From the Times Picayune (New Orleans, LA).

March 18, 1882 - "A Fortress Monroe dispatch announces that Mr. Richard S. Fay, of Boston, shot and killed himself on board the steamer Tennessee while on his passage from Fortress Monroe to New Orleans. Mr. Fay was born in Boston, and was the son of the late Richard S. Fay, the well known manufacturer and capitalist, and grandson of the late Judge Samuel P.P. Fay, of Cambridge. He was educated for Harvard, but, on account of ill health, gave up his studies and went South, where for some years he sojourned, being at one time clerk in a prominent Savannah house. On his return to Boston he entered the banking house of Fay, Mudge & Atwood, and later severed this connection to accept the treasurership of the Middlesex Mills, which corporation has, by reason of his able and judicious management, become one of the most successful manufacturing companies of the world. He was also treasurer of the Lake Superior Iron Company, the Champion Iron Company, President of the Appleton Manufacturing Company and director in a number of other manufacturing, mercantile and banking corporations. He was also director in several charitable associations, and was an active and highly esteemed member of St. Bernard Commandery of Knights Templar. His treasurership of the Middlesex Company covers a period of about twenty five years. Mr. Fay has at intervals during his life traveled extensively abroad. While a young man he married Miss Bowditch, daughter of Nathaniel J. Bowditch and granddaughter of the late Ebenezer Francis. The result of this union was one son, who has just graduated from Harvard. Mr. Fay has been for a long suffering from Bright's disease and went South in a sad physical and mental condition. Some years since he was stabbed by the late Dr, Thayer, of Lowell, but recovered almost entirely from the effects of the wound. He resided on Beacon street. He is said to have amassed a considerable fortune. Boston Post, 11th.".
