James was born in New York, his father Peter Carr. He married Pluma Chamberlin
28 Oct 1865 in Van Buren Co., Michigan. They had 5 children Marvin E. and Olive
passing in Michigan before they moved to Washington with William E., Floyd E.
and Minnie Ethel.
James married again after Pluma's death to Jennie M. Here is his obituary from
The Bellingham Herald:
VETERAN IS CALLED
The thinning list of Whatcom county's Civil War veterans was depleted by one
Thursday with the death of James Edwin Carr, 89, at his home at 1617 Grant
street. He had been ill for six months. Active in service from December, 1862,
until he was honorably discharged in June, 1865, Mr. Carr had been a member of
Company B, First Michigan Light Artillery. At the time of his death he was a
member of J. B. Steedman post, Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Carr had been a
resident of the city for thirty-five years and was a carpenter by trade. Besides
the widow, Mrs. Jennie M. Carr, two sons, two [only one named, guessing the
other might be a step-daughter] daughters and several grand and
great-grandchildren survive. The sons are W. E. Carr, Anacortes, and Floyd E.
Carr, San Francisco. Mrs. Ethel M. Raison, Ashland, Oregon, is the daughter. The
remains are resting at the funeral home of Harlow-Hollingsworth pending funeral
arrangements.

James was my great-uncle.
