Message: [QUOTE="Phillip Gowan, post: 265356, member: 143347"] Sam, This afternoon I had a chance to look up the exact information on the Thayer siblings: Frederick Morris Thayer, born July 17, 1896, married Eliza Talbott on October 27, 1923 and had 5 children (Frederick Morris Jr., Marian, Harry E., Thurston H., and Nelson S.). He was an investment banker and World War I vet. He died on November 16, 1956. Margaret (Peggy) Thayer, born in 1898, married Harold Elstner Talbott on August 11, 1925 and had four children, daughters Margaret and Pauline, and twin sons, John Thayer Talbott and Harold E. Talbott, III. Harold E. Talbott was Secretary of the Air Force during the Eisenhower administration. He resigned that post after an investigation by the U.S. Senate into his activities in behalf of a New York engineering firm in which he was a partner. He then died of a heart attack on March 2, 1957 while visiting friends in Palm Beach, Florida. His wife then lived in a 12th Floor Fifth Avenue apartment in Manhattan where she became increasingly prone to depression and finally jumped from her balcony in 1960. Pauline Thayer was born in 1901 and married Henry Hoffman Dolan. They had three children, Henry, Jr., Thayer, and Peggy. She was a leading Philadelphia area golfer and made her home in Hobe Sound, Florida after 1950. She died there on March 2, 1981 and was the last of the four Thayer children. (Actually there was another sibling who died in infancy, unnamed, and is buried beside his parents). Frederick Morris Thayer's wife, Eliza, died on November 22, 1990 and was the last surviving in-law of the Thayer children. I hope some of the above was helpful. Phillip [/QUOTE]
