By the time Lura was a teenager, she was the only living child of John & Anna Everingham. Her father died when she was 14. Brothers Claudie & William had likely died before she was born but DeForest died whe she was about 13. He was only 9 and was playing with two other boys who had a rifle. The rifle went off and killed DeForest. Lura married at age 17 (she claimed age 18 on her license). Her daughter Vera died at age 6.
