Carrie had a nickname of "Toddie". Cy, (her grandson), always called her Grandma Toddie. According to Laura Balluff, she was known in their family as Aunt Toddie. No one is quite sure of the origin of the nickname. Cy said she liked to drink "Hot Toddies".
Carrie came from a large German family. Both of her parents were born in Germany and came to the U.S. to settle in Freeport, (Stephenson Co.), IL.
Carrie and the Balluffs were a pretty tight-knit family from most accounts. They (Carrie, her brothers and sisters and Charlie), had a large victorian home in LaGrange, (Cook Co.), Ilinois. Carrie and her brother, Edward, took a cruise from NY to England down to Germany to visit their "homeland". It was a long trip beginning June 28, 1928 and ending Aug. 21, 1928.
After her husband's death in 1938, she lived with her son, Carl. She eventually lived in Minnesota and died in a nursing home in 1952.
