Seventh Generation

792. Laura Irene YOCOM^13,53 was born on 21 February 1877. She died on 25 July 1956. She was buried in Charles Evans Cemetery, Reading, PA. Laura and William were living at 534 Walnut Street, Reading. Laura had a daughter Georgette "Bubbles" Hartenstine, born 9 July 1918. She served in the WACS, and later married William Earl Booth. She was living in Riverside, CA as late as 1982. Bubbles had two children: Elizabeth Booth and William Earl Jr. I'm guessing Laura lived with Bubbles in her last years, her cremated remains were returned to Charles Evans for burial, but there is no local obit in the paper.
