The bio of Laura Mae (Britton/Briten) Bennett is a work in progress. She was born in Ohio but information on her parents or the exact location of her birth is questionable. What is known is that Laura Mae married Edward Marion Bennett on 20 January, 1897 in Boone County, Iowa. For a period of time she lived in isolation outside Wickenburg, Arizona with her son Ralph. Together they prospected the area around Wickenburg, always armed with her geiger counter,gold pan, dog and pack burro, always hoping to find a mother lode of uranium or gold. Laura Mae and Edward Marion produced a family of five boys, William Thomas, Albert Amos, Ralph,Roy, and Leo E. Laura Mae died in January 1971 in Phoenix, Arizona. I am still searching for records pertaining to her final resting place.
