Caroline Terry finally got her chance to live “beyond the rim” after the Civil War, when slavery was abolished. She settled in Sperryville, in a little house along the road now known as Route 211, where she lived a quiet life near several of her six children. She died in 1941 at age 108, and is buried only a mile or so from her home at the old Sperryville “colored cemetery” off Oventop Mountain Road.
