(Carrie) Louise Freeman was born on the Coast of Maine to Capt. John Henry and Mabel Velzara {Larrabee} Freeman. It is reported that she weighed but 1.5 pounds at birth and had to be kept alive on moist towels over heated bricks. At age 10 she lost her mother and was brought up from that time until finishing high school by her much loved sister, Ethel {Freeman} Gonia. Louise graduated in June 1903 from Rockland High School, after completing the Scientific Course of study. Soon after that achievement she moved to Marlborough, Massachusetts to live with Eugene & Lizzie Larrabee, her uncle and beloved aunt. It was there that she met her future husband, Carl A. Clark, to whom she was married for 60 years at the time of his death. They wed on 16th September 1907. Louise & Carl had four sons, Robert Earl, Laurence Nelson, Lewis Freeman and Kenneth Edward Clark. She was very devoted to her boys, ten grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. Active in the Unitarian Church of Marlborough, where she sang in the choir as an alto for many years, she was a key member of the Ladies Alliance of the church. Louise was truly a good cook and let nothing go to waste. She remained very fond of lobster her entire life, given her origin at the source in Maine. She had a remarkable sense of humor and many unique expressions, as a result of her paternal grandfather's British roots. She never completely lost her charming down-Maine accent.
In addition to her sister, Ethel, Louise had two brothers, Eugene & Elmer, two half brothers, John Jr. & Ronald, and two half sisters, Gertrude & Eliza.
