Charles & Caroline Ingalls anniversary

Certainly a match made in heaven!  They were married on February 1, 1860 in Concord (Jefferson county), Wisconsin.  Their marriage was life-long, till Charles died in 1902 - 42 years later.  They had five children: 4 girls and one boy (little Charles Frederick (Freddie), who survived just over 9 months). 
They were, of course, the parents of Laura Ingalls; who became a famous author.  It was in her "Little House" books where we became acquainted with "Ma and Pa". 

"At evening still my fancy sees

The flash of snowy wings,

And in my heart

The Meadow Lark,

Still gaily, sweetly sings."

Laura Ingalls Wilder
