Notes for Carrie Agnes MOORE
• Some records record her marriage as 4 Feb 1895 ... the Maine State Archives, however, records the marriage as 1 Feb 1895.
• "My grandmother, Carrie, I remember well. She was a large boned woman with blue eyes and light brown hair. She was devoted mother and grandmother, helping any one who needed help. She raised a large family and helped raise many of her grandchildren. I remember living at my grandmother's house, where the old pot belly stove in the parlor and the wood burning cooking stove in the kitchen was the only heat. I also remember kerosene lamps for light, water being drawn from the well outside, and the old outhouse.
My grandmother raised chickens, ducks, cows, goats and pigs and kept a good size garden. She was a great cook and my favorite dishes were beans, bread and cottage cheese. She was "famous" for her biscuits. She was active and in good health up until she fell and fractured her hip at age 85. She died of pneumonia at the Brockton Hospital." [Dorothy HOLYOKE]
• "George and Carrie were members of the Cochesett Methodist Church as were their children and most of their grandchildren. Their farm house was destroyed by fire many years ago, the land is now in the possession of my brother William (Billy) HOLYOKE. Gone also is the huge old elm tree with our beloved old rope swing, a victim of the Dutch Elm Disease." [Dorothy HOLYOKE]
• "There remains an old family "tale" of Indian blood in the HOLYOKE and Moore families, but I have yet to find proof of this. My Uncle George A. HOLYOKE said that he remembers his grandmother Ella Houston HOLYOKE, had long black hair, black eyes and was affectionately called Squaw. Carrie said when they were living in Old Town, ME, an old Indian Medicine man who cured a cancer on my grandfather's nose with a plaster he made-up of "she knew what not." [Dorothy HOLYOKE]
• "Gram (Carrie) had a lot of strange old remedies that she used to cure a number of ailments of which sulphur was the base of most. She always had a bottle of Dr. True's elixir on hand for intestinal parasites. Every spring, without fail, she dug and cooked Dandelion greens and we'd eat them until they were out of season; she called them our "spring tonic" and we had to eat them. My father carried on this tradition up until the last year of his life." [Dorothy HOLYOKE]

Notes for George Alvin (Spouse 1)
• Some records lists George’s birth as “12 Jun 1873”, and even 29 Jan 1873
• Some records lists George’s death as “5 Apr 1935”
• George and Carrie moved from Maine to Masachusetts about 1905 and live briefly with Carrie sister “Mane” … this is where their son Olin was born.
• They bought a small farm in Cochesett (just outside of West Bridgewater). the farm house was destroye by fire, and the land is owned Leoni (wife of William Holyoke)
• "George worked as a shoe cutter for the old Diamond Shoe in Brockton, Plymouth, MA. He would take the train, which was the only available transportation to and from brockton. On pay-day, he would do the food shopping in Brockton before taking the train home. The old train station and it's tracks are long gone. I remember the station and the tracks at the corner of West and Crescent St., but I can not recall them being in use or if ever seeing a train. I don't remember my grandfather, but my mother told me he was tall and slim with dark brown hair and eyes, loved to tease, was a hard worker and loved his family." [Granddaughter - Dorothy HOLYOKE]
