From the 1981 book by Kenneth Laymon "The Laymon Family"
"Laura Bell Bennett was the only blond, her sisters all being brunets. She married Scott Masoner at Springdale, Washington County, Arkansas and gave birth to two children. Those who remember Bell, say she was the essence of patients (sic). She was a sweet and loving person. And at the time of her death, she left a silver dollar to her daughter. It was minted in the year of her daughter's birth - 1921 - and given to her daughter to keep always."
OBITUARY
After a lingering illness of over three years, Mrs. W.S. Masoner passed away November 11, at the home of her parents Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Bennett on Spring Street. When she first became ill, her husband took her to New Mexico, hoping a change in climate would be beneficial to her health, but she gradually grew worse. A little over a year ago when it was felt she could not recover, Mr. Masoner brought her back to Springdale to the home of her parents in Springdale where everything was done that could be done for her comfort and to prolong her life.
Miss Laura Bell Bennett was born at Rhea, Arkansas, November 13, 1880. Later the family moved to Prairie Grove where she grew to womanhood. In 1898 she came with parents to Springdale where she has since lived, except what time she spent in New Mexico in search of health.
On November 29, 1911 she was married to W. S. Masoner. Of this union were born two children, Clifton, age nine and Frances Marie, age twenty two months. Besides these children she leaves to mourn her going, a husband, father and mother, one brother and five sisters.
While at Prairie Grove she was converted and joined the Southern Methodist Church at that place. Later her membership was transferred to the Springdale church where it remained until the time of her death. Mrs. Masoner was a devout Christian and an active worker in the church, having been for some time a teacher in the Sunday School. As the end drew near, she expressed her willingness to go, her only regret being her unwillingness to leave her family. She was always a patient and cheerful sufferer, and was always appreciative of the many kindnesses shown by her devoted family and friends.
Funeral services were held at the church, conducted by Rev. Womack of (Siloam) Springs, a former pastor, assisted by Rev. M. W. Faulkner, pastor of the local church. The remains were laid to rest in Bluff Cemetery.
