By 1910 Laura is a widow living in Drayton Mills, Spartanburg, SC with an additional child, Emory A. (b. circa 1902 in TN). Most of the children, with the exception of Carrie, are still living with her. Betty is married to an unknown Lindsey and has one son, Larkin R. (b. circa 1907 in TN). Laura and all the children, except Betty and Emory, are working in the cotton mill.
I have linked son, James, to her. I've just begun looking for their other children.
