I discovered online that Laura was born January 8, 1904 and died on January 5, 2010, just missing becoming 106 years of age. She shares an above-ground mortuary tomb with two family members, Darlene Sarge Finn (1929-1991) and Morris R. Hartkopf (1913-2000). I'm assuming Laura was wife of Morris but I don't know what relationship Darlene was to either of them (perhaps Morris' first wife?).
Some historic events that occurred during Laura's birth year in 1904:
