Reported to be 73 years old at time of death but age on censuses is 20 (1850 Harris Co, GA), 30 (1840 Muscogee Co), and 40 (1850 Muscogee Co). So born about 1818 ?
Married first 1838 in Harris Co, GA to P. J. Philips. Married 2nd November 14, 1882 in Muscogee Co, GA to Thomas H B Rivers
Burial record from sexton's book says Laura Rivers Philips was born in GA, died aged 73 of paralysis, and buried Oct 23, 1888 in Section 2, Lots 660 1/2 and 666 1/2, as a Resident of Columbus, GA (so died there, probably)
A listing from the 1943 survey of Linwood Cemetery by the LDS Southern States Mission says
RIVERS, L. E. (Mrs.) d. 22 Oct. 1888, Age 73 years, Wife of Gen. P. J. Philips.
The Historic Linwood Cemtery book by Dolores Autry, edited by Lea Dowd and others, vol. 2, p. 58 says death date for this woman is October 22, 1889. The death year was transcribed wrong or it's a typo. The correct year is 1888
