Life

Laura Walden was born at Rockford, Coosa County, Alabama, on 27 March 1858, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date.1 She was a daughter of Westley D. Walden and his second wife, Elizabeth Moore, who had married in Coosa County in 1855, and the federal census of 1860 listed her, indexed as "Laura Welden," in her father's household in the county's second subdivision.2 Her father, a Confederate captain, died at Marietta, Georgia, in 1863, and her elder half-brother was William Walker Walden.3

By 1879 she was in Texas: on 1 January 1879 "Miss Laura Waldren" married C. S. Wilson, Clinton Scott Wilson, in Coryell County.4 The census of 1880 listed Laura Wilson in his household in Precincts 4 and 5 of Coryell County, with her younger brother George Walden living with them.5 By 1900 the family had moved to San Fernando Township, Los Angeles County, California, and in 1910 the census found Laura Wilson in Assembly District 70 of Los Angeles.6 The tree names six children: Maude Belle (1879–1980), Gillie (1882–1912), Von Clinton, called Vonnie (1887–1959), Olivia Blanche (1890–1948), Zena Leonora (1890–1959) and Alta (born 1893).7 She is named as their mother, as Laura Waldern, Walden or Waldon, in the California records of her daughters' marriages in 1907 and 1920 and of the deaths of four of her children between 1948 and 1980.8

Laura Wilson died at Hollywood, Los Angeles, on 25 February 1942.9 Her California death record, indexed under Laura Walden Wilson, names her husband as Clinton Scott Wilson, in one index as "Clayton Scott Wilson," and her father as Wesley Walden.10
