Note: Ruth Carr was listed in the 1910 Census in St. Louis living with her daughter, Hattie (Harriett) Redmond, Nee Carr. I also found a marriage
record for Amos and Ruth (Winn) Carr in the IGI index. The marriage record
is without documentation. [Don Clendenin]
Grandma Carr
In one of Aunt Beulah's letters, she said that during the panic of ??? (she probably meant 1893) according to grandad Harman; Ruth Carr and her
son, Amos broke up the furniture to keep warm because they were too
shiftless to cut wood. I don't know if Amos and Ruth had a son named Amos,
I've never heard that from anyone else. I do know grandma Julia (Carpenter)
Harman absolutely detested her grandma Carr.

Jim, I dug out an old letter from Harvey & Velta (Mallow) Harman. The
Mallows did a much better job of keeping family records than the Harmans.
In fact, in this letter, dated Sep. 12, 1871, Velta says,"You know your
grandma Julia didn't like to talk about her family." The fact is that
grandma loathed her grandma Carr, and grandad said Ruth Carr was the
meanest woman he'd ever met.
