Death came as a peaceful sleep to Mrs. Terressa Quinby Carver at her home on East Hill on Tuesday morning, August 14, 1900. after an illness of but a few days.
Mrs. Carver was the oldest resident of Sharon, and had attained her 93rd year, having been born May 7, 1808, in Howland, a few miles west of Sharon. She was the daughter of Samuel and Achsah Park Quinby. Her father was a Revolutionary soldier and a pioneer settler of Sharon, removing here from Howland in 1808, the year Mrs. Carver
was born.
Mrs. Carver was the sole survivor of her family of twelve brothers and sisters. Among the latter were Mrs. T. J. Porter, Mrs. Lewis Reno, Mrs. Isaac DeForest and Mrs. Daniel Budd, whose descendants are well known citizens of Sharon and vicinity, and Mrs. John Reeves, who lived at Warren, Ohio. She was married in 1833 to the late C. G. Carver, long a prominent citizen of Sharon, and who died in 1874. Two sons were born to them, our townsmen, J. L. and C. Q. Carver, who mourn the loss of a mother to whom they were both devotedly attached.
By reason of the military service of her father in the Revolutionary War, Mrs. Carver was a "real" Daughter of the American Revolution, and was a member of Pittsburgh Chapter, D.A.R. A few months since, as we noted at the time, she was presented by the Chapter with a gold spoon, as a souvenir of the fact that she was a "real" Daughter, of whom there are but a few now living, as distinguished from those whose Revolutionary ancestry were more remote.
