Read More	At the age of five, Mary moved with her family to Henry county, Iowa, where her parents settled on a piece of prairie land and soon had a pleasant home. Here she grew to womanhood, surrounded with the comforts of life, in good society, with good school and church privileges and received an education qualifying her to teach in the public schools of the county. But she preferred dress making to teaching and went and learned that trade. Her mother died when she was two years old, after which the work and care of the house was done by the girls. The older ones being married or teaching, she took charge of the house in 1880. Her father married in 1888 and went to live on his wife's farm, leaving his farm in charge of her and her brother, George, which they worked until her brother married in 1894. She still made her home there, but worked for her married sisters, helping them in making clothing and other things needful. Always cheerful and independent, the things of this life did not bother her, the most of her work and earnings being donated to those in need or given in presents to her nieces and nephews or where it would add to the happiness of others. Her sister-in-law died in November, 1900, leaving her brother, Leroy, with his son Howard Alexander, five years of age, to be cared for. She went home with him to Duluth, Minnesota, to keep house for him and help care for the boy and is with him still at Forest Lake, Minn. In early life she united with the Methodist church and is a devoted Christian woman. There is no church of her early choice at Forest Lake and she has formed a church home with the Presbyterian people, helping them all she can. The minister is boarding with her and all are doing what they can to make the church a power for good in that beautiful little town on the bank of Forest Lake twenty-five miles north of St. Paul.
