BiographyLaura moved to Limon, CO, when 15 years old. As a girl, the family camped at the Breaks (north of Limon). The family would drive the wagon team 20 miles to the rocky outcropping. In order to go to school, Laura boarded in Limon. She later worked at the Grier House (a RR eating house). She was sent to Rock Island, IL, for training. She ran the dairy while Rodney worked on the RR. She delivered the milk to town. In 1930's they lost the family homestead because they did not have $35 to pay taxes. She then worked as a cook for many years at the Cozy Cafe in Limon. They had 8 children.1
