Ione Martin Marston, who owned and operated the Carousel Shop children’s clothing store in East Hampton Village in the early 1950s with her first husband, Benjamin M. Stoddard, died at home in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Saturday. She was 92.

Nursing school brought Miss Martin east from her hometown, Everett, Wash., where she was born on Feb. 13, 1925, to Lafe and Hilma Martin. She had four siblings, none of whom survive.

As a registered nurse, she worked in Manhattan at the old French Hospital on West 30th Street, which closed in 1977. At one point she worked for the actress Bette Davis, caring for her newborn daughter.

She met Mr. Stoddard in East Hampton. They were married on Aug. 6, 1949, at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Manhattan and lived in East Hampton for several years, first on Egypt Lane and later more or less around the corner on Fithian Lane. While here, she joined the Ladies Village Improvement Society and volunteered at Guild Hall.

With an eye for fashion, according to her family, she took over her mother-in-law’s, Lillian Stoddard’s, made-to-order dress business, Madeline Couture in Manhattan. One of her dressmakers, Ann Lowe, was to design and make Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding gown.

After a divorce in the early ’70s, Mrs. Marston lived for a time in Bronxville, N.Y., but eventually moved to Palm Beach, Fla., where she remained in the fashion business, selling clothing and jewelry and becoming involved in interior decorating. She was a frequent bridge player and made many good friends in Florida, her family said.

She married Anthony H. Marston in 2001; he died in 2009 at the age of 99.

Mrs. Marston, who had been cared for by Julie Zaldivar of Port St. Lucie, Fla., for some time, leaves three children. They are Sharman Peddy and Steven Stoddard of East Hampton, and Blaine Stoddard of San Francisco. Four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren survive as well.

At her request, there was no formal funeral service. Memorial contributions have been suggested to Hospice of Palm Beach County, 5300 East Avenue, West Palm Beach, Fla. 22407.

Mary Giordano Stewart, who first came to Montauk before the Hurricane of 1938 and played an important role in that community for most of her life, died at the Affinity Skilled Living and Rehabilitation center in Oakdale on April 17. She had been weakened after a bout with pneumonia in early March. She was 98.

Mrs. Stewart was born Jan. 29, 1919, in Manhattan, one of 10 children in the family of Ralph Giordano and the former Concetta Coppola. Her family moved to the Bronx when she was young, and she attended P.S. 71 in Pelham Bay and James Monroe High School in Soundview.

By the time she graduated from high school, her family had already begun visiting Montauk in the summer. She briefly attended the Rhodes Secretarial School, but “became disillusioned with secretarial work,” her family wrote. She loved to read and had competed in the Miss Bronx competition, and left secretarial school dreaming of moving to Paris and becoming an actress or designer. To make ends meet, she took a job as a receptionist with the Motor Hearse Association of New York. Her father, who owned a limousine business at the time, had helped her get that job, and when she left, he helped her get a job in the administration of Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, who was a client of his. She worked for Harry Levine, the commissioner of the Census of New York City.

It was Mr. Levine who taught her how to run an office. At the same time, she became her father’s representative to various civic, religious, and political organizations, volunteering on his behalf.

On weekends, the family destination was frequently Montauk, and the old Dickinson farm in Ditch Plain, which her father had purchased.

Seeking independence from her father, she took a job with the New York University School of Dentistry, and when World War II broke out, she went to work in a Western Electric factory.

In 1944, she met Calvin Stewart, a highly decorated staff sergeant with the Army Corps of Engineers, who was back from Europe. The two fell in love and were married on Nov. 12, 1946. They initially left New York, trying to make a home in several states. That ended when Mrs. Stewart’s father offered her husband a job. He had purchased the Lakeside Inn in Montauk, and wanted to renovate and expand it into a motel. While Mr. Stewart worked building the motel, now known as the Surf Lodge, his wife took on whatever task was needed, from taking reservations to changing sheets to chopping lettuce.

While they sometimes stayed at the Lakeside Inn, they eventually turned a small garage on the Dickinson farm into their home. Mrs. Stewart learned from her husband, a farm boy from Kentucky, how to raise chickens and vegetables.

