Bessie DeBoise Smith and Barbara DeBoise Stewart

We only have a couple of pictures of these women, and I wanted to share them with you.

Bessie (DeBoise) Smith was Frank DeBoise’s sister, and the aunt of James DeBoise. When Richard was young, he would spend summers in New Haven, Connecticut with his aunt Barbara, sister of James, as well as Bessie and her husband Billy. Richard hated the short pants that Barbara made him wear!
