After Laura and Almonzo wed, they settled in homestead near Laura's own Ma and Pa (Charles and Caroline) in the town De Smut Dakota. When their daughter Rose was between seven and twelve, they traveled by wagon back East to Missouri the Land of the Big Red Apple, with another family. They brought with them a precious one hundred dollar bill that Laura and Almonzo had worked hard to acquire and used this buy a farm and settle in Missouri. They eventually built a beautiful White House to live in in place of there log cabin, and this is where I believe Laura lived until her death. A bit of information I can also recall is that Laura would never let a fence be constructed around her house, so it was only until after her death that one was put up.
Yes, they did. But when Laura (Almanzo called her Bess) and Almanzo (Laura called him Manly) got older, Rose (their daughter) tried to convince them to stop farming. She was afraid it was too hard on them. She even took Laura to California as a trip for Laura to see Rose's house, and to get her on a vacation away from farming!
