor as “Morbid.”  She always wore solid black clothing (no colors at all), and to a young Margaret, Eliza appeared to be in perpetual mourning - angry that John had left her so early.  Margaret said: "I don't know what she went to bed in, but I bet that was black too."

 

Margaret also remembered fondly that her grandmother taught her and her sister, Dorothy, how to drink tea.  "She would steep tea and she would put real cream in it, and sugar, and we would have tea parties on the weekends.  And she always had to have her 'toddy,' which was beer, in the afternoon (after school was out).  And, of course, my father [Leonard Cowen] made beer for her and my mother, but he [Leonard] never took a drink of it, because his father was an alcoholic, which had influenced his early life so negatively.  From each beer bottle, Dorothy and I would each have a small glass (using the recycled containers in which sandwich spread used to be sold), then mom and my grandmother would divide the rest of it.  My mother (Mabel Alice (Froome) Cowen was usually out working somewhere, cleaning someone's house; I don't remember mother ever taking any time for any tea!"

(1.

1930 US Census: Harry W. Downing, age 48 (b. VT; parents b. VT) and employed as a machinist in a state garage, was heading a household at 28 Beacon Street in the City of Barre, Washington County, Vermont.  He was married first at age 21 and his real estate was valued at $8,000.  The household also included his wife, Alice E.

Florence Froome escaped her unhappy life with her aunt by marrying (1st) (?) Downing (perhaps Lloyd T. Downing of Barre, Washington Co., VT) while still very young (age 13 by one account).  Florence recalled years later that her husband had been violent, throwing her down the cellar stairs when she was pregnant.  Though injuries from that fall did not preclude a live delivery of the baby, those injuries and the subsequent birth left Florence unable to have other children.  The following son was born following this incident:

 

(a. (?) Downing: Died before Florence, perhaps mid 1990s.  Other than his gender, nothing more is known of his life.

 

Florence and her 1st husband were subsequently divorced.  She married (2nd) Howard R. Hudson (photos) (more info) (b. abt 1915, d.

Villeneuve of Fulton, New York, on 7 October 1967 at Fulton; subsequently divorced.  Thomas graduated from Oswego Catholic High School, Oswego, New York and received a Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1963 from the National College of Chiropractics, Lombard, Illinois.  He married (2nd) Joann "Jo" Wingert (b. 1948).

(?) Carroll (b. 1885, d. 1978), on 15 February 1928 at Trinity Episcopal Church, Watertown, New York.  Of interest, the Carrolls also had a son: George, Jr.  Anna Carroll was raised initially at Barnes Corners, Jefferson County, New York, where she attended the local schools.  When her mother died she moved to live with her aunt, Mrs. Anna Kellogg, in Adams, New York.  Following graduation from Adams high school, Anna received her nursing training at Bellevue Hospital in New York City.  Anna had married (1st) Oliver Fassett of Brownville, Jefferson County, New York; subsequently divorced.  Oliver and Anna (Carroll) Fassett had the following children:

Candy of Canada, on 17 August 1966.  Alfred and Florence went together for a long time, but were married for only 5 days when Florence had an apparent stroke and died soon after.  Thus, Alfred inherited a large hospital and funeral bill.  Florence had the following children from her 1st marriage to Irwin Charles Fisher (d. 27 Nov 1961, age 79), originally of Sudbury, Ontario Canada, on 1 December 1909:

Aug 1983 in Jefferson Co., NY; interred Clayton Cem.), age 18 and also a resident of Adams, Jefferson County, New York, daughter of William "Will" and Lillian (Henderson) Mosher, on 29 October 1909 (license issued same day) in the Village of Adams Center, Adams Township, Jefferson County, New York and, at the time of the 1910 Census, they resided on Spring Street in the Village of Adams, Adams Township, Jefferson County, New York, where Ernest was employed as a laborer in a creamery.  Of interest, Eldora had a brother, William "Bill" Mosher, who married Daisy (?) and resided, at some point, on Route 37 in northern New York.  Ernest and Eldora had the following son:

