At the age of four her foster mother died and she was reared by her foster sister, Mrs. H. C. Van Horn, then living at Welton, Iowa. During a brief residence of the family at Humboldt, Neb., Caroline was baptized in 1872 and joined the Seventh Day Baptist Church at that place.

Most of her married life was spent in North Loup where she has held her church membership since 1904. She lived with her daughter from 1954 to 1960 when she went to a nursing home.
Farewell services were conducted at Wheatridge, Colo., by Pastor Kenneth Smith, and at North Loup by Pastor David Clarke. Burial was at Hillside Cemetery, North Loup.
