Carrie Ingalls Swanzey was described as small, thin and frail,[1] and, according to Laura's books, suffered the most of all the Ingalls family members through the deprivations of the hard winter of 1880–1881. Ingalls was not constantly ill, but she never enjoyed robust physical health during her life. She traveled to several places in her young adulthood seeking a more comfortable climate, including Colorado and Wyoming.[2]
Surveyors' House, first home in Dakota Territory of the Charles Ingalls familyDe Smet School, first school in De Smet and attended by Carrie Ingalls and her older sister, Laura
During her late-teen years Ingalls was a typesetter for the De Smet News and, subsequently, other newspapers throughout the state for Edward Louis Senn.[3][4][5][6][7] She settled in Keystone in 1911.[6]
In 1912, she married widower David N. Swanzey, who is best-remembered for his part in the naming of Mount Rushmore.[4][5][6] She became stepmother to Swanzey's two children: Mary and Harold.[4][6] Harold was one of the workers who helped carve Mount Rushmore, and his name can be found on the granite walls below the monument.[8] He was later killed in a car accident in Keystone, South Dakota on April 9, 1938.[8] David also died in 1938.[6]
With her sister Grace's help, Swanzey took care of their blind sister Mary after their mother's death in 1924.[9]
