She was the second of eleven children. (Actually of 10 children since her nephew Earl was raised by her father as if he were one of his own children. ej)
Mary must have gone to live with her parents after the death of her first husband, Thomas Riley. Her parents were living in O’Brien County in the 1885 Iowa State Census. That would explain why Mary was teaching in the public schools in Primghar and why she was married in Sanborn which is a town in O’Brien County.
