Answer to the above trivia question: Both spellings are correct! She was Christened “Carrie” by her parents. However, once she married David Nation and realized her passion was to rid America of the evils of alcohol, she began spelling her name Carry. Thus, the meaning became clear; she would ‘carry a nation’ from alcohol.
