Mary Ann's parents were Jacob and Hettie Black. In 1860, Jacob was 33, Hettie 31, and the family lived in Pike Township, Muscatine County, Iowa. Allie (8), Susan H (6), John (3), Ellie (2) and Mary A (4 months)
In 1878, Mary Ann was 18 when she married Olof Remington, a Swedish farmer. Olof was a naturalized US citizen, born about 1848.
By 1885, Mary Ann's father, Jacob Black, was gone. Mary Ann and Olof were farming in Grant Township, Washington County, Nebraska. The household was large. There were three children (Rosa (6), Frank W (2) and baby Elmer(Earl?--census records differed in spelling), and Olof's parents, Nelsen (78) and Mary (75) Remington, and Mary Ann's mother, Hettie Black (56) living in the household.
In 1900, Mary Ann & Olof had moved to a different farm in Arizona township, Burt County, Nebraska. Mary Ann was listed as "Marg", Olof was listed as "O M" and besides Mary Ann's mother Hattie, there were the children: Mary A Remington (19), Frank W (17, a farm laborer), and Carl E (15, at school) Minnie E (13, at school), and Elmer J (11, at school). Mary Ann told the Census taker that she had 6 children, of which 5 were living.
It was somewhat unusual in farming communities for children to go to school past 8th grade, and Mary Ann herself only went as far as 5th grade. Schooling was important to Olof and Mary Ann, so their children were in school. Minnie E later became a public school teacher. Elmer J later became a physician.
Hettie died in 1915, but the Census for 1910 shows only Olaf (62), Mary Ann (50), and 2 children, Minnie E (23; a school teacher in a public school) and Elmer J (21; working on the home farm). Perhaps Hattie was living with another child. In 1910 Olaf was a livestock farmer, and their home was in or near Tekamah, Nebraska.
