| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1910 spells the name as Carter [TIFF1910, DUNC1980] |
| Comment: |
Given the form of the signature and the date that Coster died, likely the window dates to ca. 1900 [DEDUCED] |

| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
In terms of dates, this might be the "Praise" window (ITEM:3.128.1.2) but the theme does not really match and this is not a memorial window [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED] |
| Comment: |
The inscription has the same (unusual) script as the "Pilgrims" window (ITEM:3.128.1.1) and both windows date to 1890, so likely Eloise Lawrence Breese (the sister of William, not the daughter) donated both windows [DEDUCED] |
| Same as item: |
