Title	Madame Bartlett Photographs
Subject	Ohio Women Arts and Entertainment Singers
Place	Boston (Massachusetts) LaGrange (Ohio) Lorain County (Ohio)
Description	These two photographs show singer Caroline Bartlett, also known as Madame Bartlett. The first measures 2.25" x 4" (5.72 x 10.16 cm), while the second is 3.5" x 5.75" (8.89 x 14.61 cm). Caroline Gardner Clark Bartlett (1867-1938) was born in LaGrange in Lorain County, Ohio. She was the daughter of a Civil War veteran and lived in Lorain County for a little over three years. Curtis Clark, whose parents were well known in Elyria, legally adopted her, and she moved to Rochester, New York, to live with him. When Bartlett's singing talent was discovered they moved to Boston, where she could get proper training. She became very well-known in the East and in Europe, where she instructed singing as well. She married James W. Bartlett on September 26, 1899. Bartlett was performing in England when World War I broke out. She could not leave the country, so she began assisting as an organizer with medical supplies and raising funds for the hospitals. She eventually became president of one of the largest hospitals in France. She was known for wearing a purple cloak and acquired the nickname "Sister Beatrice." Eventually rumors circulated that she was a German spy. She was never able to overcome them even with the help of government officials, and she resided in Elyria, Ohio while trying to clear her name.
