Notes for Laura Belle Lawson
Her death certificate records Laura Belle Fraley, age 59, born 16 June 1898 in Round Co., Ky, died 17 Jan 1958 at Hinton Hospital, Hinton, Summers Co., West Virginia, father Robert Lawson, mother’s maiden name Martha Branham, cause of death coronary thrombosis, informant Otto Fraley, Beckley, WVa, burial in Sunset Memorial Lawn, Beckley, WVa.
The year of birth is off by one; she was recorded in the 1900 census as age 3 crossed out and replaced with 2, born June 1897. (If she were born in 1898, she would have been 15 days shy of age 2 on the official census date of June 1.)
