Mary and some of her troop relocate to Kalispell, Montana.

Bill comes along as does Ellen and her family. Ellen adds two children while in Montana, so she serves as kind of the bridge parent – she had one child in Muskegon, four in Bayfield, and two in Kalispell.

Mary lives in Kalispell, in housing alongside Bill’s house, for over a decade. She passes away in 1917. The official cause was peritonitis, although I think it would have just as valid if “she plumb wore out” was the cause.

Apparently Mary had given up her Pontypool street-fightin’ ways. It appears she was beloved in Kalispell.

 

Mary lived to be 80, same age as her mother before her.
