Caroline Tracy Dye, better known as “Aunt Caroline,” was a highly respected seer in Jackson County whose name was recognized in Arkansas and throughout the mid-South in the early years of the twentieth century. Dye, who never claimed to be a fortuneteller, enjoyed a large clientele from all over the mid-South, with an especially strong following from Memphis, Tennessee. She died on September 16, 1918, and is buried in Gum Grove Cemetery in Newport (Jackson County).