They had two children, MaryEllen and Calvin Jr. Mrs. Stewart founded Montauk Scout Troop 136 and was later awarded a Golden Spark Plug by the Suffolk County Council of the Boy Scouts of America. She was a member of the Congregation at St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church, where she would organize fund-raisers for the March of Dimes.

She called herself “a perpetual volunteer,” her family wrote. She ran flu vaccine clinics and established a youth employment agency in Montauk. She also helped establish the Senior Nutrition Center at the Montauk Community Church.

In the 1980s, working with the Montauk Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Stewart organized the Arts in Montauk program, with lectures, readings, art openings, and a youth drama club.

She was chairwoman of the Montauk AARP Chapter 2610. In the 1980s, AARP wanted her to take on the job of vice president, which she turned down because it would have required many trips to Albany, and her husband had become disabled. He died in 1989.

“Mary wrote poetry for herself, made crochet hats for gifts, maintained a large garden, and loved to cook,” her family wrote. “Her signature dish was eggplant Parmesan,” and she would bake several trays of it at a time and freeze them to share with friends or acquaintances who had been kind enough to lend her a hand or give her a ride back to her house from one of her frequent walks to town.

She was gregarious, and a storyteller, and those rides frequently led to deep friendships, her family said.

Besides her children, MaryEllen LeClerc and Calvin Stewart Jr., both of East Hampton, she is survived by three grandchildren, a great-grandson, and a sister, Ann Vasti of Summerville, S.C.

A wake was held at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton last Thursday, with a funeral Mass at St. Therese being offered the next day. Father Thomas Murray officiated. She was buried at Calverton National Cemetery beside her husband.

Mary Jane Coy Osborne, a former East Hampton resident who was a frequent visitor regardless of where she lived, died on March 30 in San Diego. She was 92 and had been in poor health for over a year.

She was born in New York City on Dec. 13, 1924, to the former Esther McGann and James J. Coy, a detective in the New York City Police Department. After her father retired, the family moved to East Hampton and Mary Jane, then 15, attended East Hampton High School, where she met Jack (Nelson C.) Osborne Jr., who was to be her husband. They were married and divorced twice.

After graduating from high school, Ms. Coy Osborne studied at the University of Vermont in Burlington, although she did not graduate. In 1945, she returned to East Hampton and she and Jack Osborne celebrated their first marriage. One of their daughters was born in November that year, followed by a second daughter in 1949.

In 1952, after the couple’s divorce, she moved with her daughters to West­chester where she worked for the Nestlé Company and Reader’s Digest. She and Mr. Osborne were remarried in 1964, and she returned to East Hampton, where their third daughter was born in 1965. When the marriage once again ended in divorce, she moved back to Westchester, going to work for the New York Medical College in Valhalla, N.Y., for many years.

After her youngest daughter, Stephanie, left for college, she moved to Pelham, N.Y., to be near her daughter Deborah Morgan and her two grandsons. She joined the Pelham Manor Club and became a weekly fixture at its bridge games, where she enjoyed the camaraderie and her fellow players enjoyed her sense of humor and joie de vivre, her family said.

In 2009, she joined her daughter Jacqueline Osborne in California, where she lived until her death. She remained a Yankees fan and continued to devour the sports section of The New York Times.

Regardless of where Ms. Coy Osborne lived, she maintained her friendships with former classmates and friends in East Hampton. She often came here to visit, staying with a brother or sister, who each had weekend residences in the area. While here, her family said, she never missed the opportunity to join a spirited game of bridge at the home of the late Alice Osborne Hamm on Buell Lane in East Hampton Village.

Ms. Coy Osborne is survived by two of her daughters, Stephanie Phillips of Somers Point, N.J., and Jacqueline Osborne of California, as well as two grandsons. Her daughter Deborah Morgan died before her. According to  Jamie Coy Wallace of East Hampton,  a niece, she was a beloved member of the Coy and Osborne families and will be especially missed by her many nieces and nephews.

A vigil was held and a memorial Mass said at St. Louise De Marillac Catholic Church in El Cajon, Calif., earlier this month. Her ashes are to be brought to East Hampton in the summer and a funeral Mass is to be celebrated at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church. Donations in her memory have been suggested to Alzheimer’s San Diego, 6632 Convoy Court, San Diego 92111 or to Most Holy Trinity Church, 57 Buell Lane, East Hampton 11937.

