Just received her death certificate, (d. 3/27/1922 in Grand Rapids Township, Kent County, Michigan). and says her parents were Andrew Sweet and Melida Thompson, both born in Scotland. Laura married David LaPard (many variation on spelling, Lepard, Leopard, Leppard, Lapaid) in Canada in 1866, before they moved to Grand Rapids Township in 1870. They had 2 girls and 4 boys. The two girls were born in Canada. Maude May LaPard, their youngest daughter, is my second great-grandmother. Would like any information on Laura Sweet. I would also like to find out about her parents. Have looked all over internet and not having any luck. Many Thanks! Barbara
