      Barnebarnet William Raleigh hørte ofte sin far Walter fortelle om den tragiske hendelsen:

      You may be aware of Marie’s tragic death. When Mamie, Walter and Eugene were very young, Marie died of tuberculosis in circumstances not allowing contact with her children because of contagion.
      In his old age my father would fight back tears when he talked of it.

      For a period after her death Fred’s brother Hartwick and his wife joined him and the children on a new farm in Minnesota. But Mamie effectively became the mother while all three were growing up. [5, 6]