 

(1. Ronald “Ronny” John Froome: (photos) (more info) Born 3 June 1913 at Watertown, Jefferson County, New York.  Died September 1996, age 82, in New York; interred Clayton Cemetery.  Attended schools at Watertown, including Watertown High School.  Ronald was, reportedly, an exceptionally handsome boy.  As a child he resided with his parents in Parish Township, Oswego County, New York and Adams Township, Jefferson County, New York.  Because his parents both worked, he had little supervision most of the time, day and night, especially after his parents separated.  As a result, Ronald became relatively self sufficient at an early age.  For instance, his Aunt Mabel (Froome) Cowen told her daughter, Margaret, that Ronny, as a young child, could fry eggs better than she could, skillfully flipping them into the air from a frying pan.  This unchecked freedom at an early age also resulted in Ronald getting himself into a lot of trouble – so much so that his Aunt Mabel, who resided nearby in the Village of Adams, was asked to help with parenting.  By the time he was a teenager and residing with his mother and step-father, Raymond Joe Guyett (photos) in Watertown, New York, the problem had gotten to the point that Eldora and Joe couldn't manage him, so Ronald ended up in a reform school/orphanage for a period of time.  At age 17 (1930) Ronald enlisted in the US Navy for 4 years.  Following his service, he was employed at the New York Air Brake Corporation, Watertown until reenlisting in the US Navy on 3 May 1942 (reporting for duty 9 Aug 1942).  During World War II Ronald was present during many engagements with enemies of the US.

The marriage of Ronald and Rita (Mooney) Froome had broken up, and they were living apart when, in March 1937, Rita died.  She and their two young children had been visiting her friends in Syracuse, New York, and while in a taxi cab in route to their home in northern New York, there was an automobile accident on Onondaga Parkway; it was snowing heavily at the time.  Rita had been ill during her time in Syracuse, and the lengthy exposure to cold and damp conditions after the accident, while waiting for rescue personnel to arrive, combined with some physical injuries sustained in the accident, weakened her condition.  She died from complications of pneumonia about 1 week after the auto accident.

 

Rita's father travelled to Syracuse to claim her remains and pick up the two children.  For a period thereafter, Rita's sister, Rosemary (Mooney) (?), took care of her niece and nephew, Connie and Jimmie Joe Froome.  Since Ronald was still in the Navy and not able to personally care for his children, a custody battle developed between the Mooneys and Eldora (on behalf of her son, Ronald).  By then Joe and Eldora (Mosher)(Froome) Guyett resided outside the Village of Clayton, New York.  Joe and Eldora eventually won custody and formally adopted the two children, changing their surname to Guyett.  Ronny's service in the Navy was unexpectedly extended several years by World War II, so by the time the War was over, Joe Guyett was the only father the children knew.   When Ronald Froome returned from the War, he settled initially at Clayton, New York, and both children were under the impression that he was their older brother.  Apparently, Ronny did little or nothing to dispel that belief, so it continued until Connie and Jimmie Joe were adults. 

 

Ronald Froome married (2nd) Helen “Micky” Mae Ball (photos) (more info) (b. 17 Jun 1917, d. 1996, age 79, in FL; interred Clayton Cem.), daughter of Roy and Gladys (Percy) Ball of Clayton, and they initially resided there.  Of interest, Roy and Gladys Ball also had a daughter, Carolyn "Doody" Ball, and a son, Gerald "Ike" Ball (photos).  Gerald Ball was employed as a trucker in Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York, and Ronald Froome decided to move there to do the same thing.  Ronald resided at Syracuse several years, and two children were born there, but severe ulcers forced him to quit trucking.  Next Ronny and Micky started a restaurant and bar called the "Ideal Spot" at LaFargeville, Jefferson County, New York, which they operated for the next 33 years.  Ronny died in northern New York, and Micky resided last with her daughter, Cindy in Florida.  Ronald and Micky had the following children:

