spouse = David N. Swanzey (1912-1938) (his death)Caroline Celestia "Carrie" Ingalls Swanzey (August 3, 1870–June 2, 1946) was the third child of Charles and Caroline Ingalls, and was born in Montgomery County, Kansas. She was a younger sister of Laura Ingalls Wilder known for her "Little House" books.
As a child, Carrie (according to Laura) had been thin and frail, and of all the Ingalls, Carrie seems to have suffered the most through the deprivations of the long winter. Laura remarks in a later book that Carrie "was not recovering from the hard winter as she should" (Little Town on the Prairie, chapter 12). Carrie was not constantly ill, but she never did enjoy physically robust health during her life, and traveled to several places in her young adulthood seeking a more comfortable climate, but she always returned to South Dakota. During her late teen years Carrie was a typesetter for the "De Smet News", and later other newspapers throughout the state.

By Janet and Geoff Benge] On August 1, 1912 she married widower David N. Swanzey, who is best remembered for his part in the naming of Mount Rushmore. She was very enthusiastic about Laura's books and helped her by sharing her childhood memories. She died of diabetes complications in Keystone, South Dakota on June 2, 1946, at the age of 76. She was buried in the De Smet Cemetery. Carrie had outlived the youngest Ingalls child, Grace, by nearly five years and her death made Laura the last surviving member of the Ingalls family. Her husband David died in Keystone on April 9, 1938.
