Laura was still living in the house at 51 E. 126th St. in Harlem. Her occupation is listed as "Own Income" and she had an Irish servant by the name of Winifred Owens, who had emigrated in 1884, also 45 years old.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sometime in the teens probably, Laura moved in with her cousin Sarah in Stamford, Connecticut. Perhaps this occurred shortly after the death of Sarah's husband, Charles Dennison Belden on 12 February 1912. There she is found in the 1920 Census:

Catherine Maria, her husband, William Mortimer Allen, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Belden are buried in the Allen plot in Woodlawn Cemetery, with Maria Mullen, "A faithful servant for 66 years" according to her tombstone.

Laura is apparently missing from the 1930 Census; this could be explained by her residence in Siena, Italy for a time. We know that Kate B. Leggett and her daughter, Helen, visited her there during their European tour. But here is a false lead in that same Census:
20 Nov 2002. The newly-available NY index to the 1930 Census shows a Laura L. Leggett committed to the St. Lawrence State Hospital. She is listed as married and 55, (not single and 65) but the staff might be expected to not necessarily know (or care) about getting their charges' biographical information just so. She is born in NY of Ny-born parents. Surely the name is just too close to be anyone else. Is this why the mystery?

Dear David,
Uncle Milton Leggett said that Cousin Laura "went funny in the head" at the very end of her life, so it's possible this is the same person. However, when my mother and grandmother visited her in Siena she showed no sign of this ( I have my mother's diary of the trip). I think I also have letters from Laura (in the trunk in the attic) showing that she made a trip to New Zealand in the 1930s (finding these is an archaelogical dig), so it may not be the same person at all. By the way, while you're sending genealogical stuff, you might want to include your two Black cousins in the email list: heyjmblack@aol.com and tmb@san.rr.com
Dorothy
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
In March of 1938, Laura indeed wrote home from New Zealand, as Dorothy alludes to above. The "archealogical dig" to find this letter ocurred in August, 2003, during the cleanout of Dorothy's house after her death on 29 April 2003:

LAURA LACEY LEGGETT
Dear Kate,
Behold my stopping place at the moment, we are over a week behind owing to trouble with labor, they are trying to see how little work they can do, and it is not crowned with success. If one wants to study communists at work, (no it never works) come here!

Before I forget I want to tell you something about the fan I sent you for Christmas, it came from Java and is made of gazelle skin, and the supports are from the horns of the carafayo, the bird is the Garuda bird well known in the Hindu religion.
When I was at Auckland I made a trip up into the country to see some of the thermal activity, and there is much in the way of geysers and boiling springs both water and mud. In fact this is a very recent place, in driving about there were no animals to be seen no insects, no birds or snakes everything has to be brought here, even flowers.
We hope to sail for Sydney this P. M. I was due there a week ago, have my return ticket but would like to go to the office and
[over]
see about it for I tranship there and hope to go out to Tahiti. Here's hoping all will be well.
How are you all, well by now I hope, each and all of you! My love to the two kiddies, I suppose they have grown like green bay trees, all Good Luck to each and all of you, Dorothy of course is quite a big child by this time, love to every one of you,
Laura
The letter is addressed to Mrs. Milton W. Leggett (Lucile McKee (Showalter) Leggett, 1893-1970), but the street address is in fact the residence of Mrs. William T. Leggett (Kate Adelia (Bagnall) Leggett, 1864-1960), and the salutation is "Dear Kate,".
The "two kiddies" referenced at the end of the letter are Kate's grandchildren by her son Milton W. Leggett, i.e., Elizabeth Ann (Leggett) Black, b. 1927 and John M. Leggett, b. 1931. "Dorothy" is Dorothy (Corbett) Wertz, 1937-2003, her last grandchild by her daughter Helen (Leggett) Corbett, 1899-1982.
Cousin Laura Lacey Leggett was quite the free spirit, and we see her here at the age of 73, traveling the world alone, in New Zealand, planning to go out to Tahiti. It is known that she died in sometime after December, 1941, and her ashes ended up in a Silver Spring, Maryland funeral home, where they were in 1951, with considerable storage charges accrued, according to a letter written that year by Milton W. Leggett. She was to have been interred in the family plot in Woodlawn in the Bronx, but this evidently never happened for reasons unknown at present.
This letter was electronically transcribed 24 December 2003 by David John Leggett, after he retrieved it from the Westport Point, Massachusetts house of Dorothy (Corbett) Wertz on the occasion of her funeral in August of 2003. Dorothy had died abroad, in Cancun, Mexico, on 29 April 2003, of a heart attack associated with scuba diving. Her ashes fortunately were repatriated without incident, and laid to rest in Westport's Beech Grove Cemetery with those of her husband, Richard Wayne Wertz, who had died the preceding year. The exact circumstances surrounding Dorothy's death remain a mystery. Perhaps we will eventually receive a Mexican coroner's report, which will shed some light. Dorothy had been in Cancun attending a genetics conference. She traveled the world in connection with her work as a geneticist, unlike Laura, who traveled for pure pleasure. Like Laura, Dorothy left no descendants. I was the most involved with cleaning out both of Dorothy's houses, and I never saw the fan mentioned in the letter. Given the penciled note on the cover, it is clear that the letter was saved to establish provenance for the fan.

