General Notes: Husband - William Rutherford Hayes Trowbridge

---

He was educated at the Stiles French Preparatory School and at Yale, where he graduated in 1863. He then made a tour of Greece, Egypt, the Holy Land and the Near East and upon his return to America entered the employment of H. Trowbridge Sons, West Indian merchants, a firm composed of his father and three uncles.
In 1865 he sailed for Barbados, where he was the representative of his firm for twenty years. In 1883 he was admitted as a partner into this great mercantile house and two years later returned with his family to New Haven. In 1893, following a dissolution by mutual consent of a partnership existing between himself and three brothers, Henry, Thomas R. and Rutherford, he went with his family to reside in Europe. He was the author of several stories and sketches of travel which appeared in American and English periodicals.
