Description
Caroline C. Overstreet was born in 1802, the oldest child of Adam and Mary Cope. She lived for most of her seventy-three years in the city of Savannah, Georgia. She was married to a young merchant who died tragically, leaving her to bring up ·their two small children alone. She lost her only son to scarlet fever shortly after, and so lived until her death in 1876 with only the company of her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren.
