Note by Doug Mumma: There appears to be an error in the birth year for Laura in this obituary. The 1900 census states a birth of June, 1865. Her age in the 1910 census suggest a similar year of birth. She was age 15 in the 1880 census. A similar year would be determined from her age of 76 and a death year of 1941. I believe her birth year was 1865.
