Mr Francisco M. Carrau

Mr Francisco M. Carrau (28) of Montevideo, Uruguay, boarded the Titanic at
Southampton with his nephew (?cousin) Jose Pedro Carrau (17).

Francisco Carrau, though very young, was an active member of the board of directors of one of Uruguay's traditional companies, Carrau & Co., well known importers and also in the maritime business. (The company is still working in the very different Uruguay of today). Instructions on business procedures he left when he died, were used well into the '50s.

According to family legend, when they went to board the ship, their cabin had not been
allocated, so calmly but with confidence, Francisco looked for someone in authority and
threatened to cause a tremendous fuss if the problem was not immediately rectified. The cabins were, apparently, quickly found.

On the night of the sinking, Mr Carrau and his nephew were observed by second class
passenger (and survivor) Mr Julian Padro y Manent standing with a fellow Uruguyan
passenger, Mr Ramon Artagaveytia. They were also seen by first-class passenger Mr
Elmer Z. Taylor. Mr. Taylor and Mr. Padro y Manent's versions of events differ quite
widely.

While Mr Padro y Manent reported the three men joking and relaxed, Mr. Taylor, who
later escaped the Titanic with his wife, in boat #5, clearly states that the Carraus were
not joking about the situation and appeared quite alarmed. See the entry on Mr Ramon
Artagaveytia for more details.

The two men died and their bodies were never recovered.

Master William Thornton Carter II (11) from Bryn Mawr, PA, boarded the Titanic at
Cherbourg with his father William Ernest Carter (36), his mother Mrs Lucile Carter (36)
and sister Lucile Polk Carter (14).

William just managed to join his mother and sister in Lifeboat 4 but it was a close thing.
After reluctantly allowing 13 year old John Ryerson into the boat Chief Second Steward
George Dodd had demanded 'no more boys,' but Mrs Carter put a hat on young
William's head and together they boarded the boat.

Mr William Ernest Carter

Mr William Ernest Carter (36) from Bryn Mawr, PA, boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg
with his wife Lucile Carter (36) and their children Miss Lucile Polk Carter (14) and
Master William Thornton Carter II (11). Also travelling was Mrs Carter's maid Ms
Seredeca and, in second class, Mr Carter's chauffeur Charles Aldworth. Mr carter also
brought his new 25 horsepower Renault automobile as well as two dogs. He would later
claim $5000 for the car and $100 and $200 for the dogs.

On the night of April 14 the Carters joined a dinner party held in honour of Captain Smith in the à la carte restaurant. The host was George Widener and the party was attended by many notable first class passengers. Later, after the ladies had retired and Captian Smith had departed for the bridge, the men chatted and played cards in the smoking room.

After the collision the Carters joined some of the other prominent first class passengers
as they waited for the boats to be prepared for lowering.

When William Carter had seen his family safely into Lifeboat 4 he joined Harry Widener
and advised him to try for a boat before they were all gone. But Harry replied that he
would rather stick with the big boat, and take a chance.

Widener might well have taken Carter's advice, for he lost his life while Mr Carter was
eventually able to escape. At around 2am he was standing near the officer's quarters.
Collapsibles A and B remained lashed to the roof but boats C and D had been freed and were being loaded. At one point a group of men desperately tried to rush boat C. Purser Herbert McElroy fired his pistol and the culprits were removed. Loading with women and children progressed but eventually no more could be found and as the boat was released for lowering Carter and another man stepped in. The other passenger was Mr Joseph Bruce Ismay

William Carter arrived at the Carpathia ahead of his family and waited on the deck
straining to see Lifeboat 4 which held his wife and two children. When it finally arrived
William did not recognize his son under a big ladies hat and called out for him, according to some sources John Jacob Astor had placed the hat on the boy and explained that he was now a girl and should be allowed into the boat, other sources suggest, the more likely scenario that it was his mother in response to Chief Second Steward George Dodd's order that no more boys were to enter Lifeboat 4.

Mr Herbert Fuller Chaffee

Mr Herbert Fuller Chaffee (46) was born on November 20, 1865 at Sharon, Litchfield
County, Connecticut, the son of Eben Whitney Chaffee and his wife Amanda Fuller
Chaffee. Members of the Chaffee family had lived in Sharon since the Revolutionary
War.

Herbert was educated in the common schools in Sharon, a seminary in New York, and
the Williston Seminary, a scientific school in Easthampton, Massachusetts. He graduated from the latter school in 1885. In 1887 he was living in Ellsworth, CT and in that year he entered Oberlin College in Oberlin OH where he studied at the Conservatory of Music. He enrolled for 2 years but probably moved to North Dakota to help run the family firm as he did not graduate.

