Biography

Laura Frances Breed was born 24 Dec 1867 at Lynn, Massachusetts. She was the sixth child of Joseph Breed and Frances Burrill. Laura was counted among her birth family during childhood in Lynn ^[1],^[2].

She married 1 Jul 1893 at Lynn, Charles Edward Walker ^[3] (21 Aug 1852 - 19 May 1931 ^[4], son of Ebenezer Walker & Addie (Paull). They had one child, born in Saugus, Massachusetts:

• Laurence Breed Walker (7 Jun 1895 - 15 Aug 1969); Rev.

This family was counted in the 1900 census of Lynn ^[5]. By 1930, Laura and Charles Walker had relocated to Saugus, where Laura remained in 1940 (widowed) ^[6],^[7].

Laura Frances (Breed) Walker died in June 1940. Her grave is in Pine Grove Cemetery, Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts, USA ^[8].

Notes

Laura's father-in-law, Ebenezer Walker (1820 - 1852 ^[9]), died in California in the year that Charles was born.

The FSearch app purports that Charles E. Walker was first married to Eloise B. Hallett (16 April 1857 – 27 July 1922), daughter of James Harvey Hallett and Emily (Goodspeed), however this purportion seems to be based on circumstantial evidence for births of 3 children during the 1870s, not on any specific marriage documentation. Since Eloise lived into the 1920s, it may be useful to search for more substantial evidence that "her" Charles E. Walker was the same individual who became the husband of Laura Frances Breed.
