Monument at Pleasant View Cemetery in Glenburn, Maine says: "Edward K. Carver,
A member of Co. B 20th Regiment, ME Vols. Died 24 January 1899. Age 56 years, 1
month and 10 days."  The one month and ten days note would support the December
13 birth date in the town records, but not the 1841 birth year. The 1850
census also lists Edward as being 9 at the time of the enumeration in August of
1850.  The census taker may have given credit, i.e. rounded up since
Edward, in August would have been closer to 9 than to 8.  Or, as other records
suggest he was born in July 1842, but then he would only have been 8 at the
time of the 1850 census.  The June 8, 1860 Federal Census gives his age as
18.  This also favors the 1841 birth year as he would be 19 on either the
July or the December yet to come in 1860.  See notes on brother Leonard Dwight
Carver.
Note from Pauline L. Henderson, granddaughter to Edward Kent Carver through
daughter Mahala Maud Carver Henderson indicates that Edward was a farmer and
peddler of accessories.  He was in the Civil War. Also says that he was from
around LaGrange and Howland, Maine.

Middle name Maud obtained in note from Hazel Morrison Moor. Says there were
either (can't read writing) 7 girls and 4 boys or 4 girls and 4 boys.

In 1992 visit with daughters Pauline Henderson Crisp and Olga Henderson Smith
both said their mother's name, town records notwithstanding, was Maude Mahala
Carver, not Mahala Maud Carver.  They never knew it to be, or heard it, any
other way.  A second note from Hazel puts the e in Maude.

Pauline also provides an interesting account of how she and her husband had to
transport her mother's body in the family car in an all night drive from New
Jersey to Maine.
