More info sent to be added from another F.A.G. contributor: Caroline Doolittle Reiter is the daughter of Electa C Doolittle. Electa C Doolittle obituary is below: Mrs. Electa C Doolittle died in Oakland yesterday at the age of ninety-one years and four months. She retained all her faculties to within a few months of her death, and read the daily papers and magazines with the avidity of a young student. She was born in the state of New York, and witnessed this country pass through two victorious wars. Her home was on the shores of Lake Champlain during the War of 1812 and she witnessed the naval battle between the British and Commodore McDonough’s fleet. She saw the captured vessels brought to shore dismantled, with their decks covered with dead and wounded. She would relate these scenes from memory as vividly as though they happened but a few months ago. A descendant of revolutionary stock, she was intensely patriotic, and bid good-by to several of her descendants who volunteered in the late war, and never to return. She was the granddaughter of a sister of Roger Sherman of New Haven of revolutionary fame. Mrs. Doolittle came to this state some ten years ago. She was the aunt of Mr. Wm. H Sears, Mrs. Joe T. Hoyt, Mrs. D. H. Whittmore and Mrs. E. L. Cutter. She has one great-grand-daughter living in this city, Mrs. Edith Scott Waters, whose father, Wm. Waters, has long been connected with Morning Call – San Francisco Evening Bulletin. July 12 (no date given) Note from family member’s notebook: Roger Sherman of New Haven, CT was indeed a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He continued on in politics and was a U.S. Senator. You need to find a copy of “Families of Ancient New Haven” by Donald Lines Jacobus. The Shermans are on pages 1611-1618, and Roger on page 1616. The book was originally published by the New Haven Genealogical Magazine as 8 volumes 1922-1832, and reprinted as 3 volumes by the Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. of Baltimore MD in 1974.
