Rollin Fayette Carr was born in Ticonderoga, New York, on September 28, 1869, son of Westil Jones Carr and Mary Eva Coates. He married Maidie Tubbs in 1891. They lived in S. Hadley Falls, Massachusetts in 1900. He was a millwright. Maidie died of TB on April 4, 1908 in S. Hadley Falls.
After the death of Maidie, Rollin took "The Boston Boat" from Boston to Bangor, Maine, with his 7 young children. He worked in the Eastern Pulp & Paper Mill in S. Brewer. Sometime in 1909, Rollin left for work, and never returned; his children made wards of the state and declared orphans. The children lived out their lives without knowing the fate of their father.
Only many years later did family get word that Rollin Fayette Carr had died in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on April 24, 1947, and buried in a pauper's grave at the Prairie Home cemetery. From census records, family knows Rollin was in Waukesha in 1930, but it's still unknown when he arrived there.
Now, surviving generations would like to memorialize Rollin Fayette Carr's grave for the benefit of future generations.