 

(c. Gerald “Jerry” Ruppert Froome: (photos) (more info) Born 4 April 1946 at Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York.  Graduated 1964 from Indian River Central School, Philadelphia, New York and 1966 from the Watertown School of Commerce, Watertown, New York.  Enlisted 2 August 1966 in the US Air Force; Administrative Specialist; discharged 1970.  Stationed in Turkey and then at Plattsburg AFB, New York.  Married Vicky Jean Bartlett (b. 1950), daughter of Paul Bartlett of Theresa, New York, on 11 July 1970/69 at Philadelphia, Jefferson County, New York.  Vicky graduated 1964 from Indian River Central School and 1966 from the Watertown School of Commerce.  Gerald and Vicky had the following children:

 

(1) Dionne Maria Froome: Born 1970 at Plattsburg, Clinton County, New York (while her father was in the USAF stationed at Plattsburg AFB).  Married (1st) Mike Ferrell (subsequently divorced) and had the following son:

 

(a) Chase Ferrell: Born 1998 at Watertown, Jefferson County, New York.

 

Dionne (Froome) Ferrell married (2nd) Ross Brown of Watertown, Jefferson County, New York and resided at Theresa, Jefferson County.  Dionne and Ross had the following son:

 

(b) Cayden Brown: Born 2005 at the Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown, Jefferson County, New York.

 

(2) Matthew Todd Froome: Born 1973 at Watertown, Jefferson County, New York.

 

(d. Daughter.

 

By 1915 Ernest, Eldora, and their son, Ronald resided in Parish Township (east of Oswego), Oswego County, New York.  However, by 1920, they again resided in the Village of Adams (Grange Avenue), where both were employed by the local telephone company - Ernest as a lineman and Eldora as an operator (the person who connected parties on the telephone before automated switching was invented).

 

For reasons that aren't entirely clear, Ernest's marriage to Eldora ended in divorce on 25 May 1923 at Canton, Stark County, Ohio.  By one account, Ernest had been unfaithful to Eldora, and at some point it appears Ernest left the residence they shared on Grange Avenue in Adams, New York and lived semi-separate lives.  According to Ernest's sister, Mable (Froome) Cowen, about 17 July 1922, when Mabel was in the hospital delivering her 1st child, Eldora left the Village of Adams to reside with her boy friend and eventual 2nd husband, Raymond Joe Guyett "Joe" (photos) (b. May 1900, d. 1983), son of Robert and Devona May (Wilson) Guyett.  Apparently (according to Mabel Cowen), at least for a while, their son, Ronald, remained with his father in Adams (perhaps in the Grange Ave. residence), and since Ernest worked nights for the telephone company, Ronald was frequently alone and unsupervised after dark.

 

However, at age 30, Eldora (Mosher) Froome married (2nd) Raymond Joe Guyett (b. May 1900, d. 1983; interred Clayton, NY), age 25, on 30 July 1924 (license issued same day) at Watertown, Jefferson County, New York, and resided in the City of Watertown (Ward 9) with Eldora's 12-year-old son, Ronald Froome.  Joe was employed in Watertown as a mechanic in his own auto repair shop on West Main Street.  Subsequently, he worked in Watertown for Gibson's Dry Cleaning.  In 1936 Eldora and Joe moved to Clayton Township, Jefferson County, New York (north side of Route 12E south of the Village of Clayton), where Joe purchased land on the St. Lawrence River just south of the Village of Clayton.  Eldora's brother operated a gas station and diner nearby, employing, among others, Helen "Micky" May Ball, daughter of a nearby farming family, and that's where Ronald Froome met his 2nd wife, Micky Ball.

 

1925 NYS Census: Raymond Joe Guyett, age 25 (b. abt 1900), was heading a household in Watertown (Ward 9), Jefferson County, New York (ED 01, house # 710, pg 13, line 11).  The household also included his wife, Eldora M. Guyett (b. abt 1894) and step son, Ronald Froome, age 12 (b. abt 1913).

