Mrs. Carr was one of the best though of women in Sedan. She was affectionate to her children and husband. Being of a very tender disposition she could bear no cross word or ugly temper and never gave any.

She was a devoted Christian, having united herself with the Episcopalian church in New York at the early age of fifteen and was an active member up to the time of her death.

In going through her effects after he death, her husband found every letter or little note and keepsake he had ever given or sent her before and after their marriage, all carefully tied up with ribbons and left to be given to the children when they got older. She had also carefully laid away four copies of pictures of each of the children for them to have when grown to manhood and womanhood. These and many other little incidents to show the kind, thoughtful traits, for she is the more missed by them.
She leaves, besides her father and husband, five children: Raymond, 12 years old, Harry, 10 years old, Earnest, 8 years old, Lillian, 5 years of age, and Maria Irene, only two weeks old. Mr. Carr has the heartfelt sympathy of everybody in Sedan in this sad loss, for all her friends feel the loss is theirs, as well.
