    Notes:

    The story that follows came from Evelyn Eberhardt, a great granddaughter of Caroline's grandfather, William Alexander McLaren (1806-1894):
    Caroline never weighed more than about 125 pounds and had black hair ? a lot of it when I saw her in 1985 at age 87 years.
    The Presbyterian Church sent young girls to many foreign countries. We know that she was in Japan and China for sure. When she and her husband George decided to make a trip back to China they hired a small airplane to take them to a place where she had done missionary work. On the way there the pilot had a heart attack. She took over and flew the plane the rest of the way. They were both in their 70's at this time. She had learned to fly as a young woman.
    When I visited her in 1985 the staff at the home where she lived thought all her talk about world travel was in her imagination.
    When her husband died they lived in Wellandport, Ontario. When she died in 1907 at the age of 100 years, she left her million dollars to the Presbyterian Church.
