"Seafaring Family- In the death two weeks ago of Mrs. Ruth Silsbe Overton, Patchogue lost its oldest native resident. She was born on South Ocean Avenue and would have celebrated her ninety-fifth birthday in June.
The sea played a big role in her life. Her father, Richard Silsbe, was captain of a small cargo ship engaged in the coastwise trade. Her husband, Havens B. Overton, was a pilot, also in the Atlantic coastwise trade. Her son-in-law, Capt. L.W. Webb, was captain of a merchant vessel which was lost in a convoy on the Atlantic run during World War II...
...Mrs. Overton was one of the first women to ride a bicycle in Patchogue."
