In 1900, Laura was stationed in Shamokin, Pa with fellow Gospel Worker Rebecca Weiss. Laura did not stay with the Gospel Workers Society; on 9 July 1901 she married James A. Weaver of Allentown, Pa. They made their home in Philadelphia where James was a carpenter in the early years of their marriage then was a foreman in a storage company for many years. Laura and her husband had at least four children. James died in 1932 and is buried in Hillside Cemetery in Roselyn, Pa. Laura followed him on 9 October 1936 and is buried next to him.
