Mrs. Carroll was born in Boscawen, Apr. 1, 1853, the daughter of Lucy and Nathaniel Webster and a close relative of Daniel Webster. She lived in Rochester from 1903 to 1911 during her husband's career as superintendent of the city schools.

Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Laurence P. Tolman, of Reading, Mass., and Mrs. Almon G. Harris, of Penacook, N. H.; two sons, Carl H. Carroll, of Arlington, Mass., and Harry C. Carroll, of Chicago and 13 grandchildren. Mrs. Harris is the former Margaret E. Carroll, graduate of East High School in the class of 1907.
