Marriage to this man, Kalman, was an unpleasant circumstance. When Elizabeth, their only child, was small and crawling around, her mother gave her a spoon to chew on as she was teething. Mary couldn't find the spoon and her husband beat her for that. He hit her so hard on her head that she had a big open wound on her head. She left him and said she wouldn't take a beating from any man no matter how many times she had to marry.
