body took charge of the funeral and the remains were placed in their last

Charles Phillip
Ingalls - Biography
In
Cuba, New York, on January 10, 1836, Charles Phillip Ingalls was born to
Landsford and Laura Ingalls. Lansford and Laura are better known as
"Grandpa" and "Grandma" in Little House in the Big Woods as
well as some of the My First Little House Books.
On
February 1, 1860, Charles married Caroline Lake Quiner in Concord, Wisconsin.
They had five children, Mary, Laura, Carrie, Charles Frederick, and Grace. Pa
always wanted to go out west, but Ma insisted that they at least stay somewhere
where the girls could attend school. They travelled a great deal
before finally settling in De Smet, South Dakota where he held many jobs,
including Justice of the Peace.
Pa
died in De Smet on June 8, 1902, leaving his wife and daughters. Pa's memory
lives on through his wonderful stories in the Little House books, and with his
wonderful fiddle music, which often filled the hearts of the Ingalls on hot
summer evenings and cold winter nights.
Many
of Pa's possessions are at the many historic sights, and his beloved fiddle is
on display at the Mansfield Museum.

Mary Amelia Ingalls- Biography
Mary Amelia Ingalls was the first child of
Charles and Caroline Ingalls and was born on January 10, 1865, in Pepin,
Wisconsin. Mary was a character in all of the Little House books and Mary and
Laura were inseparable.
When
Mary was fourteen years old, she became severely ill. Her illness, which is
variously described as scarlet fever (in the books) and meningitis, resulted in a stroke which
caused Mary to go blind. Laura then became Mary's "eyes", describing
everything around them to her sister.
In
1881, the Dakota Territory paid for Mary to attend the Iowa School for the Blind in Vinton, Iowa
(know known as the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School). She graduated in
1889, and returned to De Smet, South Dakota to live with her parents.
Like
most blind women of the time, Mary never
married, and lived with her parents until their deaths. Mary then lived with
Grace and her husband. In Keystone South Dakota, Mary died on October 17, 1928
at the home of her younger sister Carrie.
Some
of Mary's beadwork, as well as her special Braille slate and bible are housed
at the Mansfield Museum while many of her other possessions are housed at De
Smet.

Folk
and literary figure. Born the eldest child of Charles and Caroline Ingalls in
Pepin County, Wisconsin on her father's birthday. At the age of 14 she fell ill
with what was then described as brain fever. Although she recovered, the
illness robbed her of her sight. In 1881, Mary enrolled in the Iowa Braille and
Sight Saving School in Vinton, Iowa. Mary's academic achievements were
considered exceptionally high, in addition to academic subjects she excelled in
music sewing, beadwork, knitting, hammock and fly net tying. Mary graduated in
June 1889, one of eight in her graduating class. After graduation she returned
to De Smet where she lived with her parents. After her father's death, she made
fly nets in order to supplement the family income. She was active in the
church, and taught Sunday school classes. With the death of her mother in 1924,
Mary moved in with her sister, Grace, before settling in with her sister
Carrie, at Keystone, South Dakota. She never married. At the age of 63, she
succumbed to pneumonia, and was interred in the family plot at De Smet. Her
sister, Laura, would later immortalize the family in the popular ‘Little House'
series of books.

We regret to report the death of Miss Mary Ingalls."
On October 17, 1928, an elderly blind woman named Mary Amelia
Ingalls died in a small rural community in South Dakota. Her obituary in the
local newspaper was brief: "Miss Ingalls passed away at the home of her
sister, Mrs. D.N. Swanzey. She suffered another stroke a few days before her
death, after a year of ill health following former strokes. Funeral services
will be held at the Congregational Church Friday at two o'clock." No one,
other than her friends and relatives, was particularly interested in Mary's
life, in her story. Yet just four years later, her name was known to people all
across the country, and she was loved by thousands and thousands of young
girls, some of whom aspired to be just as good and kind and sweet as she was,
though most preferred her mischievous and much livelier younger sister, the one
who always forgot to wear her sunbonnet, was crazy for horses, and got into all
kinds of scrapes.
That
sister was named Laura. Laura Ingalls Wilder, the celebrated children's author.
Laura's fictionalized accounts of her childhood experiences on the western
frontier, hand-written in soft pencil on lined yellow paper, eventually filled
seven books. The story they tell is as much Mary's as Laura's, though the first
book in the Little House series was published four years after Mary's death

Laura Elizabeth
Ingalls Wilder - Biography
Laura
Elizabeth Ingalls was the second child of Charles and Caroline Ingalls and was
born on February 7, 1867, in Pepin, Wisconsin. She travelled with her family,
and then later with her husband, and like her father, she loved to travel and
always wanted to go West.
In
De Smet, South Dakota she met and married Almanzo James Wilder. When Laura was
teaching school twelve miles away when she was
only sixteen, Almanzo came and took her back and forth each weekend behind the
Morgan horses Laura loved so much - Prince and Lady.
After
courting for two and one half years, they were married on August 25, 1885, with
the bride wearing black. They spent four years trying farming which is
documented in The First Four Years, which ended with a fire which destroyed the
home Almanzo "Manly" had worked so hard to build.
In
De Smet, on December 5, 1886 Rose was born. In August 1889,
Laura had a baby boy who died shortly after.
The
Wilder's then spent several years living with various family members while
Almanzo gained his strength back from his bout of diptheria, which resulted in
his partial paralysis. In 1890, Laura, Almanzo and Rose lived with Almanzo's
parents in Spring Valley, Minnesota.
Between
1891 and 1892, the three then moved to Westville, Florida in hoped the warmer
climate would help Almanzo's legs. Laura hated living there so much, they
returned to De Smet. In July, 1894 the three then left for Laura and Almanzo's
final home, Mansfield, Missouri where they bought Rocky Ridge Farm with the
hidden $100 bill. Laura's diary of the trip is published in On the Way Home.
After
publishing many articles locally, Laura began to work on her memoirs, in a
manuscript entitled Pioneer Girl. The concept of this book, which was
essentially the whole series in one, lead to the start of the Little House series
which was published by Harper and Brothers (now known as HarperCollins)
children's department.
Laura
died on February 10, 1957 at her Rocky Ridge home, the last surviving member of
her pioneering Ingalls family.
Many
museums and historic sites have been set up in the hometowns where Laura spent
her life, and many of her items are located at each site.

