Married on 6 October 1857, in Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania.
Amelia Binkley Carolus one of Sterling's oldest and most revered residents, passed away at 10:15 o'clock Saturday evening, Feb. 8, at the home of her son, Dr. W. B. Carolus, at the age of 92 years. Mrs. Carolus suffered a fracture of her hip four weeks ago at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Alice C. Williams, 111 Seventh avenue, with whom she had made her home for more than 20 years. She was taken immediately to the Sterling public hospital, but her age precluded her recovery, in spite of the best possible care and when it became apparent that the shock was too great for her to sustain, she was removed to the home of her son, that she might pass her last days in home surroundings, under the care of her son and other members of the family. Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the home of Dr. W. B. Carolus, 405 First avenue, in charge of Rev. J. F. Baldwin, pastor of Church of the Brethren. Interment will be in the family lot in Riverside cemetery. Ann Amelia Binkley was born in Franklin county, Pa., Sept. 18, 1837, and was united in marriage to Isaac Carolus Oct. 6, 1857, in Chambersburg, Pa. They came to Sterling at the close of the Civil war and the family home has been in this city for 65 years. Mr. Carolus preceded her in death 21 years ago, and since the death of her husband she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Williams, with whom she and her husband had made their home before his death. All five of the children born to Mr. and Mrs. Carolus survive them, all living in Sterling as follows: Mrs. John N. Reed, 103 Ninth avenue; Dr. W. B. Carolus, 405 First avenue; Mrs. Alice C. Williams, 111 Seventh avenue; Dr. Irvin B. Carolus, 714 Locust street; Dr. Walter I. Carolus, 504 First avenue. One brother, Sheridan L. Binkley of Rogers, [Benton County] Arkansas, remains as the last survivor of 10 children. Mrs. Carolus will lovingly remain in the memory of seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, besides other relatives and a multitude of friends she gathered about her during her long residence in this city. Her passing removes one of the connecting links of the latter generations with the days of long ago, and leaves memories of a long and well spent life that epitomized the virtues of the home loving mothers of the past who lived in accordance with cherished ideals and kept faith with the eternal virtues.

The funeral services of Mrs. Amelia Carolus, held Tuesday [02/11/1930] afternoon at the home of her son, Dr. W. B. Carolus, on First avenue, were attended by a number of friends. Rev. J. F. Baldwin, pastor of the Church of the Brethren, read messages of comfort from the scriptures and drew a lesson of inspiration from the long life of Christian service of Mrs. Carolus. Many beautiful flowers bore a silent tribute of esteem and sympathy from friends. Mrs. Lloyd Carolus and Miss Mary Fritz sang two of the hymns especially liked by Mrs. Carolus, "Does Jesus Care?" and "Christian's Home in Glory". Mrs. Pearl Graehling was the accompanist. Interment was in the family lot in Riverside cemetery, the pall bearers being G. A. Over, John G. Dieterle, George Carolus, Edward Goshert, John Chryst and Harry Reed.
