Biography
Mary was born about 1844.

Mary died in 1937 and was buried in Edgemont, Fall River County, South Dakota, United States.[2]
Research Note
Something funny is going on in the 1900 census. Mary and George are on the same page but not in the same household. Mary is in a household with most of her (adult) children. George is living with a younger woman who is marked as his wife and his son John. Did George divorce and remarry or did the census take make a goof?
