http://civilwar.illinoisgenweb.org/photos/carrin2.html On the banks of the Suwannee River, near the crossing of the Florida Railroad where the woods overhang the stream, is the historic "Old Wilmarth" cemetery. Here among the stone-heaped mounds of other pioneers is the grave of Marie- Catherine de Mauline Carrin. This tiny woman whose search for meaningfulness in life forced her from France to America, and carried her to the edge of the Sioux Indian Wars in the West, finally found peace in Florida. And though she had but 12 years of it before her death in 1877, she was fully reconciled that the years of searching had been rewarded. In the wilderness of Suwannee County, Florida, she and others of her day fulfilled their quest. Whether with ax or stewpot, gun or sermon, these were the people who helped open up America.
