Notes for Caroline Athalie GOETH
Carrie, a remarkable little lady standing just under 4 feet 10 inches tall, always panicked whenever her weight would edge over 100 pounds. An outgoing person, she was well-liked and appreciated by her friends and loved by her relatives, especially by her grandchildren and later her great-grandchildren. Her natural rapport with even the youngest children resulted from her never talking down to them. Also, according to her daughter Yvonne, they were probably also fascinated by her because she was more nearly their size than other adults. In September 1908, she, her sister Anita, their aunt Mamie and their grandmother, Mrs. Walter Tips, traveled to Europe and spent a year, primarily in München. They departed from Galveston on September 26, aboard the North German Lloyd S. S. Chemnitz, the two sisters occupying Cabin 10 and their grandmother and aunt adjoining Cabin 8 on the upper deck. Returning to Austin the following fall, Carrie enrolled at The University of Texas, where she studied for a year or two and where she was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority. At a dance at the State Capitol in December 1916, Carrie was introduced to Mentor Etnyre, a lieutenant in the Army Air Corps, and they were married the following July in the back garden of the Goeth home. Mentor, a freelace geologist, traveled extensively in the United States, Canada and abroad, looking for petroleum and other mineral resources. After the arrival of their only child, Yvonne, in 1921, Carrie remained in Austin and lived with her parents, as her mother advised her against dragging a small child around the world.

After Julia suffered several strokes in the 1940's Carrie helped to nurse her and to manage the household. Carrie herself later suffered a light stroke, in 1955, but recuperated from it and continued to live in Austin until 1968 when she fractured her thigh. Thereafter, she made her home with her daughter in El Paso until her death in 1976.
