Residence: 1900: Washington Township, Washington County, Iowa

On several occasions after their marriage, Carrie and Lee were separated for a week at a time. About 1911, Lee left for good and joined the army. After that he had essentially no contact with his children and did nothing to support them. Lee was stationed in El Paso, and retired a Colonel in Washington, DC.

After the final separation, Carrie studied and became a nurse in order to support her children. Her sister Sarah encouraged Carrie to move near her in Fort Wayne, Indiana; after Carrie moved the two fought constantly. Carrie's daughter lived next door to her, but died in 1968. Carrie then moved in with her granddaughter, Ann Ward (Bouillet) Eisinger in Maryland and lived there until she died.
