New Hampshire has sent many able men and women to help make the world more livable. To us she gave Henry J. Carr, who was born in Pembroke, N. H., Aug. 16, 1849. His life was a long and useful one. On May 13, 1886, Mr. Carr married D. Edith Wellbridge, of Springfield, Ill. Mrs. Carr has been interested in the life work of her husband.

They have attended the American Library Association for many years. Miss Carr's presence for thirty-three sessions has won for her the title of "Great

Grandmother of The American Library Association."

Mr. Carr was a direct descendant of the first and second governors of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The son of Colonel James Webster and Jane D. Goodhue Carr of Pembroke, New Hampshire.

Mrs. Carr has long been a member of the Wing Family of America, Incorporated as well as a subscriber to the Owl.
