Carry A. NationCarry's DenturesThe dentures pictured below may have belonged to Carry Nation. They were discovered in a trunk from the house of Carry's niece, Callie Moore.
There is at least one account indicating Carry Nation had false teeth. Biographer Herbert Asbury related this story from 1906 regarding a serious situation with her dentures: In October she was again in Colorado, and at Trinidad, on the 13th, Charles Aiello ejected her from his saloon with such force that her false teeth were knocked down her throat. She finally coughed them up, but before she could close her mouth they fell into the gutter and were broken. For several weeks she could eat nothing but liquids. When her new teeth had been fitted, and she had regained her strength through proper nourishment, she went to Texas, and on December 30th invaded Houston and wrecked a saloon which the proprietor...had brazenly named the "Carry Nation Bar."
