Notes - Augusta is the only name not consistant with information given by Father and Uncle Harold and the census records. Therefore I believe that she is the one who was actually called Emma and married to Mr. Carson.
Found in King's County Record August 19 1904:
Mrs. Carson and the children have returned to Boston on Friday after attending the funeral of her father Mr. Wm. Lister.
The name is confirmed by her great granddaughter Gina Gaddis.

Massachusetts Vital Records, 1841-1910, Marriage - 1896 Boston MA vol 462 page 184 line 3300. William E Carson, 24, a teamster of Boston, and Emma A Lister, 21, a housekeeper of Boston, were married in Boston on Wednesday, 22 July 1896 by the Rev Samuel E Howe, Minister of the Gospel, Boston. This was his second and her first marriage. William was born in Salt Springs, New Brunswick, Canada to William and Susan Carson. Emma was born in Norridgewock, New Brunswick to William B and Edna L Lister.
Compiler's note: Of the many official Massachusetts vital records regarding this couple the spelling of her maiden name was always Lister.
- Augusta is the only name not consistant with information given by Father and Uncle Harold and the census records. Therefore I believe that she is the one who was actually called Emma and married to Mr. Carson.
