Mary's mother wrote: "After she got well my father took her to Columbia, Tuolomne county, where my sister, Mrs. Cummings, lived, and she spent the remainder of her days there in attending school. She died September first, 1863, of typhoid fever, aged 15 years and nine months. Though naturally bright, cheerful and self-reliant she bore her afflictions with patience and even with gayety, amusing and tending the younger children when suffering herself." -- Juliet Foster Olmsted, "Foster Family California Pioneers 1849," page 256
