Hello Neal and List members,
The Carrier children that are listed in the Pomeroy Children's Home are the
children of Eldorado C. and Margaret(Schoenlein)Carrier. William, Eldo and
Emma are my grandmother's siblings.
Eldorado and Margaret had 7 children. Eldorado died in 1897 and Margaret
died in 1899. The oldest child Henry David is found living with his
grandparents, Henry & Elizabeth(Reuter)Schoenlein in the 1900 census of
Meigs Co. The other 6 children were put in the Home or fostered out to
families to work for them. William, Mabel(my grandmother), Harry, Raymond,
Emma, & Eldo.
My grandmother lived with and worked for Margaret Hopkins. Emma was adopted
by a family in WV and name changed to Lena. Raymond was fostered out to a
family in WV. I'm not sure where the others were fostered out to. My
grandmother tried to keep in contact with her siblings, but did not know
where her sister Emma(Lena) was until later in life. My grandmother was 7
yrs. of age when her father died and 9 yrs. of age when her mother died. My
grandmother passed away in 1947.
Her line is:
Thomas & Martha(Allen) Carrier
Richard & Thankful(Brown) Carrier
Amos & Phebe(Kneeland) Carrier
Amariah & Honor(Hogins) Carrier
David & Elizabeth Betsey(Jacobs) Carrier
David Andrew & Lucetta(Morrow) Carrier
Eldorado C. & Margaret(Schoenlein) Carrier
Mabel Clara Carrier (my grandmother)
Hope this helps.
A Carrier Cuz......Jerri Huston
