'Mother Laura was a quiet, loving person with a shy smile. She only completed the 7th grade at Grant School in North Topeka, but she could outspell, out figure and outread any of her kids. She kept a warm cozy home and her washing was her pride, we always went to school starched stiff.

When Joseph died there were still three children in school. She was 48 years old, but she did not throw up her hands and ask for welfare. She did nursing to keep the family together. Mother worked until she was 70 and lived alone until she died at the age of 86.

Laura Hartzell was a patriotic and active citizen; she beloned to the Daughters of the Union Veterans, the Aldrich Relief Corps, the North Topeka Baptist Church which she joined when she was 15 years old.
