She married Frank Carey (Margaret and James Carey's son, niece by marriage to TJ McNevin) 2 27 1919 in St. Leo's Catholic Church in Lewistown Mt. She had meet him in 1917 at the bank where she was working. She had a bad leg from an childhood accident which caused her problems in later years. See stories below. She is the mother of Elizabeth Marion (Fawcett) ( 6 21 1920), Margaret Catherine (Blake) (1922-2003) and Francis Philipp (1925-1985). She died of a Myocardial Infarction. First story: Elizabeth was about thirteen years old when she was seriously injured while playing crack the whip with other ice skaters and spent many years recuperating from the accident, first being treated at a hospital in Great Falls then Rochester, NY for 12 years. Her father hired a companion to stay with Beth to keep her company for a while. Many years later her infections in that leg continued and her son-in-law Jack Blake used to go over to the Carey's house on Lewis Ave in Long Beach, CA and give her shots of antibiotics. While on a visit to Lewistown in 1988 Melinda Blake was told this version of the tragedy by Catherine Simpson: "She (Aunt Rena) was telling me about Beth's skating accident. Evidently she was not the one on the end of the whip, a young boy that was died. Beth hurt her hip. She started complaining of pain and wasn't walking very well. So they took her into the hospital here and they didn't know what was wrong with her. Her parents treated her for a year and a half by taking her to the Carbine Mineral Springs. She never got any better. After a year and a half they took her to Butte, St James Hospital where they found out she had osteomyelitis. They didn't want to bring her back to Lewistown because there weren't any doctors to take care of her. So Beth started sucking on lemons everyday. Every day just whole lemons everyday .The sore was healing but it was always open so the osteomyelitis was not cured but the sore was better. Her dad was the only one to go visit her. Her mother didn't travel well. She felt very intimidated going to foreign cities and didn't speak English that well. The doctor from Butte decided to come to Lewistown to practice. He volunteered to bring Beth here so she could finally come home. She had been gone three years.
