I saw Carrie Abel's gravestone in this cemetery on one of my 3 visits between September 1991 and October 1995. It was a short white slab (similar to how many footstones appear), still stuck into the ground, and was located about 6" behind the very large gravestone of her mother, Sophia (Yousse) Abel. Sophia also had a "Mother" footstone.
The gravestone said Carrie, daughter of ____ Abel, died Sept. (7 or 17), 187__, at age 3y __m __d.
Her parents married in September 1870. Considered along with gravestone info, that means Carrie was born 1871-76 and died in September of 1874-79. I was unable to find a newspaper mention of her death, but there were issues missing in the source I was using.
