This is why I think Abbie and Simeon's third daughter was named Carrie: because someone has written on the back of this photo: "Abbie Bullock's daughter, either Jessie, Carrie or Ida."

No date. Jessie was born in 1876, Ida in 1878, according to the 1880 Census. I haven't been able to find Carrie in any census.

There was a Carrie Bullock, apparently, whoever's daughter she may have been. The handwritten note on the back of this photo reads, "Carrie Bullock Winters taken Alma, Okla."

No notation as to date. The "pigeon front" style of her blouse was fashionable just after the turn of the century. I can't tell whether this young woman is the same one as in the first photo.

And this little undated photo has "Carrie Bullock?" handwritten on the back.

I believe that dropped-waist style was fashionable for little girls in the early 1880s.

[3/6/2015 update] Here is Carrie Bullock Winters' obituary, from the Hobart Gazette of September 7, 1917:

The description of her birthplace as "a farm west of Ainsworth" makes me think that perhaps she was born on the Bullock homestead.

In unrelated news, I finally got Ross and Hobart Townships from the 1874 Plat Book scanned and up in the "Land Ownership" page in the sidebar. And in the process found out that I can take the lid off my scanner without harming it. The things you learn by blogging!
