Notes for Caroline EAGLESON
Caroline would walk to Cobourg with butter and eggs to sell, and stay overnight with relatives before returning home. She tended an immense garden in summer and was always knitting in winter. Wool from the sheep on the farm was cleaned, carded and made into roves in Baltimore ON. She had a spinning wheel in the room above the kitchen, where she made yarn. She was deaf in later years. She tried various hearing devices but none of them worked.30 Text of funeral card: "Entered into rest. In Cramahe on Sunday, June 14th, 1925.
