First she gets kicked by a horse
She goes blind
She has a miscarriage
She is in that accident with Adam and that pregant woman. And will most likely be burned alive if her father had not come.
She is close to being raped. I mean assume that was the plan of of the man when she was in the closet in the episode were she and Laura was held captive at the blind school. If her father had not come she would probably have been raped.
She has a child and the child dies in a fire
Well maybe tragic is not the right word to use. But she seems to have the most things go against her.

was engaged to john [mr Edwards adopted son] and he dropped her when he went to a big school for something or other.
ran for class president but dropped out when elmer was better at being president.
skinny dips with laura and ellen and ellen dies. Ellen's ma goes wonky and thinks laura is ellen and sure, mary is all
basically starts the rumor that ma and worker chris are bumping uglies.
teaches in a back country town where the 'mayor' is this staunchy bitch who calls her a jezebel because an asshole kid in the class is being a douchebag. and the mayor is an illiterate cow who has a warped sense of the bible's teachings.
was not given a heads up that her eyesight was fastly dying. thanks pa.
right before her eye woes she was engaged to this dude named seth and when she does go blind basically drops him.
happily made her birthday party about pa when he had to sell his fiddle to pay for something and ma bought it back instead of a hat for mary. so she basically had no birthday present.
unsure of her parenting skills being blind, she has second thoughts about marrying another blind dude.
erroneously thinks her eyesight is returning when her eyes are just feeling the heat of the light and not the brightness of the light itself.
falls asleep in the barn studying for a test -- sets the barn afire. ma puts it out [pa is out galivanting/whoring] and scolds her for lighting lanterns in the barn and bans her from taking the test.
baby was killed by a fire when she was with him and didn't take him with her as she left the room. {I will never understand this}.
makes the exact same green tartan shirt for pa as ma does. ma is beyond embarrassed. now he as two! get over yourself!
falls for laura and her 'get rich quick' scheme with selling shit tonics to buy reverend alden a bigger and better birthday present.

"Well, she has suffered and is a victim and is used to it. What else can we do to her in the next episode?" "Have her get run over by a wagon and she barely survives." "Any other ideas?" "Struck by lightning. Twice." "Gets shot by a stray hunting bullet." "Gets a couple of fingers chopped off when attempting to chop wood." "Falls into a well and almost drowns." "A bear. Let's do something with a bear." "Her husband cheats on her with another blind girl." "Great ideas people. Let's work on these for the next few episodes and keep them coming! We got a gold mine when the ratings drop with this poor girl." |

The real Mary Ingalls did go blind after a serious illness but she never married or had children. In the books she was portrayed as a long suffering, never complaining angel while her sister Laura acted as her "eyes". Reading the books as a child, I always found Mary a bit too self righteous and too good to be true. I much preferred down-to-earth Laura. I didn't have much use for the tv series. |

LAura had a pretty tough time in real life, she and Almanzo had a baby boy who died, and Almanzo had a stroke at quite a young age, and they had problems with the farm I think. |

My guess is that all of them had a way harder life in real life than what they did on the tv show. I am far from an expert on that period on US history or US history at all. But i would assume that life on the prairie in the 1870s and 1880s was a lot harder than what they show on the show. |

Albert had a pretty screwed up life too.
He was abandoned by his father
A girl that he thought he loved was raped and then fell down a ladder and died
He learned that the rapist was a close friend of his
He began to feel alienated from his sister after she got married and became a teacher
He moved to a city where he didn't know anyone, became depressed, and ended up getting hooked on morphine
And finally, he learned that he had a life threatening disease and would die young
