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.".

"RICHARD SULLIVAN FAY - He graduated at Harvard College 1825, was a merchant of Boston and resided here. He had a beautiful summer residence in Lynn, Mass., and was much interested in forestry and landscape gardening. A few items are given from Newhall's History of Lynn concerning his residence there. "In 1847 he purchased the estate (and many acres of adjoining territory) on which was the mineral spring, popularly called the "Red Spring," its waters having a reddish hue. About the century 1600, Dr. John Casper Ritcher Van Crowningshield, the ancestor of the Crowingshiields of Salem, purchased the adjacent lands and settled on them, the celebrated Cotton Mather among others visited him and partook of the waters of the spring, and in one of his elaborate works extols their virtues. The situation is delightful. The little lake which has received the pretty name, "Lynnmore" nestles so cosily and smiles so brightly between thickly wooded hills, that it might be imagined there had been a compact that it should be shielded from the wild winds that should agitate its bosom in return for refreshing exhalations it might send up to renovate the drooping foliage. Upon the western bank which rises gracefully to a considerable height was erected in 1810, the edifice long known as Lynn Mineral Spring Hotel. It was a favorite summer resort and no inland retreat could be more charming. There was fishing in the "Pond," fowling in the woods, and beautiful drives in all directions.
In 1847 Mr. Fay purchased the estate and improved it greatly by planting a great many varieties of rare and beautiful trees, many of them are foreign. England and France are re[presented, the Black Forest of Germany, even Russia and Liberia. There is a pleasing variety of grove and lawn, pasture and arable ground, woodland and meadow, and altogether the landscape is one of uncommon freshness and vigor. In traversing the grounds one is forcibly reminded of feudal days and baronial domains, and if the ivied walls of an ancient castle could be discerned peering from some rocky crest across the lake the illusion might be complete. This beautiful estate is still in possession of the Fays which they continue to improve and beautify. The family leave their city home early in the season to enjoy the loveliness of their beautiful estate, where they remain until late in the autumn. Mr. Fay died in Liverpool, England in 1865, aged 59 years. Mrs Fay was living in 1886."
