Notes for Laura Hall
I cannot find a death record for her in Kentucky; she may have died in West Virginia.
The family group sheet that I got for Frank Hall and Mollie Cox from Jackie Pottle said that Laura died 21 Jan 1919, place unspecified, but she was listed as an heir on her father’s will, dated in 1930.

Rowan Co. marriage book A, p. 118 records marriage of Witcher Bailey and Laura Hall on 18 Jan 1913.
