Laura Perrott remained a lifelong resident of Humboldt County and appears to have married James Mahan about 1900. After studying art at the Mark Hopkins Institute in San Francisco, she maintained a studio in her home in Eureka. She was active in the Sierra Club and instrumental in saving many of the redwoods. Her work includes landscapes and still lifes in oil and watercolor. She died in San Francisco on Feb. 6, 1937. Member: Calif. State Fair, 1883; Humboldt Art Club (cofounder, 1934). | Source:
