Can you tell me about Carrie ingalls wilder?

Answer 1

Carrie's married name was not Wilder, but Swanzey. She was born Caroline Celestia (Carrie) Ingalls on August 3, 1870, during the year the family was living in the little house on the prairie in southeast Kansas. She was 3 1/2 years younger than Laura. As a child, Carrie was sickly from time to time. She tired easily, and it is possible she was anemic. She was not an invalid, but she took longer to recover from illnesses than the rest of the family.

Beginning in her late teens, Carrie became a typesetter, and worked for many newspapers in the Dakota region. After Ma died in 1924, the eldest sister, Mary, who was blind, alternated between living with Carrie and the youngest sister, Grace. In 1928, while living with Carrie, Mary died of pneumonia and the effects of a stroke. Mary was 63, and is buried in the Ingalls family plot in the DeSmet cemetery.

In 1912, when she was 41, Carrie married a widower whose name was David Swanzey. They lived in Keystone, South Dakota, at the foot of Mt. Rushmore, which Mr. Swanzey helped name. Carrie was stepmother to his two children, Mary, (who had 14 children!) and Harold, who helped carve Mt. Rushmore.

Carrie was pleased about her sister's "Little House" books, and happily contributed her memories and recollections.

Like most of her sisters, Carrie had Diabetes. She died of complications of the disease on June 2, 1946 at age 75, She is buried in the family cemetery plot in DeSmet, SD,
