From “A Klein Family History, 1815 – 1981” by Dorothy Klein Luers 3. Laura Josephine Marie Klein – January 25, 1917 – October 19, 1984 And another girl was born to Bill and Mary. She followed Florence to school. Laura had fun all the time and Florence did the worrying about the tricks Laura played. "Kidder" should have been Laura's middle name. She had her family in giggles or sobs constantly. She did whatever came to her bright mind and hung the blame (jokingly) on whoever was nearest. All the Klein children were good looking but Laura was the cute one with a charming personality and so she was a very popular young lady. But witty Laura kept all the beaus laughing and waiting. Laura became a live in housekeeper and helped with the children of an executive at the Fanny Farmer Candy Company. When his family got transferred to Wisconsin, Laura went with them. Eventually she started working for the candy company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. When she came back to Minnesota, she worked at a Fanny Farmer store in downtown St. Paul. Wyman Fourré worked kiddy corner to the store in the Ramsey County Courthouse and was the first Veteran's Service officer in Ramsey County. He met her going into that candy store. A handsome fellow with a wit to match hers, he bought her tons of candy until she finally accepted his proposal. Laura married Wyman Francis Fourré, 1/20/1897, on 9/25/1945. They first lived in a four-plex on Midway Parkway. They built their house on Midway Parkway & Pascal between the State Fair grounds and Como Park. She was a great baker: cakes, bars and everyone's favorite, apple crisp. Wyman loved to garden. After Wyman retired, he still went to the courthouse regularly to volunteer with a friend who was the Judge that ran the juvenile court. He would bring a lot of these troubled children home to be with his kids to play catch, and he showed them how to garden along with many other activities. They kept busy at their church. They helped build the Men's Club and the Women's Club, organized bingo games where many parishioners worked and Laura kept the books. She also regularly laundered the Priests Albs and worked the annual Rummage Sales, while Wyman ushered every Sunday. Laura took care of Wyman, and he died of heart disease at an old age on 6/28/1982. She kept busy with grandchildren and her church. She loved having family and friends over while serving them food and visiting. She died of a heart attack on October 19, 1984.
