Laura E. ROBINSON^[1]

• Name	Laura E. ROBINSON
  Birth	Jan 1851	Posey Co, Indiana   [1, 2]
  	Laura was born in Indiana, but left there when she was 4 years old.
  Gender	Female
  COMM	Minnesota   [1]
  	AD
  	Her family noted that Laura had a vast knowledge of plants, herbs and medicine, having weathered the hardships of pioneer life. She loved to read. Laura was also remembered as being a good baker of sea bread (definition I found: a saltless hard biscuit, bread, or cracker. PGF/2018. Perhaps she developed this skill due to both her second husband's time as a sailor and to her own pioneer upbringing).

  	Laura was living with her son Louis and his family.
  Death	1921  [1]
  	Laura was about 70 years old at the time of her death.

  Notes	1900 US Census lists Sarah E. Hubbard as mother-in-law to Louis Michelson. But the only information I have found thus far shows Sarah as married to Robinson, her daughter Laura's father. Sarah and xxx are buried together in Preston Lake cemetery. Continue research to locate a Hubbard connection. PGF/Sep 2018.
