The oldest child was convicted of murdering Laura's brother, Asa, in 1922. An article from February 9, 1922 states:
  PHIL STONE CONFESSES TO MURDER OF ASA BERRY
    According to Sheriff S. T. Gower and other local authorities, Phil Stone has made a complete confession to the killing of his
  uncle, Asa Berry, near the Berry home in the northeast part of Dallas county last Thursday evening, following an alleged
  disagreement. The two had been running a still, according to reports, on the Berry place and several other men had been with
  them during the afternoon, but had departed before the trouble arose.  The first known of the killing of Berry was when Stone
  told some neighbors that evening that his uncle had fallen into the river.  Upon investigation they found Berry in the river, his
  head supported by a limb. He lived several hours although a hammer used in killing him, was buried several times in his head.
  He never regained consciousness. The hammer was found later.
    A still in operation and two gallons of moonshine whiskey were also found in the house. The two men had partaken of too much
  of the whiskey, according to Stone's story and Berry was very drunk. They quarreled and when Berry made a move as to get a
  rock, Stone, as he is supposed to have told the officers, used the hammer on Berry's head and dragged him to the river and
  threw him in.
    Stone was brought to Buffalo Friday by the authorities and is in jail awaiting trial at the March term of the Circuit Court.
