Obituary: Laura Cravath - RIN 12811
Deseret News, 30 July 1917, p 14, FHL film 0027006
Mrs. Laura C. Pack, a widely known pioneer and Church worker, died at her home on Blaine avenue Saturday evening, July 28. She had been suffering for some time from high blood pressure and, although surrounded by loving relatives who ministered to her wants, she continued to grow weaker and on Friday suffered a stroke of paralysis. From that time until the end, she remained almost in an unconscious condition.
Mrs. Pack was the daughter of Austin and Eliza Doty Cravath, and was born in Weathersfield, Wyoming county, New York, Jan 21, 1840. She came to Utah with her mother in 1850 and was married to the late Ward E. Pack in 1858. Much of her life was spent with that well-known pioneer and frontiersman in settling new districts and a great part of her life was passed in Kamas; later she lived in Roosevelt, though for the last nine years she had been with her daughters in this city.
She had 11 children, of whom six survive her. They are: Leon R. Pack, Mrs. May P. Ingham, J. Austin Pack, Mrs. Grace E. Callis, Pearl I. Pack and Laura E. Blazzard.
Mrs. Pack had lived an active life, devoted to the good of others and her departure will cause deep mourning in a wide circle. Much of her later life had been devoted to temple work and previously she was connected with both the Young Ladies’ and Relief society movements, having been president of the Relief society in Kamas for many years.

Laura married Ward Eaton Pack Sr., son of John Pack and Julia Ives, on 26 Sep 1858 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. (Ward Eaton Pack Sr. was born on 17 Apr 1834 in Watertown, Jefferson, New York, died on 16 Nov 1907 in Vernal, Uintah, Utah and was buried on 20 Nov 1907 in Vernal, Uintah, Utah.)
