| | The Cary Sisters |
 | | Alice Cary (April 26, 1820-February 12, 1871) and Phoebe Cary (September 4, 1824-July 31, 1871) were in their day well known and loved for their poetry and other writings. |
 | | Alice often claimed that the ghost of little Lucy, in her favorite red dress, was seen a number of times on the farm, once by a young nephew unaware of the child's existence. |
 | | Fetterley characterizes Alice, as a writer of fiction, as "a master of the uncanny, of the dream sequence, of narrative generated by the logic of deeply interior and nonrational psychic life," in the tradition of Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne. |
