Carrie was the daughter of John and Jane W. Zettle.
She married Price Tarner in 1897 and had at least two children: Margaret Jane and Anna Mary. Margaret may have died as a child. Anna appears in Philadelphia on census records, once with her mother and once with the her grandmother Jane Zettle and the Kylars. She is listed as adopted.

Carrie lists herself as married oin 1920 and widowed in 1930, though Price did not pass until 1937. She and Anna are not with him on the 1910 census, so I assume they were divorced.

On the occasion of her 100th birthday, several newspapers reported that Carrie attributed her
longevity to kosher dill pickles (the more sour the better), respect for all people, belief in God and a temperate life. She was living at the Saunders Home for the Aged in Wynnewood, PA at the time.

An ancestry.com record shows she purchased a plot at Mount Peace and I therefore assume she is buried there.
