Frances Carroll Collection
| Fran Carroll was born Jan. 28, 1916. She graduated from Bates College in
Maine in 1939. She was working on the Manhattan Project at Columbia
University in New York when
she met William T. Allman, Jr. (SED Oak Ridge).
They married in Sept., 1945, and went to live in Oak Ridge. They lived in
various places throughout their marriage in Tennessee, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Maryland, and Virginia. She was a homemaker and had 7
children. When her children were grown, she went to work as a group
counselor in a halfway house for boys. After retirement, she lived a full
and active life until she died in April, 2002. The letters listed below were written by Fran Carroll to Sgt. William Allman while he was at Oak Ridge and she was at the SAM Lab at Columbia University. Also included are letters she wrote to her mother and father both before and after she and William Allman were married. They have been provided to us by their daughter, Toney Allman. (NOTE: These letters offer an important insight into how people dealt with living in war-time America working on a super-secret project) |
