According to family members, Effie loved all of her grandchildren and would light up when they came to visit her in Amityville, NY. There aren’t many memories of her that have been passed down, however she was said to be stern by some and loving by others. Today for Black History Month and on Valentine’s Day I honor Effie Valentine Squires Carpenter who had she miraculously lived would’ve been 130 years old.
Born February 14, 1888 in Connecticut my Great Great Grandmother Effie Squires was given the middle name Valentine because of the date of her birth. Effie the eldest girl, settled on Long Island with her 7 siblings and her parents Abraham and Salome. She would go on to marry Stephen Carpenter who was four years her senior. Their union produced 4 children including my Great Grandmother Myrtle.
