Caroline/Carolyn Foster
1868-1943 

Censuses show her as Caroline, Carolyn and Carrie, but she primarily used the nickname Carrie.

The daughter of Kinchen Rambo Foster and Melissa Ann Mayo Foster, Carrie was born and raised in Milledgeville, Georgia and wrote a column for the local newspaper "Sunny South." It was her column which lured Amos Horton III from Alabama to Georgia and their marriage Nov. 7th 1903 in Georgia. This would be her first and last marriage.

Marcia was their only child.

After Amos died in 1918 Carrie returned to Georgia.

Amos married first to Sarah Elizabeth Richardson (1841-1902) and of their six sons only two lived beyond age 24.