In December, 1941, Laura is mentioned in family correspondence as having forgotten to send a Christmas card, which was investigated and one was eventually sent, but signed by another, so by that time, she was losing her faculties.

My dear Cousin Kate-
Thank you for your letter of December 7th- It was good of you to write- I have a Christmas card from Laura today with a message (written by another hand) saying that she did forget, so that quite sets matters straight- I was sorry to write her reminding her of her forgetfulness but there was nothing else to be done. I hope that it did not distress her-

We are having our first really cold weather of the season and it seems more like Christmas but I fear this year it will be overshadowed by this terrible war- I am glad however that this country has at last- taken a firm stand- We have such splendid courageous letters from our English friends- I hope you will have a lovely Christmas visit with your daughter- Dorothy must be a dear- Ned joins me in best wishes for a very happy Christmas to you and all our cousins- Cordially yours. Susan H. Thurston
This letter was electronically transcribed 24 December 2003 by David John Leggett, after he retrieved it from the Westport Point, Massachusetts house of Dorothy (Corbett) Wertz on the occasion of her funeral in August of 2003. Kate no doubt saved it and passed it on to her daughter Helen, who in turn passed it on to her daughter Dorothy. This letter, written just after Pearl Harbor, with its references to war, is most interesting for its apparent reference to Laura Lacey Leggett, who, for many years I though had died in 1938. But she seems to be sending a Christmas card in 1941, although she is forgetful and not able to write on her own.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Milton's son, my father, John Milton Leggett, b. 1931, can recall a visit from Laura while his family was living in Ridgeville Street, Pittsburgh. Milton had bought this house in September, 1941, but it is unclear as to when exactly in the early 1940s this visit would have occurred. What became of her after December 1941 is unknown, except that her ashes were sitting unclaimed in a Silver Spring, Maryland funeral home in 1951, as set out below. Before this, we never did know of any burial location. I thought that due to her extended residence and travel abroad, she might have died and been buried in some foreign country.
Back on track with documents located among a box of papers my father gave me on 25 April 2003:
3/19/51 [written in pencil]
Dear Cousin Margaret,
I hope you will pardon the typewritten letter but my handwriting has deteriorated steadily since about the third grade in school and is now distinctly miserable. Under the prodding of your note the other day, I have started the ball rolling with both the undertaker and Woodlawn Cemetary [sic]. Fortunately I am in full possession of the details of the lots at Woodlawn and anticipate no trouble. There will probably be numbers of papers to be signed which will take little time. There will be no expense for you in connection with the present undertaking as my mother and I will take care of everything. We certainly appreciate your offer and wish to thank you very much for the trouble to which you have been put in locating Cousin Laura's ashes.
Lucile and I are starting on our trip Friday and regret that we cannot include a call at Norwood on the itinerary. Give our regards to John.
Very truly yours,
Milton
[My grandfather Milton William died in 1970, and my father, John Milton hasn't a clue as to who this Cousin Margaret and John might be, who lived in Norwood (what state?). As for being down a maternal line, Laura's mother's Acker siblings all died as infants or young and unmarried. Now Laura's grandmother, Laura Lacey, had siblings, one of which was Herbert A. Lacey, who served in the Civil War as a Captain; we have his picture, but little other information.]
[The Pumphrey Funeral Home records obtained 25 June 2005 (see below) show this Cousin Margaret to be Mrs. Milton H. Bancroft (Margaret Corlies Moore) c. 1872-aft. 1951, and her son, John T. Bancroft 1896-1978. The notes show that the funeral home evidently had a conversation with Mr. Bancroft upon Laura's death in 1945, but he must have been dead by 1951, as Milton Leggett mentions his son, but not him. Margaret was a 2d cousin to Laura, and 2d cousin 1x removed to Milton William. The 1930 Census shows them in Olney/Sandy Spring, Maryland, on Norwood Road, and there appears to be a locality known as Norwood on modern maps of the area. This line of the family is descended from Thomas, younger brother of William H. Leggett, and the two branches evidently maintained ties now lost to us. DJL]