Herbert E. Field of Springs and more recently Amagansett, whose early youth was interrupted when his father, two uncles, and a family friend were killed in the 1938 Hurricane while tending their traps behind Gardiner’s Island, died on April 18 at the Hamptons Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in South­ampton. He was 92 and had been in failing health.

Mr. Field had a productive and varied youth, from caring for crops and animals on his family farm in Springs to trap fishing and working half-days for Ferris G. Talmage after the hurricane to help make ends meet for his mother and three younger brothers. At age 17, with his mother’s permission, he joined the Navy and, with her help, was able to graduate from high school while serving aboard destroyer escorts as a motor mechanic. He did convoy duty for nearly three years until the end of World War II. During that time he crossed the North Atlantic several times and made several trips along the European coast to the Mediterranean, as well as performing other escort duties.

After the war, Mr. Field married Esther LaMotte of Red Lion, Pa., a Navy nurse, and they moved to Shelter Island, where he worked and his first two children were born. In 1947 he bought a farm and moved upstate to a small town, Morrisville. While attending night school at Cornell, an hour and a half away, to study agriculture, he began growing potatoes, but lost most of his crops two years in a row. Together with one of his three brothers, he then started driving school buses, hauling produce to New York City, and at the same time running a dairy farm, while his wife continued working as a registered nurse.

A few years after that the brothers bought a second farm across the road and turned both of them into a high-producing dairy farm of between 300 and 350 acres.

When his brother moved back to Shelter Island in 1962, Mr. Field and his children continued to build up their farm’s milk production, applying the latest agricultural feed and techniques. By then he was missing the East End. He sold the farm in Morrisville while conditions were favorable and moved to Amagansett, where he bought a small farm with two milk cows and four horses.

Mr. Field worked as a carpenter with a builder for a couple of years and then decided to buy some construction equipment. He got into landscaping before beginning an excavation business with his son, Tom. He also became involved with the East Hampton Preservation Society to help protect the rich cultural history and character of the town he had grown up in.  He remained active with the group until his business picked up. The death of Mr. Talmage, who had been not only one of his best friends but also his mentor, hit him hard.

As he neared retirement, Mr. Field became more involved with the Springs Community Church, helping to infuse life into a number of church groups. He also continued to garden, raising many vegetables that he shared with his friends. According to his son, he continued to pick beach plums, wild blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, elderberries, grapes, crabapples, rosehips, and cranberries, if he could find them. “He knew how to prepare virtually any fruit, vegetable, fish, or meat for canning. He enjoyed making jellies, baking pies, muffins, and breads, and could cook just about anything and do it right,” his son wrote.

Mr. Field was born at Southampton Hospital on Aug. 3, 1924, one of four sons of Herbert S. Field and the former Abigail Edwards. One brother, John D. Field of Clinton, Mass., survives. In addition to Thomas F. Field, who lives in Amagansett, he leaves two daughters, Mary E. Stewart of Oneida, N.Y., and Rachael E. Epstein of Fishkill, N.Y., as well as 11 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. His marriage to Ms. LaMotte ended in divorce.

According to his son, Mr. Field was deeply appreciative of the devotion shown him by his doctors, ambulance personnel, and friends, all of whom helped him in any way possible as he became less able to do things for himself.

A memorial service for Mr. Field will be at the Springs Presbyterian Church on May 20 at 10 a.m.  He will be buried with military honors at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton.

The family has suggested memorial donations to the Springs Community Presbyterian Church, 5 Old Stone Highway, East Hampton 11937, or to the Amagansett Ambulance Company, P.O. Box 911, Amagansett 11930.

This has been updated to correct Mr. Field's date of death, the spelling of a daughter's name, and the date and place of his memorial service.

James Anthony McCann, a longtime resident of East Hampton who moved three years ago to Spokane, Wash., died there on April 8 of renal failure. Mr. McCann, who was 66, had had a number of other health complications over the past year.

He was born in Brooklyn on Sept. 18, 1950, the only child of James W. McCann and the former Mildred Morisie, and grew up in West Islip, graduating from West Islip High School. A talented athlete, he was a star of both the football and basketball teams. To this day, some of the records he set on the court remain unbroken.

