Laurence was the son of Oral E. GROSSNICKLE and his wife Laura Christina CONNOR. I haven't been able to track down a death record for Oral.
He first married Nora Ethel BRUBAKER circa 1923 and had three children. They divorced circa 1935. One of their children that has died and is not listed here was: Verna Mae GROSSNICKLE, born June 23, 1924, Modesto, CA, died June 8, 2003 in Sacramento, CA. The Social Security Applications and Claims Index lists her as follows: "Aug 1938: Name listed as Verna Mae GROSSNICKLE; Feb 1943: Name listed as Verna Mae CAIN; 24 Jun 1985: Name listed as Verna CAIN POPELKA; 04 Dec 1985: Name listed as Verna M CAIN; 02 Aug 1989: Name listed as Lane EMERSON." It is unknown where she is buried.
His second wife was Elizabeth Sarah BROWN. They married circa 1936. They had one child, Patricia, together.
His third wife was Ethel Jerrel STONE. They married on Oct. 8, 1941. They had no children together. They are buried beside each other.
Laurence was a carpenter and became the supervisor of high rise buildings under construction for Guy F. Atkinson Co. He also owned GROSSNICKLE Heating Company in Long Beach, California at least in the 1940's and possibly longer.
