Laura married Judge Edward Woodruff (1838-1914) on August 8, 1865, in Louisville, MS. In 1870, they were living in Winston County, MS, and they remained there through the 1880 census.

The family moved to Brazoria County, Texas, from Mississippi in 1895.

A photo volunteer reported in summer 2017 that Phair cemetery is so overgrown that Laura's grave cannot be found. Can someone please look for her in the winter?