After high school, he maintained an active lifestyle, enjoying surfing, sailing, skiing, tennis, golf, and sport fishing. He briefly attended New York University. A music lover and woodcarver, he became an apprentice at Favilla Brothers in New York City, a well-known maker of quality stringed instruments. A move to Boulder, Colo., led him to new career prospects. He managed a club called the Blue Note, booking its musical acts, and started an import and export business specializing in rare Native American artifacts, European furniture, and handcrafted Asian carpets.

When he relocated again, to Manalapan, Fla., he opened a successful tree nursery business in West Palm Beach. Eventually he returned to New York, where, starting in 1991, he split his time between the city and East Hampton.

Mr. McCann and his wife, the former Jenna Coffey, raised their three children, Mackenzie, Abigail, and James Shane, in East Hampton. The couple divorced in 2007 after 16 years.

She survives, as do their children, all of whom live in East Hampton. He is also survived by a son from a previous marriage, John Patrick McCann of Santa Barbara, Calif., a daughter from an earlier relationship, Iyree Smith of Columbia, S.C., and two grandchildren. Another son, Casey McCann, died before him, as did his parents.

Mr. McCann was cremated. The family will hold a memorial service in East Hampton at a future date.

Andrew Clark Ingraham Jr., who was the East Hampton Town attorney in the early 1980s and maintained a law practice here for many years, died of cancer after a long illness on April 5, in Beaufort, S.C. He was 71.

Mr. Ingraham, a skilled athlete, excelled at golf, fishing, sailing, and more. He took up skiing in his mid-40s with his children and quickly advanced to the expert slopes. He was proud of the paddle tennis championships he won at the Maidstone Club with his friend Kevin Graham, and also had fond memories of playing ice hockey at prep school, said his daughter, Erin Rogus.

Ms. Rogus, who lives in Nashville, and her brother, Andrew Ingraham III of Brooklyn, wrote that their father was “a loving and devoted father who found joy and happiness in his children.” He had been looking forward to becoming a grandfather in the fall, his daughter said.

His marriage to their mother, the former Kathleen Bradshaw, who lives in East Hampton, ended in divorce. Fifteen years ago Mr. Ingraham met Danielle Wagenhauser of East Hampton. They were eventually married. She survives. His only sibling, a sister, Kitty Arsenault, died in 2011.

Mr. Ingraham was born in New Canaan, Conn., to Andrew Ingraham and the former Carol Narten, and grew up there, attending the New Canaan Country School before graduating from Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. In 1968, following his graduation from St. Lawrence University, he served in the Army stateside for two years.

With a 1973 law degree from George Washington University Law School in hand, he worked for two years for the Legal Aid Society in Brooklyn, then moved to East Hampton and started his own practice, living first on West End Road, then on Georgica Road. He practiced law here until 2003, when he and Ms. Wagenhauser moved to West Bath, Me., where he did a lot of fishing with a faithful companion, his golden retriever Tucker. Her father owned golden retrievers for 40 years, Ms. Rogus said, and they were a great love of his. The Ingrahams moved to Beaufort in 2015.

The family will hold a memorial service in the Parish Hall of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton on May 20 at 2:30 p.m. All who wish to remember Mr. Ingraham, whom friends called Sandy, will be welcomed. His ashes will be buried at Fort Hill Cemetery in Montauk.

Memorial donations have been suggested for Honor Canines for Veterans, P.O. Box 77108, Charlotte, N.C. 28271.

Update: The memorial service for Andrew Clark Ingraham Jr. will be held at 2:30 p.m., not 2 p.m., on May 20. 

Morton Deutsch, who founded the International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution at Columbia University (now renamed for him) died on March 13 in New York City. He was 97.

Mr. Deutsch was known worldwide as an expert on conflict resolution and his extensive research was known around the world,  providing a framework for several Cold War negotiations, assisting in the peaceful transfer of power in Poland in 1989, helping to overturn racial segregation in the United States, and training teachers on Long Island and in New Jersey to deal with inter-student and gang violence in low-income communities.

“The Handbook of Conflict Resolution: Theory and Practice,” which he edited with Peter T. Coleman and Eric C. Marcus, became a standard manual for labor, commercial, international, and marital disputes.

