On October 3, 1897, she was married to Clarence Macumber. Twenty years of their married life were spent in Winterset, the others in the Ord community. Their home was blest with one child, a son, George, who with his wife, his father and a close friend, Anna Hartsook, tenderly cared for her for many many weeks.

Carrie was always interested in the best activities of the church and encouraged the promotions of the best interests of the community. When she knew the end was near she expressed her happiness and fearlessness of the approach of death. Carrie was a noble woman, had that rare gift of making and keeping friends. She was a home lover, a devoted and happy wife, an ideal mother, a loyal daughter, an understanding sister, a true friend and an unselfish neighbor.

She is survived by her husband, son, daughter-in-law Bernice, aged mother living in Winterset and two brothers, Oscar of Peru and John of Winterset.

Rev. W. C. Porter assisted by the Reverend A. R. Weed conducted the services at the Ord church Wednesday, November 11th and the interment was in the Winterset cemetery, where the Winterset Eastern Stars held the final service.
