Letter dated 15 Apr 1984 from Percy H. Carr to friends, including Lorenzo and Zilla Richards, including details of the death of his wife, Janet Noyes CarrApril !5, 1984 GREETINGS FROM THE CARRS More often than not Janet and I have delayed sending end~of~-year greetings to our friends until we are settled in Arizona for the winter. This year we are even later than usual. The explanation lies in the slightly modified obituary below from the Ames Tribune of April 9. The flood of sympathy notes from Janet's many friends make it almost impossible to reply to you all individually in a reasonable length of time. Please accept as a compromise this brief note of information along with my best wishes for each of you for many happy years of enjoyment on this planet. Janet Noyes Carr,77, 424 Stanton Ave., died April 2 in Peoria AZ where she was spending the winter. She was seriously injured two months ago in an automobile accident and had recovered from these injuries when she suffered a stroke. Her body was willed to medical science. No services are planned. (Sarah) Janet Noyes Carr was born March 26, 1907 in Binghamton NY to Thomas M. and Florence Dessie (Treadwell) Noyes. After graduation from Cornell University in nature study and wildlife she married Percy II. Carr. They moved to Ames in 1930. Mrs. Carr was well-known to many Ames residents for her care of orphanned wild animals. She nursed to health numbers of injured birds and animals, many of which became display creatures at the zoo in the Ledges State Park. She was a member of the United Church of Christ, Congregational. She is survived by her husband, Percy, 10701 N 99 Ave., # 126, Peoria AZ, a son, Robert and two grandsons in Monterey Park CA, and two cousins in New York state. At present I plan to continue the same course of life engaged in the last few years, summers in Iowa, winters in Arizona. I hope to join the robins in Ames the first week in May. \U#2dT YYYS -^AzZrCu •& A& '&UytZkyo+Z&v#^ 7/JBAIJ^ /SAT/L/L AU&e-A^, LXJ^y f^^CAAU *-7Lsuyy-YL. 7l-*-*L*cJ **-€_, A^J^^A^y - ^ ^ ir€ALy* A^~Z>~ y ^yufc ^T^^yy ( Af^^y @y4^j^<&^^
