Obit Notice

An obituary was published

Ralph Andrew Fletcher, Jr. ("Andy") originally from Westford, MA, died January 6, 2024, in Venice, FL. Andy-Jr was 97 years old. He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 30 years, Franny Bliss Hall Fletcher (d. 2017). His survivors include three children (from his first marriage to R. Louise Fisher Fletcher): R. Andrew Fletcher III, Phebe McKean Fletcher and Henry Hasbrook Fletcher. His second son, Robert Louis Fletcher, died just one day after his father on January 7, 2024 at the age of 72. Andy is also survived by eight grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
Andy grew up in Westford and attended the Frost Elementary School, the Fenn School in Concord, MA and St. Mark's School in Southborough, MA from which he graduated at an accelerated pace in 1944 to join the US Navy for service on active duty in the Pacific on the USS Halloran. After WWII Andy attended Harvard University (Class of 1950) before joining the H.E. Fletcher Company, a family-owned granite company in Westford. He rose to become its Treasurer and Vice President, and was granted two patents and worked to improve energy efficiency at the company, leaving in 1977 for other persuits. Over these years, among many other interests, he was an outdoorsman who particularly loved fly fishing, bird hunting and skiing, and became the North Atlantic Skeet champion for two years.
Andy began attending AA meetings in the early 1970's and by the time of his death he had been alcohol-free for 52 years. It was at one of those meetings in NH that he met his beloved Franny. They shared a happy, active life together, living in both New Hampshire and Florida for many years where they enjoyed canoeing, hiking, mountain climbing, and traveling.
A memorial service and reception will be held in Venice, FL at Village on the Isle in Renaissance Rooms I and II on Saturday, January 27, 2024, from 10 am to 12 noon. A second memorial service and burial is tentatively planned for June in New England.

In 1813 he began manufacturing hand cards for the carding of wool and cotton (used in the preparation for spinning) as a winter occupation for his farm hands. Joseph and his brother Henry were partners until Henry's death in 1829. In 1820 he was treasurer of the Congregational Society - he made a report dated 28 Apr 1820. In 1832 Albert Warren was an apprentice for 3 years, being paid $350. In 1834 Josiah Q Lamb was an apprentice. In 1834 he contributed $250 towards building of a meeting house for the Second Congregational Society (Unitarian). Later he withdrew and rejoined the First, but his wife remained with the Second. In 1835 he speculated in land in Maine (along with other leading citizens of Leicester) and lost very heavily. 1835-1838 he was out of work, just a farmer, and finances were very low. The manufacture of cards was later resumed. He served in the State Militia, rising to Colonel. Member of MA Legislature in 1838 and 1846. He had at various times as partners: Silas Jones, Nathan Ainsworth and William Barr.

Biography

  • Joseph Sargent was born on 6 July 1716 in Malden, Massachusetts.1
  • In 1741 Joseph moved to Leicester, Massachusetts, with his cousin Nathan Sargent. Leicester had been settled in the early part of the 18th century largely by people from Malden, MA.2
  • His cousin Nathan bought 100 acres for a farm on Chestnut Hill spending £200 on the purchase. The land was in the eastern part of Leicester on the Worcester edge of town. Joseph's 40 acres joined Nathan's on the west.2
  • In an article by C C Denny in 1893 titled 'An Ancient Road, and Reminiscences of some Families who Dwelt on it' he stated: 'A few rods down the hill from the old Nathan Sargent place and on the westerly part of the Nathan Sargent farm stood a house build by Joseph Sargent in 1746. It was built on a high bank with a carriage road running upclose to the front door, two stories in front and one story in the rear.' Joseph's house was razed in 1831 after the death of his 2 unmarried daughters who continued to live in the house after their father's death.2
  • He married Hannah Whittemore, daughter of Daniel Whittemore and Mary Chamberlin, on 20 January 1746/47 in Malden, Massachusetts.3,4
  • They were married by J Bucknam, JP. (Bucknam was the maiden name of Joseph's mother. She had a brother Josiah - could he have been a JP?)4
  • Joseph Sargent was a farmer.
  • His wife Hannah died in 1757 in Leicester, Massachusetts, leaving him a widower at age ~41 .
  • He married Mary Groat in 1758 in Leicester, Massachusetts.5
  • During the Revolution Joseph Sargent was a prominent patriot of Leicester. This qualifies descendants for membership in the DAR.6
