Dr. Carolyn "Carrie" Dewey Beebe was a daughter of Dr. James R. Dewey and his first wife, Eliza Jane Eells Dewey.
She married Dr. Curtis Meserve Beebe on September 6, 1883 and they became the parents of Dewey Sheldon, Charles Dewey, Gladys Marguerite, and Curtis Meserve Beebe, Jr. The marriage ended in divorce in 1904 and Dr. Curtis M. Beebe moved to Los Angeles, where he remarried.
Carrie graduated from the Denver Homeopathic College in 1903 but ill health prevented her from practicing her medical profession.
Her obituary, published in the Denver Post for Thursday, March 14, 1905 indicated that Carrie had been "suffering from heart trouble for several years...two weeks ago, she was removed to her home from the Denver Homeopathic Hospital and had since been confined to her bed. Yesterday, Dr. Beebe appeared better than for several days. Late in the afternoon her son, Dewey S. Beebe, on going to his mother's room, found her lifeless. He had been in the room only a few minutes before, while Dr. Beebe was taking her evening meal, and she appeared as well as usual. After completing her dinner Dr. Beebe had evidently risen from her bed and placed a tray containing dishes on a table and had then returned to bed. It is supposed that she was stricken with apoplexy and died instantly."
Carrie was preceded in death by infant sons Charles and Curtis, her mother, her sister, Gracie, and two brothers, Jamie and Charles E. Dewey. She was survived by her son Dewey S. Beebe and her daughter Gladys, her father, and one brother, Dr. Elbert E. Dewey.
Carrie is buried in Graceland Cemetery, Chicago, IL.
