Laura May Slater was a successful business woman who never married and owned a Millinery Shop in Muscatine Iowa.
According to the 1913 Muscatine city directory, Laura M. Slater was a milliner and owned a shop at 104 East 2nd Street. She was listed as rooming at the Grand Hotel.
She was my mother's great aunt, who was sister to her great grandmother Alice. I was named Laura after her. My mom says that Aunt Laura told her she never got married because she said she didn't want to "wash men's dirty socks". Obviously she had a sense of humor.
She moved from Muscatine to Aurora, Illinois where her mother and sister were living. It is well known that Laura was very supportive of her family and treated her sister's children like they were her own. She had a nice house that my mother loved to go visit and had stairs with a very nice banister my mother said.
Laura Slater was an amazing woman especially for her time. That is probably the reason my mother admired her so much that she named me after her. Rest in Peace Aunt Laura! You will never be forgotten.
