Editor’s note: The reference to Clara instead of Carrie in the death notice appears to be an error. As mentioned in the notice and the organization’s resolution, she died Feb. 6, 1883, which matches death records and her tombstone. The death notice also identifies her as the daughter of James Robinson of Kings Valley. The 1880 census places her in the Kings Valley household of James and Sarah Robinson and she is buried next to them at Mount Union Cemetery.