 

At some point Earnest Froome began work as an exterior electrician.  About 1922 he left Adams, New York, and in July 1926 he was working in that capacity for the M. J. Daley Construction Company (headquartered at Springfield, MA) at Spring Valley, New York when he touched a live wire (3,000 volts) while 40 feet up a steel power tower.  He was thrown to the ground; his head was cut, his eyes were swollen, and he had internal injuries.  In addition, his right hand was badly burned from the tips of his fingers to past his wrist, rendering it virtually useless.  Initial treatment occurred at Good Samaritan Hospital, Suffern, New York, where he was nursed back to health over a long period of rehabilitation by licensed practical nurse, Sadie E. (Austin) Fisher.  To facilitate that treatment, Ernest moved from Watertown, New York to Mahopac (east of West Point), Carmel Township, Putnam County, New York.  His hand never functioned normally again.  Somewhat disabled, Ernest eventually settled into dairy farming at Mahopac, selling milk in the local neighborhood of his farm.

 

By 1930 Ernest had married (2nd), as her 2nd husband, his nurse and companion, Sarah "Sadie" E. (Austin) Fisher (photos) (b. 12 Jan 1895 at Mahopac, Carmel Twp, Putnam Co., NY, d. 30 Jul 1988 at Peekskill, Westchester Co., NY).  They both resided the remainder of their lives at Mahopac, where their remains were interred.  Of interest, their farm was just down the street from the residence of Sadie’s parents.

 

It appears Sadie Austin may have had a daughter from an out-of-wedlock relationship with (?) Fisher. (see below)

 

1920 US Census: (enumerated Jan 1920, when Dorothy was about 7 months old) Sadie Fisher reported she was married, though her husband did not reside with her.

(2. Dorothy "Dotty" Blanche Fisher: Born 27 June 1919.  Died 24 August 2000 in Holiday Township, Pasco County, Florida; interred Bay Pines National Cemetery, Bay Pines, Florida.

 

1930 US Census: [Sadie's father] William H. Austin, age 63 (m. 1st age 29) and employed as caretaker of a country estate, was heading a household on West Mahopac Falls Road, Carmel Township, Putnam County, New York.  The household also included his wife, Carrie Austin, age 62 (m. 1st age 27); son-in-law George Dagle, age 23 (m. 1st age 22) and employed as a chauffeur & truck driver; daughter, Ethel Dagle, age 25; and granddaughter, Dorothy Fisher, age 10.

 

1940 US Census: Norman Barger, age 21 (b. NYS), single, and employed as a caretaker for a private institution, resided at the Provincial Convent and Novitiate of Good Shepherds, Peekskill, Cortlandt Township, Westchester County, New York.  He had completed 2 years of high school.

 

Dorothy B. Fisher married Norman Edgar Barger (b. 27 Nov 1918 at Peekskill, Westchester Co., NY, d. 19 Apr 1988 in Bay County, Florida), son of Ira James and Elmira "Ella" (Travis) Barger, on 3 June 1945 at Peekskill, Westchester County, New York and had the following son:

 

(a. Patrick "Pat" Barger.

 

c. Mabel Alice Froome: See generation 2, below.

 

d. Florence Lillian Froome: (photos) Born 21 June 1902.  Died 9 February 1903, age 7 months 19 days, from (apparently) complications of renal failure (could not urinate).  From birth Lillian was not healthy, one symptom being that her kidneys did not function properly.  Her mother and Aunt “Min” would hold her next to an open oven door in hopes additional heat would help overcome the problem, but to no avail.

 

2   Mabel Alice Froome 

 

Born 12 May 1890 in Watertown, New York.  Died 15 November 1979.  Married Leonard Thomas Cowen, generation 2 of the Cowen Annex on 17 September 1919 at Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York.
