Caroline Mallett	Family

---

Caroline "Carrie" Mallett was the youngest child of James Mallett and Elizabeth Crook. The above photo was taken about 1870. She was born in Wilmot Township, Ontario, Canada, in 1847. She first married Edward Thrupp, in 1869. She and Edward had a farm in Yarmouth Township, Ontario, just outside of the village of Port Stanley, along the north shore of Lake Erie. They had a son, born in 1870, who died as a baby. Their second child, a girl called Edith, was born in 1871. Edward died pf pneumonia in 1872, the result, the story goes, of having a bit too much to drink one evening in Port Stanley, falling from his horse on the way home, and spending a good portion of the night passed out in a snow bank. Little Edith was not yet a year old.

Carrie carried on and raised Edith by herself until she married John Price, a merchant from Port Stanley, in 1880. Carrie then moved into Port Stanley village, and with John, had 3 more children: Marion, Morton, and Alma Price.

Edith Thrupp married James McCracken, and settled in London, Ontario, where she and her husband are buried in Woodland Cemetery. Edith's daughter Mildred married Charles D'Arcy Spittal, and also lived in London, as did her brother Edward. None of the Price's had any offspring, but Edith's descendants still live in Southern Ontario. Some of them are connected to the Labatt (as in beer) family from London, and the Jarvis (as in Jarvis Street) family from Toronto.

Carrie, Edward Thrupp, and John Price are all buried at Christ Church Anglican in Port Stanley.
