| Sarah Etta {Freeman] Carpenter (1858 - 1945) |
My Great Grandmother, Sarah Carpenter, was born March 27, 1858 in East Douglas, Massachusetts. Her family later moved to Lincoln, Rhode Island and it was while living there that she met her future husband, Samuel Eber Carpenter of Cumberland, Rhode Island. They were married on June 15, 1887, less than three months after Sarah turned 29. Sarah lived the rest of her life in Cumberland, Rhode Island residing at 551 High Street, the Carpenter/Miller family home. Sarah died on July 24, 1945 and is buried in Swan Point Cemetery in Providence.

Your Sarah has such a beautiful complexion. She looks very clear-eyed and innocent. I wish the photograph showed more of her dress.
