• Notes

  Laura was playing with some of her siblings by a lake which their father had told them not to play by. While playing Laura fell into the very cold lake. They didn't tell their father because they were afraid they would get in trouble for playing by the lake and Laura just went to bed. As a result she developed pneumonia and died. They took her into Belfast Hospital where she died. (Told by her sister Ethel)