While at Oberlin he met his future wife Carrie Constance Toogood of Manchester, Iowa.
They were married on December 21, 1887 and a son was born on September 28, 1888 in Amenia, ND.

Herbert's father came from Litchfield Co., CT and came to Dakota in 1875 where he
founded the bonanza-farming business "Amenia" -- Amenia-Sharon Land Co (organized with bondholders of the Union Pacific Rail Road) which had its headquarters in Amenia ND. Herbert Chaffee eventually became the chief executive officer of the family business which, at its greatest extent, controlled 42,000 acres of prime farmland, 34 grain elevators, a grain-trading firm, and three company towns with dozens of smaller company-owned businesses. Its holdings were worth perhaps $150 million in today's dollars. H. F. Chaffee, who routinely worked a 72-hour week, felt that this was only the beginning. He had developed sophisticated management systems and was constantly expanding the operation.

He continued in business in North Dakota, purchasing the interests of the remaining
investors of the Amenia & Sharon Land Company in 1893. "Through his sound
scientific and business judgment he established a farm business that is unique and
stands today as a memorial of his faith in the future of his adopted state and his
unswerving fidelity to high ideals." (Lonsberry 1917)

Chaffee was a Republican and a member of the Congregational Church.

Chaffee and his wife had been on a European trip and boarded the Titanic at
Southampton, travelling in first class. They were returning to their home in Amenia, Cass County, North Dakota.

Herbert died in the sinking. His wife survived.

After Chaffee's death, remaining family members ran the firm jointly but continually
disagreed on business strategy. In 1922 the company was dissolved and its assets
distributed. Very little of its holdings remain in family hands today.

Mrs Herbert Fuller Chaffee (Carrie Constance Toogood)

Mrs Herbert Fuller Chaffee (Carrie Constance Toogood), 47, was born on August 28,
1864 Manchester IA.

In 1886 she entered Oberlin College, Oberlin Ohio where she studied at the Conservatory of Music (1 year) and the College - Art (1 year). She enrolled for 3 years but in 1887 she met Herbert Chaffee. They were married on on December 21, 1887 and a son was born on September 28, 1888. Earlier that year they had moved to North Dakota where Herbert took charge of the family farming business so neither Carrie nor Herbert graduated.

Trained in music, she gave voice lessons to the children of prairie farmers while
managing a complex household and giving birth to six children: Eben Whitney Chaffee,
Dorothy Chaffee Stroud, Herbert Lawrence Chaffee, Florence Adele Chaffee, and
Lester Fuller Chaffee (one other child died in childhood). Mrs Chaffee was renowned for her decisive mind and her willingness to confront any situation.

Mrs Chaffee and her husband boarded the Titanic at Southampton, they were returning
from a European trip to their home in Amenia, North Dakota.

Mrs Chaffee was rescued from the Titanic, but her husband was lost. After his death
Carrie took an active role in managing the Land Company's assets, and was also a leader in charitable work in North Dakota and in Minneapolis MN, she was a charter member of & active in the American-Chinese Ed. Comm., Canton, China . She died July 4, 1931 in Amenia, ND.

Gladys Cherry

Miss Gladys Cherry from London, England boarded the Titanic at Southampton with her
cousin the Countess of Rothes.

The two ladies were rescued in lifeboat 8 and later Miss Cherry wrote to Able Seaman
Thomas Jones who had been in the boat with them in a letter which was published in
some newspapers:

WANTED TO GO BACK

LETTER TO TITANIC HERO

Thomas Jones, a native of Anglesey, who was an able seaman on the Titanic, has received the following letter, dated from the Great Northern Hotel, New York:

I feel I must write and tell you how splendidly
you took charge of our boat on the fatal night.
There were only four English people in it-my
cousin Lady Rothes, her maid, you and myself-and I think you were wonderful.

The dreadful regret I shall always have, and I
know you share with me, is that we ought to have gone back to see whom we could pick up; but if you remember, there was only an American lady, my cousin, self and you who wanted to return. I could not hear the discussion very clearly, as I was at the tiller; but everyone forward and the three men refused; but I shall always remember
your words: "ladies, if any of us are saved,
remember, I wanted to go back. I would rather drown with them than leave them." You did all you could, and being my own countryman, I wanted to tell you this.

Yours very truly, Gladys Cherry.

The Henley and South Oxfordshire Standard
(incorporating "The Henley Free Press"), 7th
June 1912 (p.3)

In an interview Jones said that there were thirty-five ladies and three men in his boat.
When he saw the Titanic had sunk he wanted to go back and save some of those
struggling in the water, but was overruled.
