Biographical History |
Caroline Rose "Cara" Foster (1877-1979) was born in Brooklyn, NY and came to Fosterfields as an infant with her parents while her mother was ill. Emma's sister, Caroline (known as Aunt Carrie) and mother, Phoebe, both lived at the Willows to help raise young Caroline after her mother's death. She attended Miss Dana's School from 1886 to 1896 where she made friends with a number of local socialites. Charles Foster "Charlie" Thompson, the son of Emma's younger brother William "Uncle Bill" Thompson and his wife Maude, came to live at Fosterfields for a time in the 1890s and early 1900s and later served in WWI. Caroline was also close with her father's youngest sisters, Alice and Emma Phelps Foster, who lived in Hartford, CT and left her a large portion of their belongings. |
