Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the name of Almanzo's flamboyant younger brother, who made one appearance on the show and almost crippled Almanzo's horse?

Answer: Pearly-Day

This was the only episode that we hear about Pearly-Day. We meet Royal in one of the episodes shortly after Laura and Almanzo are married, and then yet another Royal in the beginning of the "Little House: A New Beginning" series. Even when Almanzo is remembering back to a long ago Christmas we only hear him mention one brother, Royal.
2. Who rescued Nancy from the well she accidentally fell into, while trying to run away from Willie?

Answer: Lou

Little Lou was a small person with a big heart. He wanted to help the Olesons get their daughter back immediately, even though Mrs. Oleson was nasty to him and prevented him from acquiring a job at the bank.
3. Who did Willie marry?

Answer: Rachel

Rachel Brown was a young lady that Mrs. Oleson thought unsuitable for Willie. She said Rachel was making Willie give up college, but Willie only wanted to stay in Walnut Grove and run the restaurant. Willie certainly didn't strike me as the college type.
4. Who was the man that Charles wanted to "carve a proper grave marker" for?

Answer: Jack Prescott

In this episode, Caroline told Charles "if it's a legacy you're after, you can't do better than our children."
5. What was the name of the lady who faked her own death to get her children to come and see her while she was still alive?

Answer: Amy Hearn

Miss Amy had three children, one of whom she didn't even know if he was still alive. She was very angry at him for not keeping in touch.
6. What was the last name of the man Caroline hired to help around the farm while Charles was working away in "The Legacy"?

Answer: Cooper

After just a few days of having Mr. Cooper at the farm, Ma gave Albert her permission to fire him if his work wasn't what Albert thought it should be. Albert fired him the next day, and he and James did all the work that needed to be done at the farm until Charles returned.
7. What was the name of the girl that fell in love with Doc Baker in "Doctor's Lady"?

Answer: Kate

Doc Baker made Kate a ring from the chain of a pocket watch.
8. Who was accused of burning the Garvey's barn in "Barn Burner"?

Answer: Jed Larabee

Mr. Larabee ended up not being charged with the crime, because Andy said that it was possible that the lantern he brought outside may have blown over and caused the fire.
9. Who did Laura lose her aggie to when she couldn't prove that the moon had an effect on how well fish bite?

Answer: Willie

Her Pa wasn't at the mill, so she couldn't ask him, and Willie made her give him the aggie. She later tells her family that it was okay because she would just end up winning it back from him.
10. What was the name of the man who almost bought the Ingalls' farm in "Going Home"?

Answer: Matthew Simms

Mr. Simms felt that Charles was making a mistake by selling the farm so he very subtly backed out of the deal. He told Charles that he thought he was too old to run the farm by himself.
11. What was the name of the two children who lost their parents in a wagon accident and were later adopted by the Ingalls?

Answer: James and Cassandra

Their Uncle Jed was unable to take the children in right after the accident, but after striking gold and becoming rich, he returned to claim the children. Things didn't work out the way he expected, and the children stayed with the Ingalls.
12. When Mary caused a fire in the barn and burned a book borrowed from Miss Beadle, how much did Mr. Oleson pay her to work at the mercantile?

Answer: 50 cents per week

Mary worked a total of three weeks, giving her $1.50. She used one dollar of it to buy the history book for Miss Beadle and gave the rest to her parents for repairs on the barn.
13. Who did Charles rent the last room to at the motel in Winoka?

Answer: The Garveys

The Garveys arrived first and took the last room before the Olesons arrived. The Carters didn't appear on the show until much later and the Edwards didn't go to Winoka.
14. Who did Charles do some wood working for in exchange for some dishes for Caroline?

Answer: Widow Thurman

Charles admits that he had to tell a few white lies to pull this surprise off, but Caroline was very understanding.
15. What did Alicia name the puppy that she got from the Ingalls, after Mary and Laura saved a litter of pups from being drowned?

Answer: Mine

Her brothers made her ask their Ma because they figured she wouldn't say no to Alicia. Their Ma agreed to let them have the pup and Alicia named the pup Mine.
16. Who was in the outhouse at the Ingalls' farm, when it fell over after they returned from Winoka?

Answer: Carrie

Charles and Albert thought it was quite funny after they found out that she was not hurt.
17. Who did Mr. Edwards describe as "five foot ten, one hundred and fifty pounds of rip roarin' dynamite"?

Answer: Lem McCary

Doctor Baker was announcing the election candidates and Mr. Edwards yells this out from the crowd.
18. What was the name of the man who held Laura, Jenny, and Rose hostage?

Answer: Thomas Stark

He held them hostage after having shot his wife and daughter. He was killed by the search party, when he stepped outside the house. His wife and daughter survived. Robert Loggia played Thomas Stark in the season nine episode "Rage".
19. Who was the man that Eliza-Jane told Almanzo she was marrying, in order for her to leave town so Laura and Almanzo could have the house?

Answer: Harve Miller

Eliza-Jane was very pleased with the fact that someone was finally calling her by her given name. She said that the children and their parents called her Miss Wilder, and the only one who didn't call her Miss Wilder was Almanzo and he called her "sis".
20. Who was Doc Baker talking to when he said "we don't want any dead heroes"?

Answer: Willie

During a very bad heat spell, Laura endangered her life as well as that of her unborn baby, and Willie ran all the way from the Wilders' farm to Doc Baker's, almost causing himself to have a heat stroke.
21. What name was given to the restaurant, when Major Guffy came to town and converted it to fast food?

Answer: Mrs. Sullivan's

Charles and Nels opened a restaurant in the Olesons' house so that it would give Mrs. Sullivan's Kitchen some competition. When Major Guffy returned and found less than spectacular sales in his restaurant, he tore up the contract and the restaurant returned to its original ways.
22. What was the name of the blind school as we see it written on the plaque donated by Mrs. Oleson?

Answer: The Harriet Oleson Institute for the Advancement of Blind Children

They certainly needed a large plaque to display a name as long as that one.
23. What did Laura name the raccoon that she kept as a pet?

Answer: Jasper

Mary found the baby raccoon and brought it home to Laura, because she felt responsible for breaking her doll's head.
24. What were the names of the Fenton brothers who sold the diseased mutton to residents of Walnut Grove?

Answer: Garth and Virgil

The Fenton brothers knew that the sheep had anthrax, but sold it anyway so that they would have some money for the winter.
25. Who figured out what caused the outbreak of typhus?

Answer: Charles

Mostly everyone in town was buying the infected corn meal, because it was only about half the cost of Mr. Hansen's flour. Charles didn't buy any because he had his own flour that he had milled.
