Virginia · Richmond (city) · Richmond · Same House

Katherine Rebecca Carrier was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1909 and in 1929 married John Cramer Kindred, who took his medical degree in Richmond in 1930. By 1940 they were living in Queens, where he became owner and director of the River Crest Sanitarium founded by his father, and his death at Forest Hills in 1953 left her a widow with a son and two daughters.

Life

Katherine Rebecca Carrier was born in Richmond, Virginia, on 20 August 1909.1 The Richmond birth index and the city's birth records both enter her as Catherine R. Carrier, with the same date.1 The federal census of 1910 lists her, indexed as "Catherie Carrier," in the household of W. R. Carrier Sr. in the Marshall Ward of Richmond, and the census of 1920 lists Katherine Carrier in the household of William R. Carrier in the city's Lee Ward.2 Inference Since she appears as a small child in his household in both years, William R. Carrier Sr. was probably her father, but the census indexes in hand do not state the relationship and the tree records no parents for her.2

Marriage to John Cramer Kindred

On 21 December 1929 she married John Cramer Kindred in Virginia; the marriage is entered in the county marriage registers kept by the Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics under her full name, Katherine Rebecca Carrier.3 He was born in New York City and was educated at Randolph-Macon College and at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, which gave him his medical degree in 1930.4 The federal census of 1930 lists Katherine Kindred in Virginia, and the tree places her in Richmond that year.5 Several years later her husband joined the staff of the River Crest Sanitarium in Astoria, Queens, founded in 1896 by his father, Dr. John J. Kindred, and he became its owner and director.4 By 1940 the couple were in New York: the census of that year lists "Kathreine Kindrad" in the household of John Kindrad in the 6th Assembly District of Queens, a household that had been at the same address in 1935.6

Dr. Kindred died at the age of 50 on 25 October 1953, at the family home, 124 Slocum Crescent, Forest Hills, after several months' illness.7 His obituary describes him as owner and director of River Crest and associate psychiatrist at Queens General Hospital, a fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, at one time president of the National Association of Private Psychiatric Hospitals, and treasurer of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Forest Hills, where his funeral was held.7 He was survived by "his wife, Mrs. Katherine Carrier Kindred," a son and two daughters.7 Earlier that year, on 7 June 1953, an obituary of William Carrier Sr. named "Mrs. J. C. Kindred" among his family, and on 3 June 1956 an obituary of Mrs. Daisey V. Carrier named Mrs. Katherine C. Kindred, then of New York City.8 Inference Read with the censuses of 1910 and 1920, the two notices suggest that these were her father and, probably, her mother, but the index entries in hand do not give the relationships.8

Marriage to Frank Edward Wade

In 1957 the New York City marriage licence index records a licence for Frank Wade and Katherine Kindred, and the FamilySearch tree records the marriage in Queens that year.9 Frank Edward Wade was a Long Island builder who had married Hilda Webb at the same St. Luke's Church in 1933.10 The New York passenger lists for 1957 include a Katherine K. Wade, and the same index has a Frank E. Wade in the same year; the index entries in hand do not give a ship or a date.11 Inference The matching entries probably record a journey the couple made together soon after the marriage, but this rests only on the names and the year.11 As Mrs. Katherine C. Wade she was named in obituaries of Mrs. Dorothy Carrier Henshaw on 19 February 1959 and of Moses Edward Carrier on 3 January 1960, which the tree takes to place her on Long Island in those years; the index entries do not say how these Carriers were related to her.12

Death and a conflict in the records

The FamilySearch tree gives her death as 16 July 1972, with no place and no source attached, and places her burial in 1972 at Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, New York.13 The Find a Grave index, which the tree cites for her, enters her under the name Katherine R. Carrier Kindred rather than Wade.13 One record conflicts with the death date: the database "United States, Public Records, 1970–2009," attached to her profile, lists a Katherine K. Wade at Forest Hills in 2001.14 Inference Commercial public-records databases of this kind often carry addresses long after a person's death, and the record may also belong to another woman of the name; the 1972 date fits Frank Wade's remarriage in 1973, so it is the more likely, but it awaits a death certificate.15
