Great Cranberry Island Historical Society
Description:
Quilt, postage stamp style of various colors including double pinks and brown madders with solid brown backing brought around to front with mitered corners creating a brown binding. Quilt is 97" x 75" with 1 3/8" squares. Handwritten note attached: "Quilt top pieced by Ladies from our 'Aid' in 1903 as a welcome home gift to Cara (Carrie) Richardson who had been her own captain and navigator on her second trip to the Orient in Peter's boat which she inherited on his death. Her house is near Carolyn Liebow's." [Note here that "Orient" may just mean away from Maine, per Ralph Stanley.] Mary Katherine "Carrie" Stanley Richardson (1848-1920) was the daughter of Enoch B. Sr. and Caroline H. (Guptill) Stanley. Capt. Lewis G. Stanley was her brother. She was the second wife of Capt. Meltiah Richardson (1828-1901) and mother of Emery Willard Richardson (1873-1883) and Charles Emery “Peter” Richardson (1885-1971). She attended higher education in Boston. She traveled with her husband on his vessel the Carrie M. Richardson and was an expert celestial navigator. Carrie is buried in the Stanley Cemetery. In 2001, the Great Cranberry Island Historical Society wrote and produced the original play, Carrie Richardson of Big Cranberry. [show more]
