Judy:

Are you looking for a Thomas Carr by any chance? Stopped at a sale here in
the neighborhood. A young man is preparing for an estate sale of his
parents. They were Carr's. In the estate sale is a framed marriage
certificate for a Thomas Carr & I can't remember the bride's name. They
were married at White Church. The frame is in bad shape, most likely the
original. If it's still there I could probably get it pretty cheap, he's
selling everything.

Diane

Ps no Newton, Carr, or Donahue in the Kansas City College yearbook.
