Miss Carrie Douglass, fifth child of Leander and Isabella Douglass, was born in Byron She was educated at Stafford
and Le Roy.. Her ability as an artist is of no common order. Her paintings of scenery and fruit are excellent,
and for some time she carried on a studio in New York. She studied with Col. P. Staunton, of the Le Roy Art School,
and later with Frost Johnson, of New York. She is a niece of A. Hart Norris, and spends most of her winters at
Spring Garden, Florida, where she has the management of the Norris Spring Garden silk farm. The father of Miss
Douglass died on the Douglass homestead in 1872, and her mother in 1882. Besides attending to the duties of her
100 acre farm, and keeping up her artistic studies, she gives much of her attention to the Episcopal Church, of
which she is a member, and attends to the wants of the deserving sick and poor in her section of the town.
