Hi Everyone,
I have been watching this list for ever it seems and have seen no
connection to my lonely great grandmother Agnes CARR. I recently found
this obituary in a box of memorabilia belonging to my grandparents and
hope it will help find a connection.
Orr Elkany CARR b. 16, December 16, 1859, in Redford, Michigan.
Married 7 Mar 1883 to Maria Jane Kirkland of Iosco Twp., Livingston
County. Died Saturday evening, September 11, 1937, At the old Carr home,
now owned and occupied by his son Robin and family.
He leaves to mourn their loss, two sons and their families, Roswell G.
of East Lansing, Robin K. at home; and many other relatives, friends and
neighbors. One son, Ralph, preceded him in death by thirteen months, and
Mrs. Carr by six years and seven months.
My Grandfather was Joseph Orr GRAY, b. 4 Jul 1886 in Southfield, MI.
his mother was Agnes CARR GRAY b. 26 Apr 1861, probably in Redford Twp.
Michigan. I am certain that Orr Elkany is Agnes's brother and I'm hoping
this information will lead to more information on my Carr relatives. My
mother remembers going to rather large CARR family reunions when she was
young in the Fowlerville, Livingston Co. Michigan area. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
