Other Events and Attributes:

• MN Death Cert Checked: Y
• Minnesota Death Certificate: 1922-MN-005134

Notes:

According to Mike, a Charles Edgar Carr, b. 1854, was arrested with his cousin Harriet for larceny and receiving stolen goods in 1882. He was also arrested in 1878 for forgery and again in 1883 for larceny in a dwelling. He got a five year sentence for the 1883 offense. When he was released, he married Eliza, who was already pregnant with their first daughter, and left for Canada at the end of 1888.

At the time of his marriage to Eliza Ada Burridge, he was a 32 year-old bachelor clerk living at 90 Blueton Road.

In the 1900 census (June 1st), the Charles E. Carr family was living at 1917 Hillside Avenue in Minneapolis in a house that he rented. The family consisted of Charles E. Carr, 46 (born Mar 1854), a stenographer, Ada E., 28 (born Jan 1872), Sarah A., 11 (born Dec 1888), May Marie, 9 (born June 1890), Charles, 7 (born October 1892), Frances, 4 (born June 1895), and Ruth L., 1 (born November 1898). Charles and Ada were both born in England and had been married for 12 years. Ada had borne 5 children, all still living. Charles had come to this country in 1888; no similar information is shown for Ada or the children. Sarah is shown as having been born in England. May Marie and Charles were born in English Canada, and Frances and Ruth in Minnesota.

In the 1905 state census, he was living alone on Clark Avenue in White Bear in Ramsey County. He was a contractor and builder. His three youngest children, Charles, 12, Francis, 9, and Ruth, 6, were living in Minneapolis with a large number of other young children in what must have been an orphanage at 3200 Stevens Avenue.

In the 1910 census, he and his son are living in Mason City, Iowa, as lodgers in the home of a private family. The older Charles, age 55, is an architect in the building trade and is shown to be married for the 2nd time although no wife is identifiable in the household. The younger Charles, age 18, is a house carpenter. Both came to the U.S. in 1891.

He is probably the Charles Carr who died in West Minneapolis in 1922. That will be assumed in the information included here. That Charles Carr was born in England in 1852. He was a draftsman and the informant for his death certificate, Albert Moore, was apparently unsure whether Charles was married or divorced. Charles died of senility and arteriosclerosis. His body was donated to the anatomy department of the university although there was a “personal” burial on October 17th. This older Charles is not in the 1920 census. It is possible that Charles was a patient at an asylum.

Charles married Eliza Ada BURRIDGE on 1 Apr 1888 in London, England. Eliza (daughter of William Frederick BURRIDGE) was born on 22 Jan 1871 in England; died on 25 Mar 1941 in Hennepin County, Minnesota; was buried on 28 Mar 1941 in Sunset Memorial Park, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
