Biography

Laura Cutter was born on 17 Jul 1860 ^[1] in the United States and she immigrated to Canada in 1889. ^[2]

She married James Anderson ^{[3] [1] [4]} before 1880 ^[5] and they had (at least) the following children:

1. John born around 1881 in Texas ^[3]
2. Frederick born 16 Mar 1883 ^{[1] [6]}
3. Oscar born 22 Feb 1888 ^[1]
4. Orlo born 14 Sep 1890 ^{[1][4] [7]}
5. Cassie born 11 Jul 1892 ^{[1][4] [8]}
6. Adelaide (Addie) born 7 Feb 1894 ^[1][4]
7. James born 10 Aug 1895 ^[1][4]
8. Wilford born 4 Feb 1897 ^[1][4]
9. Walter born 29 Sep 1898 ^[1][4]
10. Edward born 29 Apr 1902 ^[9][4]

Her husband passed away in 1910 ^[10] and she appeared as a widow head of household in the 1921 census. Two of her sons and three grandchildren were living with her at that time. The grandchildren were all born in the United States and immigrated to Canada in 1915. ^[2]

Lilla passed away in 1922 and was buried with her husband at Gaspereau Cemetery. ^[10]

Research Notes

The 1901 and 1911 census records both indicate that she was born in NS, not the USA. However, the 1921 census indicated she was born in the USA and the 1891 census indicated Michigan. Her name was Laura in the 1891 census and Lilla in all the later ones.

Her gravestone shows here middle initial as R, which would coincide with Roxana. However, the transcription on the Find a Grave site says B. Sourced proof for "Roxana" would need to be found in order to request a correction on the site.

The birth record of her son Edward shows her name as Roxana Young Anderson. Young was her mother's maiden name.
