• Notes

  First name spelled "Laura" as in Lakeview Cemetery records and some census records. Some transcripts of Vermont death records spell her name "Lura May Stafford". Some transcripts of Vermont death records suggest she was born October 9, 1876; others suggest she was born in 1878. The death notice published in the Burlington Free Press (Burlington, Vermont) on March 5, 1931 identifies her as "Lura" and states : "The City Charity Department and nearby friends helped to support Mrs. Stafford. She was born in Shoreham and came here to live with her husband from Massachusetts several years ago. She leaves no children but the surviving relatives include three sisters, two of whom live in Pittsford, and the third, Mrs. Mina Shackett, in Middlebury; also one brother and two half brothers." The Burlington Town Clerk recorded the marriage of Daniel E. Stafford and Lura Austin, on May 10, 1906 in Burlington. Some transcripts of that record identify her parents as Fracis [sic] Austin and Betsey Merritt.
