Laura Guinn married T. H. (Thomas Henry "Tom") Franklin in June 1896 in Harris County, Texas. Their children - gleaned from census and other records - included John, Joseph, Estelle/Stella, Bertha (AKA Laura Bertie), Robert, Ruby, Cleo, Chester, Tommie (a daughter), and Vera. (I think Tom may be the T. H. Franklin buried at Forest Park Cemetery in Houston, Texas, but more research is needed.)
On the 1930 U.S. Census, of Dallas, Texas, Laura was enumerated as Laura McCain, wife of Sherman McCain. Also in the home were Sherman's stepdaughters, Tommie and Vera Franklin.
Laura, her daughter Tommie, son-in-law, and an infant grandson, were murdered by Dallas Barksdale (memorial #146829682) in April 1933 - just three years after she was enumerated as Sherman McCain's wife. Although Laura was described as Barksdale's estranged or former wife in news reports, I have found no evidence of them being officially married.
