Grandma Jesse's beautiful mother.  She wrote about Carrie in the large family history book that was passed down to her:

The opsite [sic] page tells much of my mother & leaves out much.  As the baby of a well to do family she was pampered & highly educated.  She had a brilliant quick mind.  Those she loved she loved deeply.  Those she disliked she stayed away from.
She had a great love for Children [sic] and flowers.  Was very religious.
I feel most of the appreciation for good music & lititure [sic] she taught me.  She was firm but gentle.  From the age of 42 she had Parkinson disease.  But not one time did I hear her complain about it.
Our home lost much with her passing -- her great faith & courage was an insperation [sic] to us all.  The courage she taught me has stood me in good stead.  She was even at a very old age eager to keep up with world affairs and new inventions, and ready to face life & death as it was.  She lived with us for 20 years.  
-- Jessie S. Shoemaker, daughter

It looks like someone has written on the right:
"Happy New Year"?

Any guesses as to what year this image would be?