Morton Deutsch was born on Feb. 4, 1920, in the Bronx, to Charles and Ida Deutsch, Jewish immigrants from Poland. By the age of 10, he was reading Karl Marx, and by 15, he was enrolled at City College of New York. After dissecting a guinea pig in a biology class, he switched his major from psychiatry to psychology and received a bachelor of science degree in 1939. Continuing his education, he received a master’s degree in 1940 from the University of Pennsylvania and a Ph.D. in 1948 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was there that he studied under Kurt Lewin, a German-American psychologist known as one of the modern pioneers of social, organizational, and applied psychology.

It was also at M.I.T. that he met his wife, Lydia Shapiro, when he was assigned to supervise a paper she had written for Mr. Lewin. They married on June 1, 1947, and remained together for almost seven decades. Marriage also prompted a book titled “Preventing World War III,” which he co-wrote.

Growing up in New York City during the early part of the last century, Mr. Deutsch experienced blatant prejudice against Jews and observed “gross acts of injustice being suffered by blacks,” according to an essay in his book “Reflections on 100 Years of Experimental Social Psychology.”

Over the years, Mr. Deutsch contributed money to the Spanish Loyalists in the 1930s, protested against high school cafeteria food, and took part in a strike by fellow waiters at a summer resort. After Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the Army Air Force and flew 30 missions over Nazi-occupied Europe.

Mr. Deutsch began teaching in the Research Center for Human Relations at New York University, and in 1951, together with a co-worker, Mary Evans Collins, produced a study comparing racially integrated housing in New York with racially segregated housing in Newark. Their research ultimately led to a reversal of policy in publicly funded developments.

In 1963, he made his final professorial move, joining the faculty at Teachers College, Columbia University, after being invited to found a social psychology doctoral program there. It became the International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution. Two major works during this period include what is considered his opus, “The Resolution of Conflict,” published in 1973.

Mr. Deutsch officially retired from teaching in 1990 and became professor emeritus of psychology and education at Columbia University. He also wrote more than 50 papers or book chapters between his retirement and recent years.

He and his wife had a house in Springs for 50 years, where they enjoyed spending weekends and extended periods until the house was sold two years ago. In addition to his wife, Mr. Deutsch is survived by two sons, Tony Deutsch, who lives in Florida, and Nick Deutsch, a cardiac anesthesiologist in Los Angeles, and by four grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.

John L. Damiecki, a member of a Bridgehampton potato-farming family, died of complications of pneumonia in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Jan. 26, with several family members by his bedside. He was 91.

Mr. Damiecki was a son of Polish immigrants, many of whom came to the East End at the turn of the 20th century. A champion of farmland preservation as he grew older, he owned vast tracts of land here, not only in Bridgehampton but also in East Hampton and Amagansett. Kenneth Damiecki of Bridgehampton, a nephew, recalled that after his uncle retired he cultivated a large, beautiful vegetable garden and was generous with its produce. He was a great storyteller, his nephew said, with a quick wit and sense of humor.

John Leon Damiecki was born at home in Bridgehampton on Feb. 20, 1926, one of seven children of Marcel Damiecki and the former Helena Berkoski. He attended the Bridgehampton School before joining the family farming business. He was a member of the Bridgehampton Fire Department, an honorary member of the Springs Fire Department, and a member of the Elks Lodge and the Long Island Farm Bureau.

Mr. Damiecki began spending time in Florida in the 1970s, always returning in the spring to Bridgehampton. He was a longtime parishioner at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton, where he served as an usher. His marriage to the former Anna Danowski ended in divorce.

She died before him, as did his sisters Sophie Kosinski and Jay Skretch, both of Bridgehampton, and Lois Beck of St. James, and his brother, Edward Damiecki, also of Bridgehampton.

He is survived by his son, Marcel Damiecki, his daughter, Susan Kosowski of Riverhead, two grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, his sisters Stephanie Pfeiffer of Hudson, Fla., and Marcella De Muth Gintowt of West Palm Beach. A dozen or more nieces and nephews, many great-nieces and great-nephews, and five great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews survive as well.

Mr. Damiecki was cremated. A memorial Mass will be said at Most Holy Trinity on June 10, with burial following at Sacred Hearts Cemetery in Southampton. Memorial donations have been suggested to the Gwen L. Kosinski Foundation Inc., 318 Roanoke Avenue, Riverhead 11901.
