And today, 12/12 is Ma Ingalls birthday!
Today is Ma Ingalls’ birthday! 177 years ago on this day, Caroline Lake Quiner (later to become Caroline “Ma” Ingalls) was born in the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin, the fifth of seven Quiner children. Some said that baby Caroline was the first non-native American baby to be born in the area.
In this picture, Caroline is seated next to her husband, Charles Ingalls.
Happy Birthday, Ma!