Gentlemen:
I am writing you about the procedure necessary for the interment of ashes in Spring Lake, Section 9, Deed 298, Lots 522, 523 listed the Estate of William H. Leggett, Francis W. Leggett executor. It is a long story and much involved, but the duty apparently falls to me to see that the ashes of Laura Lacey Leggett, daughter of the above mentioned Francis W. Leggett and Laura L. Leggett buried respectively in lots 16 and 18 are properly interred. Laura Lacey Leggett, spinster, and the subject of this inquiry died some time ago, and I have recently learned that her ashes are in Silver Spring, Maryland with considerable storage charges accrued. I am now in process of getting possession of these ashes and wish to know what steps it will be necessary to take to secure interrment [sic] and wish to know what steps it will be necessary to take to secure interrment [sic] in the family lot with her parents as I understand would be her right under the will of William H. Leggett.
Your records will probably show that I, with my cousin Howard C. Leggett signed papers for the interment of our aunt Florence H. Leggett (Leslie) sometime in 1934. At the time I secured all available information on these lots. The portraits of William H. and his wife Margaret W. look down on us every day in our living room and dining room respectively and make the family seem quite real. Thank you for any aid you can give me in this problem.
Very truly yours,
Milton W. Leggett

My next clue is a letter, dated March 19, 1951, from my grandfather (died 1970) that indicates her ashes were in a Silver Spring, Maryland funeral home with considerable storage charges accrued. So it would appear that she died sometime between 1941 and 1951, and probably in Maryland. I am looking for her date and place of death, and burial location, if possible. Can you help in any way?

On 24 June 2005, after the above, I just happened to google "Laura Lacey Leggett" again for the first time in many months and hit paydirt.

PART 2 SURNAMES F - M
The Genealogy Club of the Montgomery County Historical Society obtained records
from the Pumphrey Funeral Home of Rockville, Maryland for the period from 1929
to 1946, along with a few 1910 - 1913 records. Taken as a whole, these records
provide an interesting view of the activities of the funeral home during those
periods. The majority of the records are accounting records for funerals and
ambulance runs made by the funeral home. There were also daily entry journals
which documented flower orders along with payments made against ambulance and
funeral accounts. Members of the club copied the records and returned the
originals to the funeral home. These copied records are kept at the Montgomery
County Historical Society Jane Sweeney Library in Rockville, Maryland. What
follows is a list of names found within those records.

