Mary was born in 1850 in Canada (as were her parents). (1880 census)
Name
At her burial site, her name is recorded as "Mary Louise", but in the 1880 census she goes by her middle name "Louise". In 1900, she is recorded in the census as "Mary L."
Marriage
After the death of his first wife Mary Ann in July 1869, Charles Manaige married Mary Louise Benjamin. Given that their first child was born in July 1870, they must have married the same year (1869) in which his first wife had died.
Children
1880 Minnesota State census shows the children of Charles and Mary Louise Menaige:
1898 — Mary Louise and her daughters Gertie and Sophia, were living together at her son Lewis' place at 275 West 7th St., St. Paul, Minnesota. (1898 Directory)
She passed away on Christmas Day 1921 (aged 71) in Saint Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. She was buried at Calvary Cemetery, Saint Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. (Find a Grave)
