"The Milton Journal", Milton Wisconsin, Thursday, June 12, 1902, p1. Mrs. Caroline Ensign Berkalew Sweet, was born in Conn., May 7, 1826, and died in Milton, Wis., June 4, 1902. She had therefore just passed her 76th birthday. When she was a mere child her parents moved to New York, settling in Broome county near Binghamton; there she was married to Mr. John Berkalew; there, in the same house, all of her children were born, five daughters and three sons; there Mr. Berkalew died in 1861, and there one daughter still lives. A younger sister, Miss Elizabeth Ensign, was married to Mr. Ezra Goodrich and was a resident of Milton, and to this village Mrs. Berkalew came with several of her children in August 1871. Not long afterward, she was married to Mr. Perry Sweet who died on March 20th, 1897. In the autumn of 1878, Mr. and Mrs. Sweet moved to Cartwright in Chippewa county in this state, which was then little more than a lumber camp managed by Uncle David Cartwright and his sons. They at once took a deep interest in the religious welfare of the little community. Mrs. Sweet gathered in her dining room the first Sabbath school held in the place and for some time the same room served as meeting house for weekly prayer meetings and occasional preaching service when the community was visited by a preacher. It is probable that the S. D. B. church of Cartwright was organized in the same house. Later, when a meeting house and parsonage were to be built, Mr. and Mrs. Sweet gave the lots for them, from a corner of their farm adjoining the village. When Mr. sweet's health began to fail, they sold their property in Cartwright and came back to Milton in 1894, but they continued to hold a deep interest in the church and society in Cartwright. Mrs. Sweet was a woman of a deeply religious nature, and lived an earnest, conscientious, devoted life. In the old home near Binghamton she became early in life a member of the Presbyterian church. On coming to Milton she made a conscientious study of the Sabbath question and soon became a member of the S. D. B. church in Milton. In the organization of the church in Cartwright she became one of its constituent members, and on returning to Milton she again united with this church in which fellowship she remained faithful and greatly beloved until the end. The funeral was from the S. D. B. church June 5, conducted by the pastor, Dr. Platts. A large number were present to honor the memory of a noble life. Appropriate music was furnished by a ladies quartet. Interment was in the Milton cemetery.
