Leora Cora Lathrop Thompson
(Mrs. Jacob Thompson)
a/k/a
Leora Cora Lathrop Smith
(Mrs. Clyde Smith)

Dec. 22, 1897 - April 10, 1935


2nd.091


Note:
A previous Evergreen cemetery transcription used "Nov. 10, 1897" for the DOB. Her age at death on April 10, 1935 was 37 years 3 months and 19 days, which as her obituary states provides for a DOB of December 22, 1897.

Leora was married to Clyde Smith on December 25, 1918. He succumbed to the influenza epidemic just two weeks later, his death taking place on January 10, 1919.

Leora remarried to Jacob Thompson (no relation to this contributor) on Feb. 4, 1927.

Leora died on April 10, 1935 and was buried beside the grave of her first husband, Clyde Smith, in an unmarked grave as shown in the photo used for this entry.

Where Jacob Thompson is at, isn't known to this contributor at this time. Any clarification would be appreciated.