Pioneer,
Author. Born Laura Elizabeth Ingalls in Pepin, Wisconsin, the second daughter
of Charles and Caroline Quiner Ingalls. The Ingalls family traveled by covered
wagon to short residences in Iowa, Minnesota, and Kansas, before settling in
DeSmet, South Dakota, one of two families who founded the town. To help her
sister, Mary , receive an education at a college for the blind, Laura obtained
her teaching certificate at age 15. In 1885, Laura married Almanzo James Wilder
in DeSmet, and their daughter, Rose, was born the following year. In 1894, the
young family relocated to Mansfield in the Missouri Ozark Mountains, where
Laura and Almanzo built the prosperous Rocky Ridge Farm. During World War I,
Laura became a columnist for The Missouri Ruralist , with the popular and
thoughtful weekly, "As A Farm Wife Thinks". In 1932, she began
writing the "Little House" books, an 8-part series, hand-written over
11 years, and delightfully illustrated by Garth Williams, based on her pioneer
childhood and youth. In her books, Laura stressed the importance of family,
faith, simple values, and self-sufficiency. The books have remained enduringly
popular, continuing to be published and read worldwide today. After 63 years of marriage, Almanzo
died in 1949, Laura continued to live at Rocky Ridge Farm until her passing in
1957, at the age of 90. In 1954, Garth Williams designed the bronze Laura
Ingalls Wilder Medal for presentation to Laura as the first recipient. The
medal, administered by the Association for Library Service to Children, is an
annual award presented to "an author or illustrator whose books, written
in the United States, have made, over the years, a substantial and lasting
contribution to literature for children." There are museums across the
United States at the sites where the Ingalls and Wilder families lived,
including the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home and Museum at Rocky Ridge Farm, where
the home that Laura and Almanzo built by hand has been preserved just as when
the Wilders' were in residence. Laura and Almanzo's daughter, Rose Wilder Lane,
became a noted novelist and political writer.

Carrie Ingalls
Swanzey - Biography
Caroline
Celestia Ingalls, or better known as Carrie, was the third child of Charles and
Caroline Ingalls and was born on August 3, 1870, in Montgomery County, Kansas.
Carrie was actually born during the events which occurred in Little House on
the Prairie. Because Little House in the Big Woods had Baby Carrie, and Little
House on the Prairie happened after, Laura could not write around this fact. So
Carrie travels with the family to Kansas, even though technically she would not
have been born yet.
It
is not until the books are based in De Smet, South Dakota, that interaction
between Carrie and Laura occurs, without the representation of Carrie being as
"Baby Carrie" as she is in the earlier books. After finishing school,
Carrie worked for the newspaper in De Smet, then later onto larger newspapers.
Carrie
met David Swanzey in the Black Hills. David was a widower with two young
children, Mary and Harold, and they marries on August 1, 1912 in Rapid City,
South Dakota. Carrie raised David's children, and on June 2, 1946, Carrie died
in Rapid City, South Dakota, leaving her older sister Laura as the last
surviving member of the Ingalls family.
Some
of Carrie's possessions are on display at various Laura Ingalls Wilder historical
sites and museums.

Infant brother of Laura Ingalls
Wilder, called Freddie by the family. Laura did not include Freddie in her
"Little House" novels because, her biographers assume, the memories
were too painful. He lived in the period between "On the Banks of Plum
Creek" and "By the Shores of Silver Lake." Laura rarely spoke of
him, although later in her life she did say he had never been a healthy baby,
and suffered convulsions before he died. Late in her life, Caroline Ingalls
said, "Everything would have been different if Freddie had lived."
However, Freddie's brief life and
death were dramatized on the "Little House" TV series (the episode,
titled "The Lord is my Shepherd," aired on December 18, 1974, with
guest star Ernest Borgnine). Freddie was buried on the farm of Peter Ingalls
(Pa's brother), where the family was living at the time. The farm no longer
exists and his exact grave location is unknown today

Folk and literary figure. Born
in Burr Oak, Iowa, the fifth and youngest child of Caroline and Charles
Ingalls. After graduating Redfield College, she worked as a schoolteacher in
Manchester, South Dakota. In 1901, she married Nathan William Dow. The couple
had no children. After the death of their parents, her sister Mary briefly made
a home with Grace before settling in with their sister Carrie. Although her
family was immortalized in her sister Laura's ‘Little House' series of books,
Grace remains little known. She was just eight years old when Laura left home
to marry, and so she played a minor role only in the last books of the series.
