Barbara You may have already done this, but checking the death certificates for Eddie, Sallie, and Annie may give the mother's name. I think one question would be "how do you know her name was Carter?" Is this a family story? While it's pretty common to know a wife's first name, but not last, or not knowing either, it's pretty unusual to know the family name, and not the given name. Is it possible that "Johnie" was the mother (see 1900 census) and she actually ran away, or was kicked out, rather than dying? He still could have been referred to as "widowed." That was pretty common. In 1900, were there other Carter girls who could be the mother? Could she have been married to a Carter, and the marriage to Carroll was a second marriage? Hope these ideas are helpful.
