Mama died in childbirth, I think. She died in 1920 and the last baby was born in 1920. The female baby had three sisters and one brother. Daddy didn't remarry until the baby was 20 years old. Is that because the girls didn't want him to get married and it was easier to give in to them or because he never met anyone he wanted to marry until Laura came along 20 years later?
It is interesting how nothing was found to document Laura's marriage to Rupert. I finally tried searching under her supposed married name and there's my proof. I found a marrage record and a naturalization record. Bingo!
It seems a shame that one or all of the step children of Laura couldn't step up and provide her with a headstone. Their mother and father have a headstone. Laura was married to their father for nearly 24 years.
How strange to have a father who is nearly 60 when you are born. The grandfather was born nearly 100 years earlier. Seems strange. I can't imagine having a baby when I'm 60. Grandchildren are fine with me.
