Frederick Lothrop Ames (1876-1921)
F. "Lothrop" Ames, Jr., of 'Stone House Hill House' North Easton, Massachusetts
He was a trustee of the Ames Family Estate whose fortune originated manufacturing picks and shovels, but was also tied up in the development of the Union Pacific Railroad and other railroads, plus a wide range of further investments. He also developed his 50-room home (see images) in North Easton as a model farm where he bred Guernsey cattle and thoroughbred horses. His wife, Edith Cryder, was described as, “one of the famous ‘Cryder Triplets’ who were much talked of in society because of their beauty and accomplishments.” They were married in 1904 and their first married home was 413 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, leased from Francis Inman Amory who was then travelling with his family in Europe. They had two children.
