If you're referring to the Mary Ingalls character from the Little House on the Prairie series, she did get married. To Adam, the blind man, remember? Adam Kendall was blind, but he regained his sight from an operation because he got blind from an injury rather than weakened nerves like with Mary. They ran a school for the blind as well. However, the actual Mary Ingalls never married or ran a school for the blind because blind women didn't marry back in those days, and the actual Mary probably didn't really have a desire to teach at a school for the blind. In real life, Mary lived with her parents until they passed away, and then lived with Grace and then with Carrie even later afterwards.
