Lucile Carter
Lucile Stewart Carter Brooke (née Polk; October 8, 1875 – October 26, 1934) was an American socialite and the wife of William Ernest Carter, an extremely wealthy American who inherited a fortune from his father. The couple and their two children survived the RMS ''Titanic'' disaster after the ship struck an iceberg and sank on April 15, 1912. She was said to be one of the heroines of the tragedy as she, with some of the other socially elite women, assisted in the rowing of one of the ''Titanic's'' lifeboats.
==Early life==
Lucile Stewart Polk was born in 1875 in Baltimore, Maryland. Her father was William Stewart Polk (1828–1917) and her mother was Louisa Ellen (née Anderson). Carter’s father was a partner in the very successful insurance brokerage firm Hopper Polk and Purnell of Baltimore〔(''The Washington Times'', September 08, 1917, p. 3 )〕 and was fairly wealthy. Many of the newspaper reports noted that he was a descendant of President James K. Polk.〔(''The Times Dispatch'' (Richmond), April 19, 1912, Page 9 )〕
Before her marriage, Carter was mentioned often in the social pages of the Baltimore newspapers. The picture on the left is a sketch of her in the newspaper ''Baltimore American'' in 1892 when she was aged 17.〔(''Baltimore American'', October 16, 1892, p. 9 )〕
