Later Life
William Patrick Hitler served in the U.S. Navy as a Pharmacist's Mate (a designation later changed to Hospital Corpsman) until he was discharged in 1947. He had been wounded in service during the course of World War II.
After leaving the Navy, William changed his last name to Stuart-Houston, married, and moved to Patchogue, Long Island, where he and his wife had four sons. Stuart-Houston built upon his medical training to establish a business that analyzed blood samples for hospitals. His laboratory, which he called Brookhaven Laboratories, was located in his home, a two-story clapboard house at 71 Silver Street, Patchogue.
Stuart-Houston was married to Phyllis Jean-Jacques, who was born in Germany sometime in the mid-1920s (she died in 2004). After their relationship had begun, William, Phyllis, and Bridget tried for some anonymity in the United States. William and Phyllis married in 1947, and they had their first son, Alexander Adolf, in 1949. They had three more sons: Louis (b. 1951), Howard Ronald (b. 1957, d. 1989), and Brian William (b. 1965).
William died on July 14, 1987 in Patchogue, New York, and his remains were buried alongside those of his mother, Bridget, at the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Coram, New York. Phyllis died on November 2, 2004.
Howard Ronald Stuart-Houston, a Special Agent with the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service, died in an automobile accident on September 14, 1989 having fathered no children. Howard Ronald is buried in the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Coram, New York.
Though none of the brothers has children, Alexander, now a social worker, has said that he knows of no sort of pact to intentionally end the Hitler bloodline. This is addressed due to speculation that such an agreement had been made.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Unfortunately, life may sometimes seem unfair to middle children, some of whom feel like an afterthought to a brilliant older sibling and unable to captivate the family’s attention like the darling baby. Yet the middle position offers great training for the real world of lowered expectations, negotiation, and compromise. Middle children who often must break the mold set by an older sibling may thereby learn to challenge family values and seek their own identity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“We’ve only just begun to learn about the water and its secrets, just as we’ve only touched on outer space. We don’t entirely rule out the possibility that there might be some form of life on another planet. Then why not some entirely different form of life in a world we already know is inhabited by millions of living creatures?”
—Harry Essex (b. 1910)
