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.
