Marie attended the North Star School until the eighth grade when she was needed at home to care for her younger brothers and sisters.
She also helped her Father during harvest. She would punch the header on the combine and sometimes harrow after seeding. One year her Father gave her a special camera for her help. Some years she would work in the cook house.
She told about one of the combines that had a leveling device that did not always hold. It would let the machine tip over or partially tip over.
Marie was a very private person and a perfectionist. She loved to read. When she was young, she would sneak books into the hayloft when she had to move hay to the back of the barn. She quoted poetry often. She was known to have very bad migraine headaches.
She loved to have a garden. It was also her job to milk six to eight cows so there would be cream to sell. She also sold eggs, dressed chickens, and garden produce.
She loved to care for baby and sick animals, often curing them when no one else could. She was not fond of cooking but made delicious meals on little.
In the winter of 1927, Will was on jury duty in Lincoln County. One evening a gang of bootleggers came and stayed awhile. They left but one stayed behind and Marie kept a fire going all night so he would be warm while he slept in the chair. The others came back for him in the morning. She did not know who they were.
Another time, probably in the 1970's, a neighbor lost calves in the winter and said they had strayed down the canyon but could not find any of them. So he came with the sheriff to inspectall of the buildings. Will was feeding and they could not find any live or butchered animals. Marie escorted them around the property. The next spring the calves were found in the corner of the neighbor's field dead. They had chewed through the fence posts.
In 1980, Marie was bitten by a rattlesnake by the wood pile. She called the ambulance and received treatment at the hospital. She took almost a year to recover.
She was a member of the Grange. Later in life, she lost most of her eyesight.
