Carrie Ingalls

She traveled to several places in her young adulthood seeking a more comfortable climate, including Colorado and Wyoming.

[2] 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.

[6] In 1912, she married widower David N. Swanzey, who is best-remembered for his part in the naming of Mount Rushmore.

[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.

[9] Like Grace and Laura, Swanzey suffered from diabetes, and died of complications from the disease at a hospital in Rapid City, South Dakota, on June 2, 1946, at age 75.
