==Life==
Mary Murtfeldt was one of four daughters of Charles W. Murtfeldt,〔(Kirkwood Walking Tour 1 )〕 a German-born agricultural writer.〔''Annual report of the State Horticultural Society of Missouri'', 47 (1904). Online at (archive.org )〕 Though born in New York City, she grew up in Rockford, Illinois and lived most of her life with her father and sister in Kirkwood, Missouri.〔 Crippled by polio in her youth,〔Margaret W. Rossiter, ''Women scientists in America: struggles and strategies to 1940'', JHU Press, 1984, p. 347〕 she needed crutches throughout her life. She studied at Rockford College from 1858 to 1860. In 1868 her father became editor of ''Colman's Rural World'', and Mary developed an interest in entomology. Encouraged by Missouri state entomologist Charles Valentine Riley, she took a job as a local assistant in the Bureau of Entomology of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.〔
Murtfeldt worked at the interface between entomology and botany. She worked out the pollination of the Yucca plant, and formed an important collection of plant species from the St Louis, Missouri area.〔''Popular Science Monthly'', vol. 74, p. 252〕
