He was born in Hudson, Columbia County, New York to Frank Farrand and Helena (Lillie) Willett Alger. He was the first of their three sons. (The second son was Palmer Chatterton Farrand who was born in 1903 at Hudson, New York and the third son was my father Frank Freeland Farrand who was born in 1908 at Manhattan, New York.)
Carl was first known for a short time as Charles Francis Farrand and he was baptized at Christ Episcopal Church at Hudson, New York on Sept. 29, 1897. He was most probably born at the Alger house at what is now 330 Allen Street. His father was then managing sugar plantations in the Dominican Republic but his mother went to Hudson, New York for the birth as she was a one-third owner of the Alger house at the time along with her sister Miss Sarah Palmer Alger and brother Charles Francis Alger. Carl shows up at the Allen Street house in Hudson, New York in the U. S. Census of 1900 as Charles F. Farrand when his mother was visiting Hudson, New York with him on a trip north from the Dominican Republic where her husband Frank Farrand was working.
According to my father, Frank Freeland Farrand, Carl fought in World War I in the trenches. I have no other confirmation of this. I found Carl's registration for the World War I draft which had the Santo Domingo residence of Carl's father Frank Farrand listed as Estate San Isidro, Dominican Republic, along with the information that Carl worked for the Lincoln Trust Company in Manhattan at 204 5th Avenue. Carl was living at 62 Brookfield Road with his aunt Miss Sarah Palmer Alger in Montclair, New Jersey at the time of the registration. He was also living with her at the same address in 1920 according to the United States Census of 1920.
Carl later was living with his mother Helena Willett Alger Farrand at the beautiful family Roseland Avenue, Essex Fells, New Jersey home on Sept. 13, 1923 when he was carried off by a heart problem. He was engaged to be married at this time and his family never recovered emotionally from this tragedy. His mortal remains were first put in a receiving tomb at the Prospect Hill Cemetery at Caldwell, New Jersey but were moved in 1924 to the very large Green-Wood Cemetery Farrand family plot in Brooklyn, New York which had been purchased by his great grandfather Joseph Steevens Farrand in 1860 when his first wife Elizabeth Carroll died.
