Caroline Bonnell was returning to the United States following a tour of Europe with her aunt and second cousins (the Wick family of Youngstown, Ohio) when Titanic struck the iceberg. All the women of the party – Caroline Bonnell, Elizabeth (Lilly) Bonnell, Natalie Wick and Mary (Mollie) Wick – boarded lifeboat number eight and survived the disaster. George D. Wick remained onboard and died in the sinking. His body was never recovered. |
