Died: March 27, 1934, Portland, Oregon. Buried: Rose City Cemetery, Portland, Oregon. Carrie’s family moved from Vermont to Vineland, New Jersey, and she spent most of her life in southern New Jersey. She married Frank Breck, and they moved to Oregon between 1910 and 1920. A devout Christian, she was devoted to her husband and five daughters. She had no sense of pitch, and could not carry a tune, but she had the gift of poetic rhythm, and wrote more than 2,000 poems. She was not particularly robust in health, and had to take frequent rests while doing chores. At such times, she would sit in her favorite rocking chair, take up a notebook, and write poetry, often with a baby on her knee, or playing at her feet. Her works include: To Comfort Thee, and Other Verses (Portland, Oregon: Metropolitan Printing Company, 1927) Hymns All the World for Jesus At Mother’s Grave Be Strong Columbia’s Song Face to Face with Christ, My Savior Forward!

Lyrics There was One who was willing to die in my stead, That a soul so unworthy might live; And the path to the cross He was willing to tread, All the sins of my life to forgive. He is tender and loving and patient with me, While He cleanses my heart of the dross; But "there's no condemnation" I know I am free, For my sins are all nailed to the cross. I will cling to my Savior and never depart I will joyfully journey each day. With a song on my lips and a song on my heart, That my sins have been taken away. Chorus: They are nailed to the cross They are nailed to the cross O how much He was willing to bear! With what anguish and loss, Jesus went to the cross! But He carried my sins with Him there.
