Message: [QUOTE="Ben Holme, post: 268212, member: 136397"] Hi Brian, Miss Willard was apparently travelling in the company of the Carter family of Philadelphia. Constance's aunt, anxious that her neice would be returning to Duluth alone, solicited the help of William Carter, who agreed to allow the 20 year old to accompany them on the return journey from London and across the Atlantic. Craig Stringer's excellent CD "Titanic Poeple" provides more detail on this. Strangely, neither Constance of the Carters mentioned eachother in later acounts, although they undoubtedly departed the sinking liner together on boat #4. Both Constance Willard and Alice Silvey were particularly sparse on meaty details in their brief accounts of the sinking (the ones that I've found, at least). Hence, we have little record of the shipboard actions and movements of these three Duluth residents. However, I would imagine that Constance would have at least recognised the Silveys who were promient in Duluth. Best Regards, Ben [/QUOTE]
