| Notes |
- What's her correct first name?
Her son, Jacob's, death certificate lists her name as "Loruhama" and she appears as "Rhuhama" in the 1880 census and "Lorahamma" in the 1870 census. Their marriage record says "Ruhanna". The Mary Anna Bishir note lists her name as "Laurahama". On the death certificate for Emma Jerome Bisher Murphy, daughter of Laurahanna (sp?) and Lewis Bishir, her son, Herschel was the informant and spelled his grandmother's name "Laurahanna".
According to Julie Monson, Loruhama’s grand-daughter, Mary Lou Jensen, had interviewed her grandmother many years ago and she said that her mother spelled her name every possible way: Lourahama, Lorahama, Ruhama. Mary Lou suggests it should be as it is in the Bible (Hosea 1:6,8) which is Loruhama. Loruhama had belonged to the Christian church known as the Complite (Complete) Church but she [Mary Anna] didn't
believe in it herself. [3]