The place is still in business:
http://www.pumphreyfuneralhome.com/
Since 1854, Pumphrey Funeral Home has been providing quality and compassionate service to the families of Montgomery County...
Around 10 am on 24 June 2005, I called Pumphrey's Rockville number, 301-762-3939, and related Laura's story to the man who answered, and he referred me to the Bethesda number, 301-652-2200, which is their main office. There I again told the tale to Mara _______, who took my number and went off to research if indeed they still have Laura's ashes in storage. Mara called back about an hour later, saying she had found the ashes in a little wooden box. There are 10 pages of records in the files, which she promised to copy and have for me when I come over tomorrow.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Mara said that Laura died in Chestnut Grove, Rockville, an old hotel that became a family-run mental hospital open until quite recently. The funeral home records (below) show that Laura lived "in District Where Death Occurred 6 yrs., 4 mon." Whether this means she had lived at Chestnut Grove since sometime in 1939 is unknown. She may have started out living with the Bancrofts and then was institutionalized later. If the Hospital's records are still available, we may be able to find out. Her being in a mental institution would fit with Dorothy Wertz's recollection that 'Uncle Milton Leggett said that Cousin Laura "went funny in the head" at the very end of her life' so here she is, just in a different institution than that inhabited by the Laura L. Leggett seen in Upstate New York in the 1930 Census. Without the Chestnut Grove's records, we may have to wait until the 1940 Census becomes available in 2012 to see where she is enumerated.
As the center of commerce and legal affairs for Montgomery County, Rockville was a fine locale for hotels. Beginning in the 1750s, travelers, courthouse clientele, salesmen, and visitors to the Court House town stayed at Lawrence Owen's ordinary, Charles Hungerford's tavern, Francis Kidwell's Farmers Hotel, the Washington Hotel, the Union Hotel (rebuilt as the Corcoran), the Montgomery House, and others.
The arrival of the B&O railroad in 1873 changed the town. Rockville became a destination for city-dwellers wanting to spend a weekend, holiday, or summer in the country. In addition to the hotels around Court House Square, summer visitors took rooms in local boarding houses or made arrangements to stay in private homes.
In 1886, Charles G. Willson purchased five acres west of the town of Rockville, hired an architect, and began to build a large, four-story brick "summer boarding house." Before the building was completed, Willson filed for bankruptcy. Among those looking at the building were the Trustees of the Rockville Academy. The unfinished hotel and adjoining three acres were bought for $6,000 by Mary J. Colley, proprietress of the Clarendon Hotel in Washington, D.C., and her partner Charles W. Bell.
When the Woodlawn Hotel opened for business in the spring of 1889, it was an immediate success. Summer guests, many of whom were prominent D.C. residents, enjoyed social gatherings, musical soirees, card games, dances, walks among the trees and cool country breezes. Ads for the Woodlawn boasted electric bells, gas lighting, artesian water, fresh country vegetables, breezy porches, and 40 guest rooms. Visitors usually came by train, traveling the mile from the railroad station to the hotel by carriage.
Rockville's "boom" continued into the Gay Nineties, until a series of depressions deflated the economy. Many summer boarders, such as Edwin and Lucy Smith, decided to build year-round residences on lots in new subdivisions opening around Rockville. They liked living in a small town convenient to federal government jobs in Washington. However, by 1906, the Woodlawn's owners, heavily in debt, had to sell. The hotel, stable, windmill, ice house, carriage house, laundry and servants quarters, and eight acres went to public auction.
The hotel was purchased by Dr. Ernest L. Bullard, a surgeon and professor of psychiatry and neurology from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dr. Bullard renovated the hotel, by that time at the end of the trolley line. In 1910, he opened a sanitarium for the care of nervous and mental diseases, naming it for the 125 chestnut trees on the property. For many years, Dr. Bullard was the sole physician. For more than 75 years, three generations of Bullards operated Chestnut Lodge. The private hospital became known nationally for the quality of care and treatment, based upon the Bullards' philosophy that mental illness is treatable through a combination of psychoanalysis and occupational therapy. Well-known therapists, such as Frieda Fromm-Reichmann and Otto Will, joined the staff. Through the years, the Bullards added acreage and buildings to their property, and made their home at Rose Hill.
By 1997, Rockville had changed and so had the Bullard family. CPC Health, a nonprofit corporation, purchased the portion of Chestnut Lodge facing West Montgomery Avenue, but declared bankruptcy three years later. From 2001 to 2003, Rockville's only remaining resort hotel was owned by the Washington Waldorf School. In December 2003, the property was conveyed to Chestnut Lodge Properties, Inc.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
On Saturday 25 June 2005 at about 8:15, I arrived at Pumphrey's with children William and Hannah and met Mara, who had the ashes and made copies of the records, which answered many questions about persons in the above 1951 correspondence.
