'''"Carry Nation" (Nov. 25, 1846 – June 9, 1911)''' was a key member of the [[Woman's Christian Temperance Union]] (WCTU) in the late 1800s and early 1900s. She is most well known for busting up saloons with a hatchet. Her family moved several times before settling in Cass County, [[Missouri]]. Although her father signed her name as "Carry" Amelia Moore in the family Bible, she used the spelling "Carrie" through much of her life. She reverted to "Carry" to help promote her [[temperance]] activities.
